lokah This week, Malayalam cinema fans have plenty to stream at home as several recent films drop on major platforms. The big one is Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra, a female-led superhero film starring Kalyani Priyadarshan, which after a landmark theatrical run is now making its way to digital.
Joining it are titles like Aabhyanthara Kuttavaali, a hard-hitting relationship drama about a man accused of domestic abuse in a marriage gone wrong, and Mirage, a taut thriller with twists and turns centred around a death, secrets and a cover-up.
These releases span across OTT platforms such as JioHotstar, SonyLIV, and others — giving viewers a range of genre-styles: from fantasy and superhero spectacle, to socially-relevant drama and noir-style suspense.
For those who missed the theatre runs, it’s the right time to catch up — especially since the production values and star power behind these projects are strong. In particular, Lokah’s crossover appeal promises to bring the Malayalam film-universe to a wider home-audience.
