“Alappuzha Gymkhana,” a Malayalam sports dramedy, was released on April 10, 2025, and is now streaming on SonyLIV as of June 13, 2025.

The story revolves around Jojo Johnson (Naslen) and his four inseparable friends – DJ, Valthu, Cherthu, and Shanavas – who have just finished their 12th-grade exams. With most of them having flunked, their future prospects seem dim. In a desperate attempt to secure college admission through the sports quota, Jojo convinces his reluctant gang to try boxing. They join the local Alappuzha Gymkhana boxing school, initially under coach Salim, and later under the stricter guidance of Antony Joshua (Lukman Avaran), a state-level boxer.
What starts as a shortcut for grace marks quickly transforms into a journey of unexpected challenges, personal growth, and tested friendships. The film doesn’t follow a conventional underdog narrative; instead, it focuses on the raw, often clumsy, and very relatable experiences of these amateur boxers. They face various physical and mental hurdles, navigate quirky relationships, and deal with the realities of competition, sometimes winning, often losing, but always learning. “Alappuzha Gymkhana” is praised for its authentic portrayal of youth, its witty humor, and its ability to explore themes of ambition, resilience, and self-discovery without resorting to typical sports drama clichés.
