A good watchlist needs range, and the Malayalam OTT releases this week deliver it, with a supernatural comedy thriller, a cafe-startup comedy, a missing-person mystery, a Tamil crime drama and two more thrillers all landing within days of each other. From October 12 to 18, six titles arrive across ManoramaMAX, JioHotstar, Sun NXT, SonyLIV, ZEE5 and Saina Play: It's a Medical Miracle, Kappi Squad, DC, Aasha, Adinaasam Vellapokkam and Oru Anweshanathinte Thudakkam. The first two premiere on October 15 and the other four on October 16, so the weekend is well covered. Here is what each one is about and where to stream it.
