The trailer for Alappuzha Gymkhana is out, and it promises a fun-filled, heartwarming sports comedy. Directed by Khalid Rahman, the movie follows a group of young men who dream of winning the Kerala State Amateur Boxing Championship — even if they may not be the best at the sport.

Jojo Johnson – A Dreamer With Big Goals

The story centers around Jojo Johnson, played by Naslen K Gafoor. In the trailer, we see Jojo boldly telling his mother, “I can’t say whether I’ll return in an ambulance or as a champion, but wait and watch!” His words sound brave, but his mother’s doubtful look tells us that deep down, even Jojo may not be completely confident.

Still, Jojo’s spirit and excitement make us root for him. He may not be a skilled boxer yet, but he has the passion and determination to try — and that’s what makes him stand out.

A Fight That Starts It All

The trailer begins with a small fight between two groups of youngsters. But during the scuffle, one of them throws a surprising punch — and it turns out he’s a natural boxer. This moment sparks a challenge between the two groups. Jojo and his friends, inspired (and maybe a bit jealous), decide they want to try boxing too.

That’s when the real journey begins.

Learning the Hard Way

Once Jojo and his gang step into the world of boxing, they realize it’s much tougher than it looks. The punches are real, the training is intense, and they have a long way to go. But they don’t give up easily. They find a coach — Antony Joshua, a former national boxing champion, played by Lukman Avaran. With his guidance, the boys start working hard to improve.

Even though they are seen as underdogs and laughed at by others, Jojo and his team keep going. They may not have the talent yet, but they have the heart — and maybe that’s enough.

More Than Just Boxing

The trailer also gives us a glimpse into Jojo’s personal life. We see a hint of romance, some emotional moments, and the everyday struggles he faces. It’s not just about boxing — it’s about growing up, finding purpose, and proving people wrong.

One line in the trailer sums it up well: “They aren’t good enough.” That’s what people think about Jojo and his friends. But what if they surprise everyone?

A Promising Film With a Strong Cast

Along with Naslen, the movie features Ganapathi, Sandeep Pradeep, Anagha Ravi, and Kottayam Nazeer. The music is by Vishnu Vijay, cinematography by Jimshi Khalid, and editing by Nishadh Yusuf. Director Khalid Rahman, known for Unda and Thallumaala, seems to have another exciting film on his hands.
