Released during Onam 2023, RDX was a gangster revenge drama that abandoned subtlety for sheer spectacle. The plot is simple: Three martial artists (Robert, Dony, and Xavier) are brutally attacked by a rival gang. They heal, train, and go back for revenge.

While technically a thriller, Garudan contains enough explosive moments to qualify for the 5go list. Veteran actor Suresh Gopi returned as a no-nonsense cop who goes on a rampage to find a missing boy.

Before Thallumaala popularized the term, Ajagajantharam (meaning "the elephant's fury") was the raw prototype. Set during a single night at a temple festival, the film follows a group of locals who clash with a pack of rowdies.

Whether it is the chaotic brawls of Thallumaala , the martial arts mastery of RDX , or the veteran rage of Garudan , 5go movies have given Malayalam cinema a new identity. They are loud, they are violent, and they are incredibly fun.

This film is a controversial entry. King of Kotha received mixed reviews from critics, calling it "style over substance." However, in the 5go universe, style is the substance. DQ plays a gangster in a fictional town, and the film is packed with slow-mo walks, cigarette flicks, and massive set pieces.
