UnniMukundan starter Malikappuram is one of the biggest hits in Malayalam in recent times. With the positive word-of-mouth publicity, the film has a significant audience beyond the week as the family audience has started reaching out. The makers have also informed us that the film has entered the 100-crore club. Now the film is getting ready for OTT release.
The film will be streamed through Disney Plus Hotstar. Disney Plus Hotstar informed me two days ago that Malikappuram will be available on their platform. But the OTT release date was not announced. Now they have also announced the streaming date of the film. The film will begin its OTT release on February 15. It is rare in any language for a film to be released as an OTT release while continuing to run in theaters to packed audiences.
