“Bethlehem Kudumba Unit” becomes the highest-grossing Malayalam film, reports from multiple outlets say, surpassing previous top performers on the basis of worldwide box-office collection. The film’s worldwide total is described as reaching or exceeding ₹300 crore as it moves ahead of contenders in the same rankings.
According to NDTV and India Today, the film overtakes “Lokah: Chapter 1,” along with other earlier high-grossing Malayalam titles mentioned by outlets, including “L2: Empuraan,” “Manjummel Boys,” and “Drishyam 3.” Both outlets frame the update as a change in the current top spot in Malayalam cinema box-office rankings.
While the core information is consistent—“Bethlehem Kudumba Unit” takes first place after surpassing “Lokah”—the specific wording and emphasis differ slightly. NDTV highlights the ₹300 crore milestone and lists multiple previous films it has beaten, while India Today focuses on the fact that it overtakes “Lokah” to become highest-grossing.
