Movie Review: Thank You For Coming - 3.5/5

# Malayalam Cinema's Shocking ₹530 Crore Loss in 2025: Hits Couldn't Save the Day! Imagine pouring ₹860 crore into dreams on the silver screen, only to watch ₹530 crore vanish into thin air. That's the harsh reality Malayalam cinema faced in 2025, as revealed by the Kerala Film Chamber of Commerce.[1][2] ## A Year of Highs and Crushing Lows Out of 185 new releases, just **9 superhits** and **16 hits** lit up the box office, with standouts like *Lokah Chapter 1 Chandra* smashing into the 300 crore club.[1] Another **10 films** broke even thanks to OTT platforms, but the remaining **150 flops** dragged the industry into the red.[2] Re-releases of 8 classics offered hope, yet only **3** delivered decent returns, failing to stem the financial bleed.[1][2]

This **₹530 crore net loss**—after accounting for profits—has sparked debates, with the Producers Association countering at ₹360 crore and questioning the Chamber's unnamed successes.[2] Stars like Mohanlal, Mammootty, Asif Ali, and Nivin Pauly drew crowds with bold stories, proving audiences crave innovation amid the chaos.[1] Yet, this setback spotlights deeper issues: overproduction, rising costs, and shifting viewer habits. Will 2026 pivot to smarter investments and fresh narratives? What do you think caused this massive loss? Share your take in the comments below, drop your favorite 2025 Malayalam hit, and tag a friend to spread the word—let's spark the conversation that could shape the industry's comeback![1][2]
