Prithviraj Sukumaran's latest action drama 'Khalifa' opened to mixed reviews on August 21, despite recording the 6th biggest pre-sales in Kerala history.
Critics have described the film as a shoddily written smuggling drama, noting a lack of emotional connection despite the high-profile lead performance.
The film's box office performance is being closely watched, as early audience feedback suggests the movie may struggle to maintain its initial momentum.
