There is a tradition/superstition in Malayalam cinema that the first release will be a flop. Usually, these are small movies too insignificant to make a dent. Millenium Stars tried to subvert that trope and had released at 12:00 AM on a new year, only to flop spectacularly. Nevertheless, it is safe to assume that people don't really want their movies to release first in the year partly because of this tradition and partly because of the pressure from Christmas films.
Releases this week had the best chance in years to make an impact thanks to underperforming Christmas movies barring Aadu 2. Looks like superstition may have got them not to market the movies at all!
Diwanjimoola Grand Prix
5-Jan-2018
The biggest highlight of Diwanjimoola Grand Prix is that it has been written by "Collector Bro" Prashanth M Nair along with Director Anil Radhakrishnan Menon and Riyas Marath. The movie has an ensemble cast with Kunchacko Boban, Nyla Usha, Nedumudi Venu, Vinayakan, Siddique, and others. Gopi Sunder has scored the music and Alex J Pullickal is the DOP.
The marketing has been pathetic to say the least. I didn't realize that the movie had come out yesterday! Even though most of the people who saw the movie liked it, the occupancy has been pathetic, even in multiplexes.
Eeda
Eeda stars Shane Nigam and Nimisha Sajayan. This is an adaption of Romeo and Juliet set in the sanghi-commie warzone. The movie marks the directorial debut of B Ajith Kumar, the accomplished and prolific editor with deep association with several ace directors like Adoor Gopalakrishnan, Lenin Rajendran, and Rajeev Ravi. The director himself has penned the script. Pappu cranks the camera and the music has been done by John P Varkey and Chandran Veyattummal.
The movie has received good reviews but limited occupancy, once again thanks to poor marketing.
Sakhavinte Priyasakhi

... keep reading on reddit ➡I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...
Notices there's only 2;
Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."
I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.
I was just sitting there doing nothing.
But nobody ever mentions his sister, Onya, who invented the starter pistol.
“BOOM”?!
