Manjummel Boys (2024)
This was the first Malayalam film to earn more than ₹200 crore. Tamil Nadu contributed almost a quarter of those revenues. This could be because the film is mainly set in Tamil Nadu, because in the film after a while more characters speak Tamil than Malayalam and also because the starting point of the film is a 1991 Tamil cult film Gunaa with composer Ilaiyaraaja’s famous song ‘Kanmani Anbodu’

Christian Brothers

The films mentioned below have been listed in the descending order of their box office collections as reported by SansCinema. At some places SansCinema labels a film as a 'flop' even though films that earned less money than they have been listed as hits. This probably means that they were unsuccessful in relation to their budget.

Conversely, some films labelled as Super Hits, though films that earned more money were mere Hits. Obviously, once again the success was relative tio the budget.

All such counter-intuitive films have been labelled accordingly.

The films mentioned below have been listed in the descending order of their box office collections as reported by BoxOfficeVerdicts. At some places BoxOfficeVerdicts labels a film as a 'flop' or 'below average' even though films that earned less money than they have been listed as hits. This probably means that they were unsuccessful in relation to their budget.

Conversely, Second Show is said to be a Hit, whereas films that earned more have been shown as less successful. Once again perhaps such judgements are born from comparisons with the film's budget.
