The first week of July is officially here, and heavy monsoon rains are pouring continuously all over Kerala. Usually, during this gloomy rainy season, theaters rely heavily on major Malayalam superstar movies to bring the audience safely out of their homes. But this Friday is very different! There are absolutely no major Malayalam releases from big stars. So, how are the local theaters going to survive this heavy rain? The answer lies in a great mix of small, content-driven regional movies and massive blockbuster releases from other languages.
This weekend (July 2-3, 2026), exactly 10 new movies are hitting the screens in Kerala. The language breakdown is as follows: 5 Malayalam movies (including one dubbed film), 1 Tamil movie, 2 Hindi movies, and 2 English movies.
💡 Did You Know? (Box Office Trivia)
- First Female-Led Spy Film: The Bollywood release Alpha is a massive milestone! It is the very first female-led movie in the famous YRF Spy Universe (which includes blockbusters like Pathaan, War, and Tiger). Alia Bhatt and Sharvari are leading the heavy action this time!
- A Dark Robin Hood: In Hollywood’s The Death of Robin Hood, you won’t see the usual fun, heroic outlaw. Hugh Jackman plays a much older, darker, and deeply regretful version of the legendary character, directed by Michael Sarnoski (who recently directed A Quiet Place: Day One).
