In 2025, Aashirvad Cinemas remains a powerhouse in Malayalam cinema, producing big‑budget blockbusters and distributing via its arm Maxlab. Friday Film House, under Vijay Babu, continues to be influential—its ventures span production, distribution, digital content and music, and it regularly launches new talent. Galaxy Films, based in Thrissur, holds steady with popular star‑led films and consistent box office successes. Alongside these, newer houses like August Cinema and Anto Joseph Film Company are gaining ground through quality storytelling and smart commercial choices.
