The Kerala box office saw a slow start in early 2026, with only a few modest successes like Prakambanam. The momentum shifted with Aadu 3 bringing audiences back to theatres, while Vaazha II turned out to be a blockbuster. With big releases like Drishyam 3 and Patriot postponed to May, smaller films such as Vaazha 3, Madhuvidhu, and Mohiniyattam have a strong opportunity for longer theatrical runs. Here is the updated list of Malayalam movies and their box office verdict in 2026.
