Rajesh Madhavan's directorial debut, 'Pennum Porattum,' has opened to a modest Rs 12 lakhs worldwide. Inspired by realist cinema and the casting approach of 'Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum,' the film features newcomers in a character-driven Malayalam drama set in a stark village. With no major competition, the film might see a gradual rise if it gains audience support.
