Rifle Club is a 2024 Malayalam-language action comedy directed by Aashiq Abu. Set in 1991, the film follows a Mangalore-based gangster, Dayanand Bhare (Anurag Kashyap), whose son Bichu is killed during a confrontation with a dancer, Nadiya, and her partner, Ali. Fleeing for their lives, Ali and Nadiya seek refuge at a rifle club in Sulthan Bathery, led by Kuzhiveli Lonappan and secretary Avaran. The club, known for its skilled hunters, becomes the battleground when Dayanand and his men launch an attack seeking vengeance.
The club members, including a film star named Shajahan training for a hunter role, band together to defend their sanctuary, leading to a series of confrontations that blend action and humor. The film received widespread critical acclaim for its entertainment value and direction, though some critics felt the writing could have been stronger. It was a commercial success, grossing ₹30 crore against a ₹10 crore budget.
