Malayalam cinema's streaming story in 2026 has been defined by content quality consistently outperforming production budgets. The mid-June OTT picture continues that pattern. Drishyam 2, Manjummel Boys, Kumbalangi Nights, and Minnal Murali are all available now — some of the best writing in Indian cinema, across multiple platforms.
SonyLIV Malayalam: June Mid-Month
SonyLIV's Malayalam slate is anchored by Bheeshma Parvam, Kaduva, and Ayyappanum Koshiyum. Ayyappanum Koshiyum in particular is a film that gets better on rewatch — the Biju Menon and Prithviraj confrontation is built on genuine character logic, not cheap drama. Nna Thaan Case Kodu rounds out SonyLIV's Malayalam mid-month with sharp, funny courtroom writing.
Prime Video and Netflix: Completing the Picture
Prime Video holds Drishyam and Drishyam 2, Joji, Malik, Kumbalangi Nights, Trance, Jallikattu, and Manjummel Boys — the strongest single-platform Malayalam catalog in the market. Netflix Malayalam has Minnal Murali, 2018, and C U Soon. If you want to understand the Malayalam new wave in one sitting, start with Kumbalangi Nights on Prime and finish with Minnal Murali on Netflix.
Drishyam 2
Six years after the original. Georgekutty's secret is unravelling again. A rare sequel that earns every minute of its runtime.
Prime Video
Kumbalangi Nights
Four brothers, a house that barely holds together, and a villain who is the mirror image of what they could become. Syam Pushkaran's finest script.
Prime Video
Minnal Murali
Tovino Thomas as Kerala's accidental superhero. The villain is a man who just wanted something better for his family. Netflix's best Malayalam investment.
Netflix
Joji
Fahadh Faasil's Macbeth in a Kerala rubber plantation. Slow-burn, precise, devastating.
Prime Video
Bheeshma Parvam
Mammootty commanding the screen as a Kochi family patriarch. Old-school mass cinema done right. SonyLIV exclusive.
SonyLIV
Kaduva
Prithviraj Sukumaran locked in a battle of wills with a corrupt police officer. Pure conflict. SonyLIV.
SonyLIV
Ayyappanum Koshiyum
Biju Menon and Prithviraj. Police officer versus retired soldier. The conflict film that redefined Mollywood's action register.
SonyLIV
Malik
Fahadh Faasil across decades as a minority community leader. Big in scope, careful in execution. Prime Video original.
Prime Video
Manjummel Boys
The cave rescue that crossed every language. No stars, pure tension, real events. 2024's most talked-about Malayalam film.
Prime Video
2018
The Kerala floods disaster film. Real tragedy rendered as cinema without exploitation. Ensemble cast, enormous emotional weight.
Netflix
The Great Indian Kitchen
The film that changed how Malayali audiences talk about domesticity on screen. Jeo Baby's direction is clinical and devastating.
Neestream
Drishyam
The original Georgekutty thriller. A cable TV operator who read too many crime novels. Still holds up completely.
Prime Video
Trance
Fahadh Faasil as a motivational speaker who becomes a cult figure. Visually ambitious and unlike anything else in Mollywood.
Prime Video
Jallikattu
Lijo Jose Pellissery at full intensity. A buffalo escapes. An entire village loses its mind. Feral and formally brilliant.
Prime Video
Nna Thaan Case Kodu
Kunchacko Boban in Mollywood's funniest courtroom comedy. A minor accident becomes a major legal circus.
SonyLIV
C U Soon
Shot entirely on screens during lockdown. Fahadh Faasil and Roshan Mathew in a tech-enabled thriller about a missing woman.
