The
Malayalam
movie
industry
has
had
a
fantastic
journey
in
2021,
with
some
remarkable
films
getting
released
in
both
the
theatres
and
OTT
platforms.
When
it
comes
to
box
office
performances,
Malayalam
movies
set
an
example
for
the
other
fraternities
by
effectively
bringing
back
the
audiences
to
theatres.
As
expected,
Dulquer
Salmaan’s
recently
released
blockbuster
Kurup
has
emerged
as
the
highest-grossing
Malayalam
movie
at
the
Kerala
box
office,
in
2021.
Despite
having
only
50
percent
occupancy
in
the
theatres,
Kurup
succeeded
in
emerging
as
the
highest-grossing
movie
of
both
its
leading
man
Dulquer
Salmaan’s
career,
and
the
box
office
of
2021.

at
the
Kerala
box
office
in
2021.

which
featured

in
the
titular
role,

with
a

However,
while
considering
the
massive
budget
that

has
ended
up
as
a
disaster.

the

made
yet
another
entry
into
this
list

resulted
in
the
great
success
of
the
relatively
small-budget
film.
