Time of India17-06-2025
Azadi OTT Release Date: Sreenath Bhasi and Vani Viswanath's latest Malayalam outing is finally ready to make its digital debut. Released globally on May 23 this year, the film earned about Rs 7 lakh at the box office. With such a miserable fate in theatres, the thriller is set to live a second life on OTT. Azadi will be streaming on ManoramaMAX starting June 27, 2025.
Azadi's cast and crew
Other than the lead duo, Azadi also stars Lal, Vani Viswanath, Saiju Kurup, Vijayakumar, Maala Parvathi, Gilu Joseph, Abhiram Radhakrishnan, T. G. Ravi and Rajesh Sharma among others. Directed by debutant Jo George and written by Sagar, the film is produced by Faizal Raja under the banner of Little Crew Production. This Varun Unni musical is cinematographed by Saneesh Stanly and edited by Noufal Abdulla.
Azadi's plot overview
Set primarily within the confines of Kottayam Medical College, Azadi follows Ganga, a pregnant prisoner accused of murdering a political leader's son. As she is admitted to the hospital to deliver her baby, her husband Raghu devises a 24-hour escape plan involving a network of insiders. However, their past catches up with them as adversaries infiltrate the hospital, turning the escape mission into a dangerous fight for survival.
Azadi's review
A part of the Lensemen's review of the film read, 'Azadi is a movie that had the potential to be at least engaging if it had better writing. The way it conceals the whole plan is actually interesting on a conceptual level, but when the writing forces you to look at every twist with a frowning face, it becomes very difficult to enjoy a thriller like this. If your film viewing frequency is extremely low, Azadi might feel like a passable watch.'

Narivetta OTT Release: Tovino Thomas, Suraj Venjaramoodu's critically acclaimed thriller to stream on THIS OTT platform

Malayalam thriller Narivetta, starring Tovino Thomas and Suraj Venjaramoodu, is all set to premiere on SonyLIV on July 11. The intense police procedural, which earned praise during its theatrical run, will now be available to stream for digital audiences. SonyLIV confirmed the film's release date via Instagram, sharing a gripping teaser along with the caption: 'Echoes of truth, shadows of injustice! Watch Narivetta from July 11 only on Sony LIV.' The platform also posted a series of stills from the film, tagging lead actor Tovino Thomas and building anticipation among fans. SonyLIV also posted it on X and wrote, 'He carried their souls in every step, and their voices in his heart. Tovino's most haunting performance, streaming on Sony LIV from Jul 11th. Watch #Narivetta from July 11 only on Sony LIV." Narivetta follows the story of Varghese (Tovino Thomas), a disillusioned 28-year-old who struggles to find meaning in life. After repeated job rejections and a breakup with his girlfriend Nancy (Priyamvada Krishnan), he reluctantly joins the CRPF. What follows is a transformative journey, as he finds guidance under Officer Bashir Ahmed (Suraj Venjaramoodu), who mentors him through the rigid system. The film takes a darker turn when it dives into a case inspired by the 2003 Muthanga tribal protest — blending fiction with real-life socio-political tension. Directed by Abin Joseph and produced by Tippushan and Shiyas Hassan under the Indian Cinema Company banner, Narivetta struck a chord with audiences and critics alike during its theatrical run. Scoring a 40-day run in cinemas, the film was lauded for its powerful narrative, emotional depth, and raw performances. Tovino Thomas had earlier shared heartfelt audience reactions on social media, including clips of viewers wiping tears and giving the film a standing ovation. With Jakes Bejoy's music elevating the emotional beats, Narivetta promises a gripping and thought-provoking watch as it makes its way to OTT.
