Mollywood Strike Crisis ( Photo Credit – Instagram )
In December of last year, we reported on the challenging situation faced by Mollywood film producers. While Malayalam cinema has gained significant exposure outside of Kerala and is widely recognized for its content-driven, grounded storytelling, the industry has suffered severe financial losses. According to a Kerala Film Producers’ Association (Kfpa) report, the Malayalam film industry incurred losses amounting to Inr 650–700 crores in 2024.
This grim scenario persisted despite the financial success of several notable films, including A.R.M., Kishkindha Kaandam, Aavesham, Premalu, Aadujeevitham: The Goat Life, Manjummel Boys, and others. Unfortunately, recent developments indicate that the situation remains unchanged.
Various film bodies in the Malayalam film industry have decided to take matters into their own hands by announcing an indefinite strike starting June 1, 2025. The strike is primarily fueled by concerns over actors’ skyrocketing remuneration and the entertainment tax, which contribute to inflated and unsustainable budgets for Malayalam films,...

JJ, to life. Karsandas, an advocate for women’s rights, locks horns with religious leader JJ, who exploits women in the name of worship. The Netflix film, based on the famous 1862 Maharaj libel case, has received much praise from the audience.
Junaid Khan’s film also landed in controversy when several Hindu religious bodies opposed its release. However, Maharaj saw the light of the day on June 21. If you liked the high-voltage courtroom drama on Netflix, here are 10 thematically similar dramas to add to your watchlist.

As the Indian film industry reaches the midpoint of 2024, Malayalam-language cinema from the southern state of Kerala has emerged as the breakout success story, while traditional powerhouse Bollywood recalibrates after an uneven start to the year.
“This year has been the year of Malayalam cinema,” says former Disney India head and veteran producer Siddharth Roy Kapur in his half-yearly analysis of the Indian entertainment business for Variety. “With four films crossing INR100 crore [$12 million] each at the box office, it has really come into its own commercially.”
The four films Roy Kapur is referring to are “Manjummel Boys” ($29 million), “The Goat Life” ($19 million), “Aavesham” ($18.6 million) and “Premalu” ($16 million) that occupy positions three, six, eight and nine respectively on the 2024 Indian box office chart.

Turbo At The Worldwide Box Office (Closing Collection): Mammootty’s Film Stalls Its Theatrical Run, Incurring A Loss Of 50.90% ( Photo Credit – Instagram )
Mammootty’s action thriller, Turbo, has sputtered to a disappointing finish at the box office. Despite a solid opening weekend, the film failed to sustain momentum and ultimately fell short of expectations.
After a 35-day theatrical run, Turbo collected 34.37 crore net at the domestic box office, translating to a gross India total of 40.55 crore. Overseas markets offered some solace, contributing 32 crore to the film’s worldwide gross collection, which stands at 72.55 crore.
However, this figure falls significantly short of the film’s estimated budget of 70 crore. Turbo ultimately incurred a loss of approximately 50.90%, marking it a box office flop.

Loved In Theaters, Loathed On Screens! Why Did Varshangalkku Shesham Backfire On Ott? ( Photo Credit – YouTube )
Varshangalkku Shesham, a feel-good family drama, received mixed but mostly positive critical reception during its theatrical run. However, things changed once it began streaming. People began to dislike the movie, and trolls tore it apart on social media.
Listing down the problems voiced by netizens after watching Varshangalkku Shesham on Ott:
Weak Storyline, Unremarkable Execution
Let’s talk about the first issue: the weak storyline. The story is predictable, even from the trailer, but that’s not uncommon for Malayalam movies. Films with thin plots have been successful before. For example, Aavesham, released on the same day as Varshangalkku Shesham, also had a weak plot but became a successful venture. Although it faced some criticism, it wasn’t to the same extent. Another example is Thallumaala from 2022, which also didn’t have a compelling plot.

Mammootty’s action-comedy Turbo continues to impress at the box office, maintaining momentum despite a slight slowdown during weekdays. The film ended its first week with a domestic total of 25.1 crore but bounced back over its second weekend, grossing 4.5 crore across Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Turbo picked up steam during its second weekend, grossing 1.2 crore on Friday, 1.4 crore on Saturday, and 1.9 crore on Sunday. This brings the film’s total India net collection to 29.6 crore, with a gross collection of 34.92 crore after 11 days.
Turbo now faces a crucial challenge: dethroning Varshangallku Shesham as the highest-grossing Malayalam film of 2024 in India. With Varshangallku Shesham sitting at 38.94 crore, Turbo needs to close a gap of nearly 10 crore. This feat is achievable if the film maintains momentum and avoids significant weekday drops.
