Alappuzha Gymkhana (2025)

“Alappuzha Gymkhana” is a 2025 Malayalam-language film that blends humor, heart, and sport in a youthful coming-of-age story. Directed by Khalid Rahman, the film tells the story of a group of college hopefuls who, after failing their entrance exams, seek alternative ways to gain admission into college. Their solution comes through an unlikely path — sports quotas, specifically in the sport of boxing.

What begins as a desperate attempt soon turns into a journey of self-discovery, friendship, and resilience. The group stumbles through local district matches with sheer luck and enthusiasm, but as the stakes rise in larger competitions, their unity and commitment are put to the test. The film captures the energy of youth, the complexities of ambition, and the unpredictability of sports.

Starring Naslen as Jojo Johnson, Lukman Avaran as Antony Joshua, and Franco Francis as Shifas Ali, the film features a young and dynamic cast that brings vibrancy to the narrative. Supporting performances from Noila Francy, Ganapathi, Deepak Panikkar, and others add depth and humor to the storyline.
