Several excellent films were released at the start of 2024, including Aattam, which was critically acclaimed for both its thought-provoking story and performances but did not do well commercially at the box office. A significant shift was brought about by the release of Premalu, the Naslen-Mamitha Baiju rom com that became the first Rs 100 crore movie of 2024.

Bramayugam, starring Mammootty and which became an instant hit, came next. The following film, Manjummel Boys, became the highest grossing Malayalam film ever released and got into the Rs 200 crore club. It was succeeded by the commercially successful film Aavesham, starring Fahadh Faasil.
