Written and directed by Akhil Paul and Anas Khan, the Mollywood action thriller was released yesterday (January 2, 2025). It has opened to mostly favorable reviews from critics, and even among the ticket-buying audience, it is enjoying decent word-of-mouth so far. This positivity will definitely help the film to grow over the weekend, but as far as the opening is concerned, the film has set the stage for itself to move in the right direction.
As per Sacnilk, Identity registered a score of 1.80 crore net at the Indian box office on day 1. Out of this, 1.65 crores came from the original Malayalam version, and 15 lakh came from the Tamil-dubbed version.

The number doesn’t look big, but considering the controlled cost of below 20 crores, Identity could emerge as Mollywood’s first clean hit at the Indian box office in 2025. It is expected to show a significant jump today and tomorrow. However, it’ll face stiff competition from Marco, which is enjoying extraordinary word-of-mouth.
Meanwhile, the film stars Tovino Thomas, Trisha, and Vinay Rai in key roles. It is bankrolled by Raju Malliath and Roy CJ. The music is composed by Jakes Bejoy. The film is distributed by Sree Gokulam Movies.
