Malayalam cinema is a part of Indian cinema, based in Kerala and dedicated to the production of films in the Malayalam-language. This ranking lists the highest-grossing Malayalam films produced by Malayalam cinema, based on conservative global box office estimates as reported by organizations classified as green by Wikipedia.[a] The figures are not adjusted for inflation. However, there is no official tracking of figures, and sources publishing data are frequently pressured to increase their estimates.
