Alappuzha Gymkhana (2025) English Subtitle -A Punch-Packed Coming-of-Age Sports Drama
Alappuzha Gymkhana, directed by Khalid Rahman, is a spirited and emotionally charged Malayalam-language sports film that explores the unlikely journey of five teenagers who turn to boxing in pursuit of a better future. Released on 10 April 2025, the film has received critical acclaim and was a massive box office success, earning approximately ₹65 crore.
The story centers around Jojo Johnson (Naslen) and his group of underachieving friends who flunk their 12th-grade exams. Faced with bleak academic prospects, they see boxing as a backdoor into college via the sports quota. Their adventure begins at the Alappuzha Gymkhana, where they train under the stern yet caring coach Salim (Kottayam Nazeer). The entry of Antony Joshua (Lukman Avaran), a disgraced but talented boxer, as their mentor, takes the narrative to another level.
Alappuzha Gymkhana succeeds in blending humor, sports drama, and friendship in a grounded, relatable setting. The performances are energetic, especially from Naslen, Lukman Avaran, and Franco Francis. Sandeep Pradeep and Ganapathi S. Poduval bring in both comedic relief and emotional gravity. Anagha Ravi makes a brief but memorable impact as Natasha.
The boxing sequences are raw and realistic, shot with grit by cinematographer Jimshi Khalid. The editing by Nishadh Yusuf keeps the pacing tight across the 139-minute runtime. Vishnu Vijay’s music uplifts the emotional tone of the film, especially during key training and tournament scenes.
While the film occasionally stretches believability—especially during the final ambush scene—it never loses its heart. Themes of class, ambition, loyalty, and identity are woven into the narrative with care, making it more than just a sports film.
With an IMDb rating of 7.2/10 and a 93% approval rating on Google, Alappuzha Gymkhana has solidified its place as one of 2025's most loved Malayalam films.
