Alappuzha Gymkhana audience review: The sports comedy-drama featuring Naslen K Gafoor was launched in both Malayalam and Tamil languages. This latest Malayalam film, which hit theaters on April 10, is making a significant impact at the box office on its first day.
The film’s trailer was unveiled on March 26, two weeks prior to its release, generating excitement around Naslen K Gafoor’s project, which represents a notable return following the controversial romantic drama “Premalu.” With a runtime of 2 hours and 30 minutes, the film was produced on a budget of ₹20 crore.
It garnered positive reviews despite going head-to-head with Mammootty’s Bazooka. One viewer commented, “1st Half: So Far Good. Plenty of Laughable Moments. Technically, the film is Excellent. There are some lags, but the boxing element is superbly executed. #Naslen Steals The Show.” Another viewer noted, “I’m not a huge fan of Malayalam cinema. But if the Thallumaala team made a movie? I’m in.”
A third commenter stated, “The notion of Mammootty fans being intimidated by Naslen is not just a rumor; it’s the reality.” A fourth user added, “Even though it’s facing competition from a #Mammootty film, this one is providing a challenging rivalry. The enthusiasm for #Naslen and #KhalidRahman among the youth is significantly aiding the film’s success.”
