Marking the return of director Aashiq Abu, Rifle Club comes after his previous films, Neelavelicham and Naradhan, which underperformed at the box office. Released in theaters on December 19, the movie received widespread acclaim and grossed an impressive ₹27 crore worldwide within just 20 days.
Rifle Club also stands out as the Malayalam acting debut of Bollywood filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, who portrays a gang leader in the film. Adding to the excitement, popular rapper Hanumankind makes his acting debut, with his song “Killer on the Loose” becoming a viral hit. The film’s soundtrack, composed by Rex Vijayan, has been well-received by audiences.
Critics have praised Rifle Club for its stunning visuals and engaging narrative. ETimes rated it 3.5 out of 5, highlighting the breathtaking cinematography that captures the grandeur of the Western Ghats and the vibrant scenes at the titular club. Edited masterfully by V Sajan, particularly during the hunting sequences, the film offers a vivid and memorable viewing experience.

Veteran actors like Suresh Krishna and Ponnamma Babu bring charm and humor to the screen, while Hanumankind delivers an electrifying performance with his Kill Bill-style energy. However, Anurag Kashyap’s portrayal of the ruthless Dayanand received mixed reviews, as some critics felt his character lacked the necessary intensity.
