Best Malayalam Movies That Were Flopped At The Box Office 2023

Tinu Pappachan is a director whose films are always looked forward to. However, his latest release didn't resonate with the audience as strongly as his previous works. This movie signifies Pappachan's third collaboration with Antony Varghese. Even with limited screen time, Varghese's character significantly influences the overarching story. Boban's performance in the film is notably praiseworthy.

Mammootty, starring in the lead role of the film 'Christopher,' faced a significant setback at the box office, marking one of the year's biggest flops. Directed by B. Unnikrishnan, the movie delves into the narrative of a vigilante cop who operates outside the bounds of the law in a system rife with corruption. Disappointingly, the film garnered only 10 crores in global box office earnings.

Mohanlal's 'Alone,' released in 2023, emerged as a significant letdown, placing it among the year's most disastrous films. Critics pointed out the film's storyline as deficient in the necessary elements to captivate the audience.

King Of Kotha one of the most anticipated movies of 2023, turned out to be one of the biggest stumbles of the year. Directed by Abhilash Tommy, the film struggled to capture the audience's interest due to its poorly crafted dialogues.

The film directed by veteran film maker Priyadarshan and  released theatrically On April 6, 2023. Shane Nigam who essayed a cops role in the movie 'Corona Papers,  is an official Malayalam remake of the hit Tamil film, 8 Thottakkal, directed by Sri Ganesh. The film struggled significantly in terms of its box office performance and failing to meet the expected revenue targets.

Starring Malavika Mohanan and Mathew Thomas, Christy was widely promoted, but its box office collections were quite disappointing. Considered as Malavika Menon's biggest flop till date, the movie received lacklustre reviews and unsavoury audience feedback.

The total box office collection for 'Ramachandra Boss & Co.' stands at Rs 4.55 crores, which is disheartening. This comes despite expectations that the film would mark Nivin Pauly's significant comeback following a string of unsuccessful movies.

The movie lacked a plot and with an aim to be both a historical drama and romantic flick, it failed to be either. It received a unanimous negative response from audiences, critics, and box office figures alike.

Ayisha is a women-centric drama helmed by debut director Aamir Pallikkal, starred Manju Warrier in the lead role. Despite high audience anticipation, 'Ayisha' garnered mostly mediocre reviews and fell short commercially, turning into a box office disappointment.

The collaboration between Tovino Thomas and Aashiq Abu has consistently intrigued audiences. However, this time around, they fell short of impressing the audience.
