Is Mohanlal’s Thudarum Inspired By Any Real-Life Incident?(Photo Credit –Facebook)
Thudarum, the new Malayalam crime thriller with Mohanlal, hit theatres on April 25, 2025. Tharun Moorthy directed the film with Mohanlal, portraying Benz, a cab driver embroiled in a criminal scheme when his vehicle is used in a smuggling affair. It becomes more of an emotional experience when he learns that the dead body recovered from his vehicle is that of his son, who has been missing.
Following the film’s release, most people came to feel that the plot could be inspired by an actual case from Kerala. Some even linked it to the shocking 2018 Kevin Murder Case, where the young boy, belonging to a Dalit Christian family, was murdered by his wife’s family because of caste differences.

Mollywood Strike Crisis ( Photo Credit – Instagram )
In December of last year, we reported on the challenging situation faced by Mollywood film producers. While Malayalam cinema has gained significant exposure outside of Kerala and is widely recognized for its content-driven, grounded storytelling, the industry has suffered severe financial losses. According to a Kerala Film Producers’ Association (Kfpa) report, the Malayalam film industry incurred losses amounting to Inr 650–700 crores in 2024.
This grim scenario persisted despite the financial success of several notable films, including A.R.M., Kishkindha Kaandam, Aavesham, Premalu, Aadujeevitham: The Goat Life, Manjummel Boys, and others. Unfortunately, recent developments indicate that the situation remains unchanged.
Various film bodies in the Malayalam film industry have decided to take matters into their own hands by announcing an indefinite strike starting June 1, 2025. The strike is primarily fueled by concerns over actors’ skyrocketing remuneration and the entertainment tax, which contribute to inflated and unsustainable budgets for Malayalam films,...

Daaku Maharaaj is turning out to be a losing affair at the worldwide box office. Despite a solid start, the film failed to cover the desired distance as Venkatesh’s Sankranthiki Vasthunam severely impacted it. Amid an underwhelming run, there’s something to cheer about: The film has surpassed Bhagavanth Kesari’s lifetime collection to become Nandamuri Balakrishna’s third highest-grosser of all-time. Keep reading for a detailed collection report!
Directed by Bobby Kolli, the Tollywood period action drama was released theatrically on January 12. It opened to mixed reviews from critics, but the feedback was mostly favorable among the ticket-buying audience. Still, it failed to keep the momentum intact after a superb start. It’s clear now that during the Sankranti season, Sankranthiki Vasthunam stole the thunder from other releases, and there was no second choice among audiences.

Everything you need to know about Rekhachithram (Photo Credit – Instagram)
In 2024, Asif Ali had a great year. The year began with his cameo in the hit Varshangalkku Shesham, and then his next film was Thalavan, where he played a police officer and one of the main protagonists. The movie did well, and even a sequel was announced. While his next venture, Level Cross, wasn’t a huge success, many critics considered it a good film, with most reactions being mixed. Unfortunately, his next film, Adios Amigo, didn’t do well at the box office.
However, Asif Ali’s next outing was part of a multi-starrer anthology web series, Manorathangal, based on the works of M.T. Vasudevan Nair. His following project, Kishkindha Kaandam, turned out to be a massive hit—something no one expected. Now, in 2025, his first film of the year, Rekhachithram, a crime investigation drama, is getting a lot...
