Bethlehem Kudumba Unit is now within striking distance of a historic box office landmark in Kerala. The Nivin Pauly and Mamitha Baiju starrer has grossed Rs 126 crore in 20 days in the state, putting it on course to overtake the current benchmark and emerge as Kerala’s highest-grossing film. For a film that arrived with strong Onam buzz, this is now looking like a full-blown theatrical phenomenon.
Bethlehem Kudumba Unit Nears Kerala Box Office Crown
The latest run of Bethlehem Kudumba Unit has turned its steady momentum into a major record chase. After 20 days in theatres, the film’s Kerala gross stands at Rs 126 crore, leaving it just short of the all-time state record. With its hold still intact in its third week, the Nivin Pauly and Mamitha Baiju film is now set to become the highest-grossing film ever in Kerala.
What makes the run even more notable is the consistency. Instead of peaking early and slowing down, the film has sustained strong family turnout through the festive corridor and beyond. That staying power has pushed it past the lifetime Kerala totals of most recent big earners and into rare territory reserved for all-time local blockbusters.

In the past few years, his notable releases have also included the OTT film Kanakam Kaamini Kalaham in 2021 and theatrical titles such as Padavettu and Mahaveeryar in 2022.
Looking ahead, Nivin Pauly has a packed slate. His confirmed upcoming projects include Dear Students, which is in post-production, and Action Hero Biju 2, which is listed in pre-production. That makes the success of Bethlehem Kudumba Unit especially significant, as it repositions him right at the center of the Malayalam theatrical conversation.
Mamitha Baiju’s Recent And Upcoming Work
Mamitha Baiju has also been building remarkable momentum, and Bethlehem Kudumba Unit further strengthens that run. Her recent releases include Pranaya Vilasam in 2023 and the Tamil film Rebel in 2024. In 2026, she has also been associated with high-visibility titles including Jana Nayagan and Vishwanath and Sons.
Her upcoming lineup remains strong as well. Irandu Vaanam is listed as completed, while another untitled project with Sangeeth Prathap is in progress. With Bethlehem Kudumba Unit now marching toward the Kerala all-time record, Mamitha’s rise as one of the most in-demand young performers in South cinema looks even more firmly established.
