Sahasam X Review: Fans Call It A ‘Fun-Filled' Family Entertainer
Sahasam, the Malayalam drama film featuring Narain, Babu Antony and Gouri G. Kishan in the titular roles, has finally hit the theatres on August 8. The film, directed by Bibin Krishna, delves into this familiar territory by bringing together a colourful mix of characters whose lives become entangled in unexpected ways.
The plot is around Jeevan (Ramzan Muhammed) and his girlfriend Sera (Gouri G Kishan), whose relationship is tested when her family arranges her marriage with someone else, against her wishes. As the couple struggles to overcome this problem, their paths cross with Mastan Bhai (Babu Antony), a man with a criminal past. What follows is a web of confusion that includes Sera's family, Mastan's enemies, and a series of progressively chaotic conflicts.
How Did Fans React On X
Soon after the release of the film, many users took to X and shared their honest reviews. While many lauded the film for its storytelling, others called it a one-time watch.
An X user wrote, 'Sahasam is a no-brainer, fun-filled entertainer that followed the vintage Priyadarshan comedy film's hallmark of parallel subplots with chaotic hilarity and mass ending created good, shot well, and acted excellently by the performers, but the picture fell short of an absolute."

Another one commented, 'A partially engaging crime comedy with vibrant making and good performances. Sets up a hyperlinked narrative that focuses on multiple characters and events, but the poor writing in the 2nd half came as a villain. Many unwanted subplots. Ramzan miscast. AVERAGE 2.5/5."

‘Paranthu Po' emerges as most-watched South Indian film on OTT for the week
The Akshay Kumar-led comedy Housefull 5, which premiered on Prime Video on 1 August 2025, has clinched the top spot as the most-watched film on OTT for the week of 4 to 10 August 2025, according to Ormax Media. Hot on its heels, however, is the delightful Tamil-language musical comedy Paranthu Po, which is now available for streaming on JioHotstar via OTTplay Premium. A surprise entry in the coveted list, Paranthu Po's inclusion is particularly commendable considering the film does not feature a marquee name such as Nithiin, who stars in the Telugu film Thammudu, Siddharth from the Tamil film 3BHK, or Tovino Thomas in the Malayalam outing Nadikar. Helmed by acclaimed director Ram, Paranthu Po tells the heartwarming story of a sprightly young boy named Anbu and his deepening bond with his father, Gokul. With 2.2 million views amassed between 4 and 10 August, Ormax Media confirms the film as the most-watched South Indian release of the week. In comparison, Siddharth's 3BHK garnered 1.7 million views, while Nithiin's Thammudu secured 1.2 million. Malayalam actor Prithviraj Sukumaran's Hindi-language debut Sarzameen, also starring Kajol and Ibrahim Ali Khan, has once again entered the top five, notching up 1.4 million views. The direct-to-OTT film, which premiered on 25 July 2025, is also streaming on JioHotstar via OTTplay Premium. Tovino Thomas' Malayalam film Nadikar, which features a stellar ensemble cast including Bhavana, Balu Varghese and Soubin Shahir, currently making waves with the viral track Monica from Rajinikanth's upcoming film Coolie was another notable release in the southern slate.
