Mohanlal has once again proven his box office dominance with his latest blockbuster Thudarum, which has now officially become the highest-grossing Malayalam film in Kerala, overtaking the record previously held by L2: Empuraan.
As of May 10, 2025, Thudarum has grossed an impressive ₹83 crore in Kerala, surpassing Empuraan‘s local collection of ₹86.35 crore. This feat is even more remarkable considering both films feature Mohanlal in the lead, highlighting his unmatched popularity in Malayalam cinema.
Directed by Tharun Moorthy and produced by M Renjith under the banner of Rejaputhra Visual Media, Thudarum has earned widespread praise from both critics and audiences, helping drive its box office success.
While Empuraan continues to reign globally with a worldwide gross of ₹268.05 crore, Thudarum‘s record-breaking performance in Kerala underscores its strong regional impact.
With this achievement, Mohanlal has made history by becoming the first Malayalam actor to deliver two ₹100 crore+ films in a single year, setting a new benchmark in the industry.
