Chempaneer Poovu tops Malayalam TV ratings; Teacheramma climbs to third spot
Chempaneer Poovu, starring Arun and Rebecca Santhosh, continues its dominance as the most-watched serial on Malayalam television. The show's growing popularity is largely attributed to the compelling chemistry between its lead characters, Sachi and Revathi, whose romantic storyline has clearly struck a chord with viewers.
In the second position remains Patharamattu, which features Lekshmi, Anusha, and Vishnu V Nair. The show's consistent performance and strong narrative continue to maintain its loyal fan base.
Making a notable jump, Teacheramma has climbed to the third spot, overtaking Pavithram. The recently launched serial, led by Sreelekshmi, has quickly garnered attention with its engaging storyline and fresh presentation, signaling a promising future for the show.
Meanwhile, Pavithram has slipped to the fourth position. Despite having a solid cast including
Surabhi Santhosh
and Sreekanth Sasikumar, the latest plot developments appear to be falling short of audience expectations. Fans are reportedly eager for the revival of the love track between Vikram and Vedha.
In fifth place is Mounaragam, one of Malayalam television's longest-running and most cherished shows. With
Naleef Gea
and Aishwarya Ramsai in the lead roles, the serial continues to enjoy a dedicated viewership, securing its place in the top five.
On the non-fiction front, Star Singer retains its spot as the most-watched reality show on Malayalam TV. The recently launched musical show Pattile Tharam is also off to a solid start, earning decent viewership in its debut weeks.

Can't wait for everyone to meet Sundari ❤️' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In the trailer, Janhvi's hard work shines through — from the lilting rhythm of her speech to the cultural authenticity she brings on screen.

And now, he is dialling that up several notches, with a pivotal antagonist role in Superstar Rajinikanth's Coolie, which releases in theatres on August 14, 2025. He's already grabbed eyeballs with his energetic moves in the special song Monica from Coolie, in which audiences reckon he outshone Pooja Hegde and has had Rajinikanth shower him with praise galore after seeing Soubin in action on the set of the film. Soubin Shahir in Coolie Here's a look at 4 recent films available on OTTplay Premium that we think are worth a watch on OTT to know what Soubin's made of Pravinkoodu Shaapu Soubin Shahir joined actor-filmmaker Basil Joseph in this black comedy crime thriller written and directed by Sreeraj Sreenivasan. Soubin played a waiter at a local toddy shop that becomes a crime scene, when the shop owner is found dead after heavy rain forces 11 people to stay put overnight, which they spend drinking and playing cards. The film follows the investigation into what turns out to be premeditated murder, by Basil's character. Manjummel Boys Written and directed by Chidambaram, the survival thriller Manjummel Boys is based on a real-life incident that happened in the Guna caves back in 2006. The film follows a group of friends from Manjummel, who head out on a road trip to Kodaikanal, when tragedy strikes one of them, who slips through a crevice in a restricted area and gets stuck deep within the Guna caves, a hole from which localites believe there is no coming back. Soubin played Kuttan, one of the friends, whose grit and determination to get his buddy out of this precarious situation ensured a life was saved. The actor also served as producer on the film, it was the highest grossing Malayalam film ever, until L2: Empuraan broke that record. Romancham This horror comedy written and directed by debutant Jithu Madhavan was based on real-life experiences the filmmaker and his friends had during their college days. Soubin was joined by Arjun Ashokan, Sajin Gopu, Siju Sunny, among others, in this tale about a bunch of collegians trying to summon a spirit with an Ouija board and the troubles that befall them thereafter. Romancham was a big hit and became one of the highest grossing Malayalam movies of 2023. The film was remade in Hindi as Kapkapii, but did not enjoy the success of the original. Bheeshma Parvam Amal Neerad's action thriller film had Soubin as Mammootty's right-hand man in a tale of power dynamics between feuding families. Bheeshma Parvam is also the film in which Soubin showed off his dance skills in the song Parudeesa, which Malayali audiences highlighted after the Coolie song Monica went viral and non-Malayalis began calling the actor a non-dancer.
