FAQ
Malayalam Box Office 2024: Questions & Answers
The chart's numbers in short: the #1 film, the total, the billion-dollar hits and the US & Canada share, answered from the same 64 films as the chart.
What is the highest-grossing Malayalam-language movie in 2024?
Anweshippin Kandethum (2024) leads with $4.5M worldwide. Next come Manjummel Boys (2024) at $3.8M and Aavesham (2024) at $3.7M.
How much did Malayalam-language movies released in 2024 earn?

How many Malayalam-language movies released in 2024 made $1 billion?
None. The biggest, Anweshippin Kandethum (2024), earned $4.5M.
How is the 2024 Malayalam box office chart ranked and where do the numbers come from?
Films are ranked by lifetime worldwide gross in US dollars, not adjusted for inflation, and grouped by their release date in 2024. The figures are the reported box office grosses in our database. A gross that looks misattributed, such as one figure shared by two unrelated films or a blockbuster total on an obscure title, is left out rather than shown as a fact, and so are films whose stored language is most likely wrong.
How often is the 2024 Malayalam box office chart updated?
Grosses change while films are in theaters and whenever a new figure is reported; this chart reads the latest numbers in our database, so an older film can still move after a re-release.
