Recent Telugu Dubbed Malayalam Films Collection Update
The wave of Malayalam cinema continues to make its presence felt in the Telugu states. Over the past year, several Malayalam blockbusters have been released in dubbed versions, finding a good connect with the audience here. While some films managed to perform exceptionally well, others registered moderate to low numbers. Here’s a look at the recent box office collections of Malayalam films dubbed into Telugu:
Premalu – ₹13.5 Cr
The romantic comedy became the highest grosser among recent Malayalam dubbed films, emerging as a youth favorite and creating strong buzz through word-of-mouth.
Manjummel Boys – ₹12.5 Cr
The survival thriller with edge-of-the-seat moments struck a chord with the audience and became a solid success in Telugu states.
Kotha Lokah – ₹7 Cr (7 Days) **
The recently released film is off to a good start with a strong first-week gross, showing potential for further growth in the coming days.
Marco – ₹5.75 Cr
Despite being a mass action drama, the film had a moderate run, with limited appeal compared to the other dubbed hits.
Alappuzha Gymkhana – ₹5 Cr
The sports drama registered decent collections, benefiting from positive word-of-mouth and steady occupancy in urban centers.
Empuraan – ₹2.25 Cr
One of the most anticipated Malayalam sequels had a modest run in Telugu states, with expectations far higher than the final outcome.
Thudarum – ₹0.60 Cr
The emotional drama failed to make a mark and ended its run with very low numbers.
Analysis
Among the recent dubbed releases, Premalu and Manjummel Boys stand out as the biggest success stories, showcasing how Malayalam films with strong content and universal appeal can do wonders in the Telugu market.
Kotha Lokah too seems to be gaining steady momentum. However, titles like Empuraan and Thudarum highlight that star value alone cannot guarantee success without wide relatability for the Telugu audience.
With more Malayalam films lined up for release, it will be interesting to see how this dubbed cinema trend shapes up in the Telugu states in the coming months.
