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.' Do you think Azadi will find its audience on OTT? Drop your thoughts @indiatimes.

Azadi OTT Release: Where to watch Sreenath Bhasi and Vani Vishwanath's Malayalam film online after theatres
Azadi OTT Release: Sreenath Bhasi's upcoming Malayalam film may still be gearing up for its big-screen debut on May 23, but fans who prefer streaming from the comfort of home won't have to wait long. The makers have already locked in ManoramaMAX as the OTT platform for the film's digital release. That's right, unlike many Malayalam films that wait until after the theatrical run to sort out streaming deals, Azadi has managed to tie up its digital rights even before hitting cinemas. This is a rare move in the current Malayalam film industry, where movies usually wait to see how they perform at the box office before landing an OTT partner. Only a few other titles, like Officer on Duty and Thudarum, managed the same. If trends are anything to go by, Azadi is expected to drop on Manorama Max about four weeks after its theatrical release, so you can likely stream it by late June. What is Azadi all about? Azadi is not your everyday drama. This one's a jail thriller unfolding inside a hospital and blending themes of survival, justice, and revenge. The trailer hints at some intense drama where we see veteran actor Lal playing a father on a mission for justice, while Raveena, a renowned voice artist, plays a pregnant prisoner accused of killing a political leader's son in cold blood. Sreenath Bhasi leads the film with a dark, brooding performance, and actress Vani Viswanath plays a strong, no-nonsense cop, a role that harks back to her iconic performances in films like The King and Black Daliya. The supporting cast also includes Saiju Kurup, Vijayakumar, Mala Parvathi, Gilu Joseph, Abhiram Radhakrishnan, TG Ravi and Rajesh Sharma among others. Who's behind Azadi? Azadi is the directorial debut of Jo George, with its screenplay coming from writer Sagar, known for films like Veekam and Sathyam Mathrame Bodhippikku. The project is produced by Faizal Raja under the Little Crew Production banner, with Remis Raja and Resmi Faizal as co-producers. This Varun Unni musical is cinematographed by Saneesh Stanly and edited by Noufal Abdullah.
