Following the success of the Malayalam film 2018, some Mollywood movies that were due to release in May were pushed to a June release.

The Malayalam film industry heaved a sigh of relief with 2018 becoming a massive success. It became the first Malayalam movie to cross ₹150 crore at the box office.

However, films that were released after 2018 have found it difficult to draw audiences to the theatre, with films like Neymar (2023), Live (2023), and Thrishanku (2023) being exceptions with moderate business. List of Malayalam films scheduled for June:

Nalla Nilavulla Rathri

Ajay David Kachappilly is the cinematographer and Shyam Sasidharan is the editor.

The music has been composed by Kailas and the sound design has been done by Vishnu Govind. 

The makers recently released a song — “Thaanaro Thannaro” — from the movie which became an instant hit and is on top of the playlist.

Produced by Sandra Thomas, Nalla Nilavulla Rathri will be released in the second week of June.
