Following the remarkable achievements of 2024, Malayalam cinema embarks on 2025 with an explosive entry through the captivating thriller Identity.

These films have surpassed the ₹50 crore and ₹100 crore milestones at the box office.

Featuring Tovino Thomas, Trisha Krishnan, and Vinay Rai in leading roles, the film premiered in theatres on January 2 and garnered an overwhelmingly positive response.
Within just four days, the film amassed an impressive worldwide box office collection of ₹23.20 crores. Additionally, its Tamil version has also attained hit status, contributing to its overall success. Currently, the film has exceeded ₹40.23 crores in gross earnings within a mere two weeks. As it continues to perform strongly in packed theatres, trade analysts predict that it will soon enter the ₹50 crore club.
Plans are underway for the film's release in Telugu and Hindi in the upcoming weeks, which will likely boost its numbers further. Identity clearly signals that theatres are gearing up for a bustling year ahead. These consecutive box office triumphs are instrumental in attracting more audiences back to cinemas.
