Malayalam OTT Releases: 'Thudarum' to ‘Jerry': Must-watch Malayalam OTT releases this week!
Get ready for an exciting lineup of Malayalam films hitting OTT platforms this week! From gripping thrillers to heartfelt dramas, these four new releases promise captivating stories and stellar performances. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Dive into the vibrant world of Malayalam cinema with these fresh titles! 'Thudarum' Set against the serene backdrop of Ranni's hill town, Thudarum is a compelling drama that weaves a tale of human connections and personal struggles. This film explores emotional depth and resilience, making it a must-watch for fans of storytelling with heart. Now streaming on OTT. ETimes gave the film a rating of 3 stars, and our review read, 'Tharun, whose last film Saudi Vellakka won a National Awards, could have done better to have created a more subtle story; this very much has an '80s-'90s feel. For Mohanlal fans, his raw magnetism might be exciting, but with its loud and overwritten scenes, the acting lacks nuance all around.' Alappuzha Gymkhana | Song - Panjara Punch A vibrant narrative packed with local flavor, Alappuzha Gymkhana dives into the cultural tapestry of Kerala's backwaters. This film blends humor and drama, offering a fresh perspective on community dynamics. Catch it on SonyLIV starting June 5, 2025. ETimes review for the Naslen starrer read, 'Alappuzha Jimkhana may not offer the highs of Thallumaala, nor does it aim to. This is a slice-of-life narrative about kids who dream in fragments and grow up learning that sometimes the greatest win is just to stay on your feet. ' Jerry - Official Trailer 'Jerry' brings a light-hearted yet poignant story to the screen, focusing on relatable characters navigating life's quirks. Perfect for viewers seeking a mix of comedy and emotion, this film is available on SimplySouth from May 30, 2025. The movie features Kottayam Nazeer, Pramod Velliyanad and many others in pivotal roles. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Big Ben - Official Teaser A thrilling ride with unexpected twists, Big Ben keeps you on the edge with its engaging plot and dynamic performances. This Malayalam gem is ideal for those craving suspense and drama, streaming on SunNxt as of May 30, 2025.

Tourist Family OTT Release Date Confirmed: 5 things to know before watching Sasikumar's Tamil film online
Tourist Family OTT Release Date Confirmed: Sasikumar recently headlined this family drama, which arrived in theatres on 29th April this year. Written and directed by Abishan Jeevinth in his directorial debut, the Tamil film enjoyed a wholesome reception from audiences and critics alike. As Tourist Family inches closer to its digital debut, here are five things you must know about it. 1. When and where to watch Tourist Family? Tourist Family will be streaming starting June 2, 2025, on JioHotstar in India. Overseas audiences can watch it on SimplySouth from the same date. 2. Tourist Family's cast and crew Produced by Million Dollar Studios and MRP Entertainment, this Sean Roldan musical is cinematographed by Aravind Viswanathan and edited by Barath Vikraman. Other than Sasikumar, Tourist Family also stars Simran, Mithun Jai Sankar, Yogi Babu, Kamalesh Jagan, M. S. Bhaskar, Ramkumar Prasanna, Ramesh Thilak, Abishan Jeevinth, Bagavathi Perumal, Elango Kumaravel, Sreeja Ravi, Soundarya Saravanan, Yogalakshmi, Porkodi Senthil and Sudarshan Gandhi. 3. Tourist Family's plot overview After the COVID-19 pandemic, a Tamil family from Jaffna, Sri Lanka, struggles to make ends meet due to the country's worsening economy. The father, Dharmadas, decides to move his wife and two children to India, hoping for a fresh start and a better future. But life in India isn't easy. They arrive with little money, no jobs, and can't speak the local language well. People treat them like outsiders, and adjusting to a new culture is tough. Despite all this, the family doesn't give up. They take on small jobs and get a little help from kind strangers along the way. Together, they push through every challenge. The story is about how they stick together, keep hope alive, and slowly build a new life in a place that, at first, doesn't feel like home but eventually becomes one. 4. Tourist Family's review The Times of India rated the film 2.5 out of 5, and a part of their review read, 'Ever feel like a movie is trying really hard to make you feel something, laying out all the emotional cues, but you're just… not buying it? That's kind of the experience with the Tourist Family. Where the film sometimes loses its footing is in how it demonstrates this goodness. Tourist Family is a gentle look at the challenges of starting over, even if the narrative feels somewhat formulaic.' 5. Tourist Family's box office performance Tourist Family opened to modest expectations but quickly gained momentum due to its heartfelt storytelling and strong performances. The film grossed ₹2.35 crore on its opening day and maintained a steady upward trajectory over the following days. By the end of its first week, it had accumulated around ₹23.3 crore in India, with a total worldwide gross nearing ₹19 crore. As of May 28, 2025, the film's worldwide gross had reached ₹82.46 crore, including ₹58.39 crore from Tamil Nadu, ₹15 crore from other domestic markets, and ₹15.1 crore from overseas collections. This impressive performance places Tourist Family as the fifth highest-grossing Tamil film of 2025.
