The Malayalam film industry is experiencing a challenging period as new releases struggle at the box office. VK Prakash’s ‘Paalum Pazhavum’ starring Meera Jasmine grossed Rs 43 lakhs globally in five days. Bhavana’s ‘Hunt’ and Manju Warrier’s ‘Footage’ are also underperforming. Only ‘Nunakkuzhi’ and ‘Vaazha’ are performing comparatively better. This trend reflects broader challenges for the industry, highlighting the difficulty in drawing significant crowds to theaters.
