Alappuzha Gymkhana

"From the very first scene, Rahman makes it clear what he aims to do with Alappuzha Gymkhana and he nails the tone at the outset itself, brilliantly maintaining it until the very end. It's moments like these that give this Khalid Rahman directorial a sense of freshness."

"Alappuzha Gymkhana is no underdog story with a grand climax that makes you emotional. It's funny, light-hearted, and relies on the small moments to engage the audience. Still, it's a film that has enough in it to entertain — whether you're a young Malayali viewer, a non-Malayali following Mollywood, or just someone looking for a breezy watch with family."

"Alappuzha Gymkhana tells a heartfelt story about friendship, ambition, and resilience, grounding the humour in its sports world structure. With spirited performances and a strong sense of place, it lingers quietly in the mind."
