The weekend may still be a few days away, but there is already enough arriving on streaming to start planning your watchlist. The Malayalam OTT releases this week (Sep 14-20) bring together Vismaya Mohanlal's action thriller Thudakkam, Ravi Teja's Irumudi, along with Idi Mazha Kattu and Modha Rathri. With different genres and stories in the mix, this week's Malayalam releases offer something for different moods. Here are the titles worth keeping an eye on.
Vismaya Mohanlal makes her lead debut in Thudakkam, a martial arts thriller directed by Jude Anthany Joseph. The story follows Meenu, a young woman whose ordinary life takes a dangerous turn after she becomes the target of a mysterious stranger. As the tension escalates and she disappears, her family begins searching for answers. Her martial arts training eventually becomes central to her fight for survival. The film also features a special appearance by Mohanlal and will stream in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi.
Idi Mazha Kattu takes a lighter route, mixing comedy with a thriller setup. Chemban Vinod, Sreenath Bhasi and Senthil Krishna feature in Ambili S. Rengan's film, which follows Sougada, a migrant worker from West Bengal who comes to Kerala for work. After losing her belongings, she crosses paths with four very different men, setting off an unlikely journey shaped by humour, migration and companionship. The film is scheduled to stream on Saina Play from September 18.
Irumudi brings Ravi Teja to this week's Malayalam streaming line-up through its dubbed version. Directed by Shiva Nirvana, the action drama centres on a father searching for his missing daughter after she uncovers disturbing information involving schoolgirls. The film has already had a strong theatrical run, and Netflix has confirmed its September 18 digital release in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam.
Modha Rathri is an arranged-marriage comedy drama that follows Maruthu and Muthuselvi, two strangers brought together by family pressure and traditional expectations. Maruthu has returned from Dubai after six years, while Muthuselvi enters the marriage while quietly dealing with heartbreak of her own. As the two navigate their unexpected new life together, the film mixes relationship drama with lighter moments and the complications that come with an arranged match.
