The Story in Brief
Onam 2026 in Kerala will see three major Malayalam films competing for audiences. Dulquer Salmaan's gangster thriller 'I'm Game' and Prithviraj Sukumaran's action crime film 'Khalifa' release on August 20. Nivin Pauly's romantic comedy-drama 'Bethlehem Kudumba Unit' follows on August 21.
The three films have a combined estimated budget of around Rs 150 crore, according to the Kerala Film Producers' Association. 'Khalifa' features Mohanlal in a cameo. The trio aim to beat last year's Onam season, where 'Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra' and 'Hridayapoorvam' performed well.
The Indian Opinion
The usual narrative pitches this as a fierce showdown between three stars. The real test is whether all three films can sustain screen counts after the opening weekend. Last Onam proved that even with multiple releases, audiences rewarded distinct genres. Watch for which film holds its shows on day four, that will reveal genuine demand, not just star power.
