Naslen K. Gafoor’s latest comedy-drama, ‘Alappuzha Gymkhana’ is enjoying a solid run at the box office. Directed by Khalid Rahman, the film has managed to rake in a total of Rs 10.21 crore India net within just four days of its release, indicating a positive response from audiences despite a noticeable dip on day 4.
Decent openingThe film, which was released on Thursday, April 10, opened with a decent Rs 2.65 crore. It showed steady growth on Friday with Rs 2.8 crore and picked up further on Saturday with an estimated Rs 3.51 crore. However, collections dipped on Sunday, with the film earning around Rs 1.25 crore. This drop, though unexpected for a weekend, didn’t significantly affect the film’s overall box office momentum.
Good occupancy ratesAs per the Sacnilk website, ‘Alappuzha Gymkhana’ recorded a 49.15% overall Malayalam occupancy on Sunday across 2D shows. The occupancy rate was moderate but steady, reflecting consistent audience interest.

Check out our reviewWe gave the film a rating of 3.5 stars out of 5, and our review reads, “Technically, the film is a treat. The audiography, raw, immersive, and at times overwhelming, places us right in the middle of sweaty gyms and crowded streets. The stunt choreography is electric, making the boxing sequences feel visceral and alive. Songs are rooted, catchy, and carry a local flavour that adds charm without overpowering. The performances are uniformly stellar. Naslen brings a restless energy to Jojo, part clueless, part charming, all heart. Lukman as Antony Joshuva is a quiet storm, carrying his role with understated brilliance. Baby Jean’s David John is endearing, while Anagha Ravi's Natasha has quiet confidence and surprising grit.”
