Box Office Triumph: Naslen’s sports-centric drama Alappuzha Gymkhana, directed by Khalid Rahman, is on the brink of creating history at the Malayalam box office. After an intense triple clash at release with Mammootty’s Bazooka and Basil Joseph’s Maranamass, Alappuzha Gymkhana emerged as a fan favorite, raking in ₹44.25 crore from the domestic market alone.
Produced on a modest budget of ₹12 crore, the film has already delivered a massive return of 268.75%, making it the second-most profitable Malayalam film of 2025 so far. Now, it’s poised for another milestone — entering the prestigious list of the top 20 highest-grossing Malayalam films worldwide.
As of Day 43, Alappuzha Gymkhana has grossed ₹72.15 crore globally. It now needs just ₹1.05 crore more to surpass Premam (₹73.20 crore) and secure its place among Malayalam cinema’s elite.
If the trend holds, Naslen’s film will soon rewrite box office history — a decade after Premam first set the benchmark. The film’s steady performance reflects not only strong word-of-mouth but also Naslen’s rising star power in Malayalam cinema.
Fans and the industry alike are eagerly watching as this underdog sports drama edges closer to a record-breaking achievement.
