Khalid Rahman’s Alappuzha Gymkhana isn’t your regular sports drama where the underdog rises to victory after a humiliating defeat. Instead, it follows a group of teenagers who take up boxing—not for passion, but to take advantage of the sports quota and gain admission into a college after failing their Class 12 exams.

Set in the backdrop of Alappuzha, Kerala, the film takes us through the journey of 17-year-olds trying to figure out life. It's also a sort of origin story for the Alappuzha Gymkhana itself. After facing defeat and running away from the State Amateur Boxing Championships, the group decides to return to the ring with renewed focus.
