The momentum began with the release of "AnweshippinKandethum," featuring Tovino Thomas in the lead role. Thispolice procedural crime drama received critical acclaim, garnering positive reviews and winning hearts across Kerala.

Simultaneously, Mammootty's "Bramayugam" is also making waves, contributing to the Malayalam industry's triumphant start to the year. Both films have earned praise, further solidifying the region's reputation for producing compelling cinema.

Adding to this streak of successes is the latest entrant, "Manjummel Boys," which hit screens recently and promptly achieved blockbuster status. The film unfolds the tale of a group of friends navigating unexpected misadventures during a vacation trip to Kodaikanal.

In collective triumph, Malayalam cinema continues to shine, with each new release in 2024 proving to be a golden duck for the industry.
