New Malayalam Movie Ott Release -

The Malayalam film industry (Mollywood) has undergone a paradigm shift in distribution, with OTT (Over-The-Top) platforms now acting as primary release windows alongside—or sometimes in place of—theatrical releases. As of 2026, the "theatrical window" for Malayalam films has shrunk from 6 weeks to an average of 4 weeks, driven by aggressive bidding from platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Sony LIV, and Disney+ Hotstar. This report highlights recent high-profile OTT releases, performance metrics, and emerging patterns.

Major OTT releases now launch with Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi dubs on day one of digital release, expanding the market beyond Kerala’s 3.5 crore Malayalam speakers to a 30+ crore South Indian audience. new malayalam movie ott release
