Interesting thrillers, emotional movies, and quirky comedies are of the different types of streaming platforms that are guaranteeing that viewers can never go without good content. We have a full guide of the new Malayalam OTT releases between September 1 and 7, to put it on your binge list.
Flask – ManoramaMAX (September 4)
To start the week Flask will be released on September 4 on the ManoramaMAX. Although information regarding the plot is strongly under wraps, the title of the story alone has brought about some speculation.
Intimate, thought-provoking movies that seem to be embedded in real-life situations are not new to Malayalam cinema. Flask appears to carry on the same tradition-probably spinning together relationships, feelings and quiet moments of passion. Gradually ManoramaMAX has been able to develop a reputation of streaming movies that not only entertain the people but also connect with them on a deeper level.
Thus, though the makers have opted not to mention the plot, the performances are expected to be strong and the story will stay in the mind. Imagine Flask is that unintentional punch-you go into without knowing much but you come out with a nice surprise.
Raveendra Nee Evide? – SainaPlay (September 5)
On September 5, SainaPlay will stream a cool comedy-drama to its collection with Raveendra Nee Evide? The title suggests confusion, absence and possibly even a pursuit of the character Raveendra.
It is based on the story of a retired scientist, leading a life that is quiet, whose life is disrupted when a strange, new neighbor arrives next door. What starts as little irritation quickly turns into a litany of misunderstandings, comic misfortunes, even an air of mystery. The film stars Anoop Menon and Dhyan Sreenivasan and it is a good movie to watch with friends who appreciate light comedies with some elements of mystery.
SainaPlay has slowly been incorporating a lot more Malayalam content and Raveendra Nee Evide? seems to be the perfect family weekend watch, something light but not boring.
Kammattam – ZEE5 (September 5)
By far the most hyped release this week is the crime thriller Kammattam, which releases on ZEE5 on September 5. The show stars Sudev Nair as Inspector Antonio George, an angry but down-to-earth police detective investigating what at first seems like a typical hit-and-run case.
However, the investigation inevitably uncovers it layer after layer, to find itself in the depths of corruption, financial fraud and crime that was related to real-life events that previously shaken Thrissur.
What stands out is not only the plot of Kammattam, but also the ambitious production. It required only 11 days in 40 locations to complete the entire series, an extraordinary feat that says much about how the team planned and committed itself to the task. The show, which is directed by Shan Thulasidharan, has a storyline with realistic police procedural elements.
Critics call it a decent one-time watch, and especially praise Sudev Nair. Although certain reviews may argue that the cinematography could have been better. However, there is no disputing the fact that Kammattam is a milestone in Malayalam OTT is going to be one of ZEE5 largest original bets in the area. Kammattam must be at the top of your list this week, should you love a good crime thriller that is based on real-life events.
Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra – Netflix (Released Later in September)
It is not included in the September 1-7 lineup, but one could not mention Malayalam OTT without referring to the much-hyped Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra, expected to stream on Netflix by the end of the month.
As a Malayalam film, it became the first such movie to explore the superhero genre directed by Dominic Arun and produced by Dulquer Salmaan. The role of Chandra is played by Kalyani Priyadarshan who leads the story of a young woman who learns new supernatural abilities to deal with corruption, social ills and personal challenges.
The film will surely be eye-catching in addition to being socio-political incisive which is something unique to Malayalam cinema. It will have a little longer wait than this week, but the buzz surrounding Lokah suggests it will be one of the most notable releases of 2025.
