The film received mixed response at the box-office. Corona Papers collected roughly Rs 0.46 crore in India.
Corona Papers Plot
The plot of Corona Papers is based on the Japanese neo-noir film, Akira Kurosawa's Stray Dog. The thriller film revolves around a rookie police officer whose gun gets stolen on a bus. As the police force investigates the matter, the gun is used in a bank robbery leading to the death of an employee.
Speaking about the film in an interview with Om Manorama, director Priyadarshan said that he is still learning. “This is a crime thriller set during the Covid times. It is a small film, and we are not making any tall claims. It is a film I haven’t attempted before. There is no Mohanlal or MG Sreekumar songs or humour. I wrote and produced it. So even if it is a flop or a hit, I don’t need to be accountable to anyone,” the filmmaker said.
“Some directors will have their signatures on their films. My films don’t have that. I am someone who makes all kinds of films. With the inclusion of new technicians and stars, this film became different. Instead of finding faults with everything the new generation is doing, I think you should learn from them. I am still learning,” Priyadarshan said.
