New Delhi:
Last year Varun Dhawan’s film Baby John was released. He had a lot of expectations from this film, but Baby John was a failure at the box office within a week. Not only this, the film could not even earn Rs 30 crore on the first weekend. But one film has earned better than its budget in four days. With a worldwide box office collection of Rs 23.20 crore in just four days, Identity has raised new hopes for the Malayalam film industry. The year 2024 has proved to be a milestone for Malayalam cinema, with many films crossing the Rs 50 crore and Rs 100 crore marks at the box office.

Films like Manjummel Boys, ARM, Aavesham, Kishkinda Kandam, Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil, Vaaza, Aadu Jeevitham, Anveshipin Kandethum, Osler, Bhramayugham, Vajashangal Sesham, Premalu and many others have made a significant impact at the box office. The box office frenzy reached its peak with the release of Marco. Films like Manjummel Boys, ARM, Aavesham and Premalu opened new doors for Malayalam cinema in other states, leading to great success for Marco. While the audience was eagerly trying to know what 2025 would be like, Identity hit the theaters and made a huge box office collection of Rs 23.20 crore worldwide in just four days. The film also achieved hit status in its Tamil version, further cementing its place in the 2025 box office lineup.

Identity is written and directed by Akhil Paul and Anas Khan, produced by Raju Malliyath and Dr. CJ Roy, and distributed by Gokulam Movies through Dream Big Films. As the success of “Identity” continues to inspire optimism, it remains to be seen whether upcoming releases can maintain this momentum at the box office.
