Alappuzha Gymkhana, the latest Malayalam sports comedy directed by Khalid Rahman and starring Naslen in the lead role, is doing very well at the box office. Within just 8 days, the film has collected a strong total of ₹23.46 crore, and it’s now just ₹54 lakh away from being officially declared a box office hit.
A Strong Performance at the Box Office!
The film had a great opening and has managed to stay steady in terms of collections. What’s even more impressive is that Alappuzha Gymkhana is still earning close to its opening day numbers even after a week. On Day 8 (April 17, Thursday), the movie collected ₹2.25 crore, which is only a small drop from the ₹2.31 crore it earned on Day 7.
Here’s a look at the day-wise box office collection of the film so far:
- Day 1 – ₹2.65 crore
- Day 2 – ₹2.8 crore
- Day 3 – ₹3.5 crore
- Day 4 – ₹3.65 crore
- Day 5 – ₹3.4 crore
- Day 6 – ₹2.9 crore

Budget and Profit: A Smart Win!
Alappuzha Gymkhana was made on a budget of ₹12 crore, and it has already made a 95% profit based on its 8-day box office earnings. That’s a huge success, especially for a sports comedy. The film has already beaten the lifetime collection of Khalid Rahman’s last theatrical release, Thallumaala, which earned ₹22.78 crore with a budget of ₹15 crore.
Khalid Rahman’s Growth as a Director
This movie marks another big success for Khalid Rahman. Interestingly, Alappuzha Gymkhana has performed much better than his debut film, Anuraga Karikkin Vellam (2016), which was also a surprise hit. That film collected ₹7.9 crore at the box office and was made on a small budget of ₹2.5 crore. It earned a profit of 216%!
In comparison, Alappuzha Gymkhana has earned about 196% more than his debut movie. That’s a sign of how much Khalid Rahman has grown as a director and storyteller over the years.
Can Alappuzha Gymkhana Beat His Debut Profit?
To beat the profit percentage of his debut movie, Alappuzha Gymkhana needs to collect a total of ₹37.92 crore. That’s ₹14.52 crore more from its current total. Looking at the steady performance and strong word-of-mouth, it seems very possible!
Final Words
With its mix of sports, comedy, and heartwarming moments, Alappuzha Gymkhana is connecting well with audiences. Naslen’s performance, Khalid Rahman’s direction, and the feel-good vibe of the film are working in its favor. As the film moves into its second weekend, it has a good chance to reach more milestones and maybe even set a new benchmark in Khalid Rahman’s career.
