Alappuzha Gymkhana's plot overview
In Alappuzha Gymkhana, Jojo Johnson and his group of carefree college friends decide to take up boxing, not out of passion, but to exploit the sports quota for college admissions. They join a rundown gym in Alappuzha and begin training under Antony Joshua, a once-celebrated boxer turned strict coach. Initially treating it as a joke, the boys struggle with the discipline and intensity required.
As training continues, what started as a shortcut becomes a transformative experience. Jojo, in particular, begins to take boxing seriously, influenced by Joshua's tough mentorship. The group's bond deepens, and each member starts confronting personal insecurities. Instead of chasing medals, they discover meaning, friendship, and self-worth through the sport.
Alappuzha Gymkhana's review
The Times of India rated the movie 3.5 out of 5 and a part of their review read, 'Khalid Rahman, known for the vibrant chaos of Thallumaala, this time trades in the colourful spectacle for a more grounded narrative, a coming-of-age tale wrapped in sweat, struggle, and the salt-soaked air of Alappuzha. Technically, the film is a treat. Alappuzha Jimkhana may not offer the highs of Thallumaala, nor does it aim to. More than a sports drama, it's a ringside seat to youth, chaos, and coming of age. Messy, minimal, but meaningful.'

Jennifer Lopez pays tribute to classic Hollywood musicals in Kiss Of A Spider Woman. Watch trailer
Jennifer Lopez is coming back to the silver screen with the movie Kiss of the Spider Woman, which is a musical, something that brings together two of the things she is most passionate about: singing and acting. Director Bill Condon and the producers seem to be cashing in on the success of Wicked last year, which earned over Rs 400 crore worldwide and have already released the trailer for the sequel. The trailer opens up by focusing on Ingrid Luna's (Jennifer) lavish Hollywood lifestyle and two of her admirers talking about her musical Kiss Of A Spider Woman. The film is based on the stage musical of the same name by Terrence McNally, John Kander and Fred Ebb. At the centre of it are two characters stuck in an Argentinian prison, who slowly form an intimate bond. The two men, Valentin and Luis, are played by Diego Luna and Tonatiuh, respectively. ALSO READ: Priyanka Chopra tries to keep Idris Elba, John Cena alive in final trailer for Heads of State. Watch Luis is in love with stories and movies, while Valentin is indifferent to the art form. Ingrid is seen performing different musical numbers as the two men fantasise about being a part of her life, or more precisely a part of the musical. Valentin can later be seen settling well into his revolutionary ideals, as he evolves into a beacon of anti-establishment now armed with movies and storytelling. The film keeps going back and forth between the glamour of the musical and the true lives of the men, which are grim beyond repair. Luis gains freedom like in the original story and joins the revolution started by Valentin and is seen getting in trouble, which will likely be the end for him just like in the novel. Helmed by Academy Award winner Bill Cordon, the cast of the film also includes Josefina Scaglione and Tony Dovolani.
