In recent years, Malayalam cinema has experienced a resurgence, with films like "Take Off" (2017), "Sudani from Nigeria" (2018), and "Angamaly Diaries" (2017) receiving critical acclaim and commercial success. The industry has also seen a rise in new talent, with filmmakers like Lijo Jose Pellissery, Adoor Prakash, and Sanu John Varghese making a mark.
According to a 2023 report by the Kerala Film Chamber of Commerce, the Malayalam film industry loses an estimated ₹150-200 crore annually to piracy. For a YogiCom production costing ₹20-30 crore, a piracy leak can reduce the theatrical run from 4 weeks to 1 week.
