Tollywood's Top 4 Dominate Kerala Box Office in 2024

The cinema world is like a vast ocean, and every film is a vessel sailing in search of new shores and audiences. In 2024, the waves of Telugu cinema (Tollywood) have surged onto the Kerala coast, with their sails catching the wind of massive box office success. The top four Tollywood blockbusters have rewritten the rules, proving that language and geography are no barriers when storytelling strikes a universal chord.

Leading the fleet is the magnum opus Kalki 2898 AD, which has etched an astonishing ₹31 crore into the Kerala box office annals. With its futuristic narrative and visual grandeur, the film captured the imagination of audiences across borders. It's not just a movie; it's an experience that transported viewers to an era light-years ahead, making it the undisputed flagbearer of this Tollywood tide.

Close on its heels is the charming entertainer Lucky Bhaskar, raking in ₹21.55 crore. This film's unique blend of humor, heart, and high-octane drama resonated deeply with Kerala audiences, cementing its place as a crowd favorite. Meanwhile, the much-anticipated sequel Pushpa 2 secured ₹17.75 crore, continuing the saga of its rugged hero and enthralling fans with its raw energy and gripping storytelling. Rounding out the list is Devara, a film with a more modest ₹2.15 crore haul but significant nonetheless, proving that every ship, big or small, contributes to Tollywood's conquest of the Kerala box office.

As Tollywood's films keep drawing crowds in Kerala, one thing is certain: storytelling transcends boundaries. And while Kerala's box office might feel a bit like a Tollywood branch office these days, let's not forget Malayalam cinema can always counter with, "Wait till you see our homegrown wonders!" After all, what's cinema without a bit of friendly rivalry and a whole lot of love?
