RDX was an anomaly on all fronts. The genre was atypical for Malayalam movies; the controversies from the beginning of the shooting and the unconventional release sans jamboree. RDX was never the favorite to win the Onam 2023 in Malayalam cinema, as the theatres were waiting in garlands to welcome 'KOK' featuring Dulquer Salman and Rajinikanth's superhit 'Jailer'. However, this movie featuring three youngsters did the unthinkable by overcoming Jailer in Kerala and completely wiping out KOK from the screens.

According to one report, RDX is all set to cross the Rs 70 crore mark by this weekend. Even many from the cinematic milieu across India have heaped praise on the stellar making of RDX as the movie has struck a chord even among movie aficionados across the country. RDX was made for just Rs 8 crore but has now grossed more than Rs 70 crore in one astounding run at the box office. The actors and the team involved are still in awe over the majestic run. It seems like people have acclimatized to any such genre change and RDX's victory is one such hope that should pump the spirit of more filmmakers in Kerala.
