Malayalam OTT Releases This Week – Every week, Malayalam films bring us fresh stories and feelings to savor. This August, major streaming sites such as ZEE5, Manorama Max, Saina Play, and Amazon Prime Video are dishing out a spate of fresh Malayalam films and web shows. Whether you are a fan of family drama, crime thrillers or courtroom tales of real life, there’s something for everyone.
Let’s have a look at what’s fresh this week and why these films stand out.
Top Malayalam OTT Releases This Week
1. Janaki V v/s State of Kerala (JSK)
- Platform: ZEE5 (from August 15, 2025)
- Cast: Suresh Gopi, Anupama Parameswaran
- Genre: Legal Drama / Inspired by True Story
Janaki V v/s State of Kerala is at the center of this week’s news. The film was in the news because of its plot and pre-release controversy. The film is about Janaki, an assault victim struggling for justice in court, and how she confronts a dominating lawyer David (played by Suresh Gopi).
This movie illustrates us the struggle of a survivor fighting for justice as she finds out that she is pregnant. With great lead acting, tear-jerking scenes, and suspenseful courtroom action, the film hopes to highlight the strengths and frailties of our justice system.
The film had a rough ride to release—initially it had to be re-titled because of protests, then deal with legal problems. But now, at last, it is available on ZEE5, with the choice to watch in Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil, or Telugu. Debates apart, JSK is ideal for audiences who enjoy stories inspired by actual issues.
2. Vysanasametham Bandhumithradhikal
- Platform: Manorama Max (from August 14, 2025)
- Genre: Comedy / Family Drama
This is a comedy with heart! The tale revolves around a large family reunion for a funeral. What sounds somber is filled with tricks, goofy relatives, and witty jokes. When the relatives come together, secrets come out, old times resurface, and love conquers all the chaos. Ideal for audiences who seek an effortless, pleasant film with some giggles and tears.
3. Nadikar
- Platform: Saina Play (Now Streaming)
- Genre: Celebrity Drama
Here’s another recent release based on the wild life of a celebrity. Nadikar is all about stardom, identity, and the pressures one faces with fame. It’s decent for people who enjoy gossip, glamour, and some contemplative moments.
