Highest Grossing Malayalam Movies Of 2021: Kurup, Marakkar & Other Films That Ruled Kerala Box Office

The Malayalam movie industry has had a fantastic journey in 2021, with some remarkable films getting released in both the theatres and OTT platforms. When it comes to box office performances, Malayalam movies set an example for the other fraternities by effectively bringing back the audiences to theatres.

As expected, Dulquer Salmaan's recently released blockbuster Kurup has emerged as the highest-grossing Malayalam movie at the Kerala box office, in 2021. Despite having only 50 percent occupancy in the theatres, Kurup succeeded in emerging as the highest-grossing movie of both its leading man Dulquer Salmaan's career, and the box office of 2021.
