Alappuzha Gymkhana OTT Release: Not Hotstar Or Amazon, Naslen's Film To Be Out On This Plaform On This Date

Malayalam cinema's golden boy Naslen is on a roll! After winning over audiences earlier this year with Premalu, the young actor has done it again with Alappuzha Gymkhana, the underdog sports drama that quietly turned into one of 2025's biggest box-office surprises.

What started as a modest release quickly gained steam, thanks to strong word-of-mouth and packed shows. The film, directed by Khalid Rahman, has been raking in the numbers week after week, crossing ₹42 crore and still counting-making it one of Mollywood's most profitable hits this year.

At its heart, Alappuzha Gymkhana isn't your typical boxing drama. It follows a 19-year-old (played by Naslen) who steps into the ring not for glory, but for something far more relatable-grace marks.

Packed with humor, emotional punches, and a fresh-faced cast (including Lukman Avaran, Anagha Ravi, and the adorable Baby Jean), the film struck a chord with audiences. Add in Vishnu Vijay's catchy soundtrack and Jimshi Khalid's slick visuals, and it's no wonder the film kept drawing crowds long after its release.

Now, after a triumphant theatrical run, the film is gearing up for its digital debut. While the exact date hasn't been officially announced yet, insiders confirm it's just around the corner. Rumors had been swirling about which streaming giant would bag the rights-with names like Amazon Prime and JioCinema in the mix-but the final decision seems to have been made.

Fans outside Kerala (and those who missed it in cinemas) have been eagerly waiting to stream it, but the team's held off to maximize the theatrical buzz. One thing's for sure-when it finally drops online, expect a fresh wave of memes, fan edits, and even more love for Naslen's charming performance.

Meanwhile, Mohanlal's hit movie Thudarum has made its digital debut on Friday. Jio Hotstar has acquired the OTT rights of the Malayalam flick which is released in Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada languages as well.
