In India, many movie industries are spending more and more money on big stars and flashy productions. But in Malayalam cinema, things are different. They focus on history, tradition, culture, and real-life stories. Most important part is that the method is working.
In the first two months of 2023, Malayalam cinema has given us some amazing blockbusters. These movies aren’t just appreciated; they’re making enough money at the box office too. Take Abraham Zula’s movie, for example. It came out around January 11 and became a huge hit. People are calling it a classic example of a successful movie.
Here’s the crazy part: the movie only cost 6 crore rupees to make. But it’s already earned a whopping 40 crore rupees. Then there’s “Malaikottai Vaaliban,” another recent release. It had a budget of 30 crore rupees but has already made 65 crore rupees at the box office. That’s some serious achievement for Malayalam industry.
And let’s not forget “Manjummel Boys,” which came out in February. This one’s based on a true story about 11 guys stuck in the mountains. It only cost 5 crore rupees to make, but in just one week, it made over 50 crore rupees. People are talking about another success story.
Last year, movies like “Nehru” and “Kannur Squad” also made waves at the box office. Malayalam cinema is going in a really interesting direction. They’re bringing people back to the theaters with their local stories and unique style.
It’s amazing to see how Malayalam cinema is thriving without relying on big stars or huge budgets. They’re proving that good storytelling and relatable characters are what really matter and audiences are going to like it.
