The latest Malayalam movie news from Mollywood: box office, release dates, OTT arrivals, trailers and what the stars are saying, updated through the day.

Law & Order: Organized Crime, the Christopher Meloni-led spin-off that broke from the franchise's usual one-episode format, has ended after five seasons and a move to Peacock, according to Collider.

Oru CBI Diary Kurippu didn’t just launch a franchise—it rewired Malayalam cinema’s DNA. The film, released on October 4, 1988, wasn’t a box office event at the time. It was a quiet seismic shift.

Bethlehem Kudumba Unit is streaming on JioHotstar — and it’s already the highest-grossing Malayalam film ever.

Srinivasa Rao’s final film, Singkitham, released months before his passing, was a quiet act of defiance against retirement. Now, it stands as a monument to a life lived on his own terms.

Unnimayi says Mammootty saved her life in 1984 by kicking down a hotel room door. No records. Just a quote. But the moment lives on.

The film’s quiet dominance is a rare win in a year where even big names have stumbled. But for Parvathy, the real story isn’t the box office. It’s the seven years it took to manifest a thriller that still makes her voice crack when she talks about it.

Bethlehem Kudumba Unit's OTT release has sparked debate: was its theatrical success built on momentum or misjudged charm?

Urvashi and Jagadish are back — not as a pair of lovers, but as two people circling each other in silence.

Nivin Pauly and Mamitha Baiju lead a low-key Malayalam romance about neighbours becoming something more — no twists, no drama, just two lives brushing against each other.

Arjun Rampal and Mohanlal are in Georgia, and the camera’s rolling. Operation Ganga—officially titled just weeks ago—is moving fast, with its international shoot wrapping up after a gruelling stretch across Eastern Europe.

She left at the peak. Like a song cut mid-verse. No one’s waiting. Not even her father. The door’s closed. The lights are off. The script is gone.

Bethlehem Kudumba Unit has become the highest-grossing Malayalam film ever, driven by repeat viewership. Now streaming on JioHotstar, the film’s emotional warmth and sharp comedy are drawing audiences back — not once, but again and again.

Aasha, starring Urvashi, Aishwarya Lekshmi and Joju George, has netted 6.19 crore in India after three weeks, trailing only Hello Mummy among the actress’s top‑grossers so far.

The Tamil musical sequel Meesaya Murukku 2 has amassed a net 19.35 crore in five days, closing in on Idhayam Murali's lifetime haul, while Malayalam cop drama Pradhama Drishtya Kuttakkar clocks 23.61 crore after 19 days, poised to overtake two fellow releases.

Nivin Pauly and Mamitha Baiju's Bethlehem Kudumba Unit, Malayalam cinema's fastest Rs 300 crore grosser, begins streaming on JioHotstar from October 2, in multiple languages including Telugu.

Ranjith’s comeback film Law & Order opened with just 29 lakh net in India, collected 65 lakh over the weekend and was pulled from theatres after a week, marking a rare flop for the veteran director.

Nivin Pauly’s Bethlehem Kudumba Unit logged a ₹331 crore worldwide total in week six, becoming the biggest Malayalam hit ever and surpassing the top‑grossing Tamil films of Suriya and Ajith.

Parvathy Thiruvothu and Mathew Thomas' Pradhama Drishtiya Kuttakkar logged a 22.94‑crore net collection by day 17, securing the ninth‑largest Malayalam box‑office tally of 2026 and positioning itself for a possible top‑eight finish.

Following a blockbuster run in cinemas, the Malayalam love story Bethlehem Kudumba Unit heads to JioHotstar on October 2, letting fans stream Nivin Pauly and Mamitha Baiju’s chemistry from home.

Parvathy Thiruvothu’s latest Malayalam police drama has turned a quiet opening into a box‑office win, collecting 21.89 crore net in just 16 days and surpassing Prithviraj Sukumaran’s Khalifa, which earned 21.58 crore during its run.

Malayalam sci‑fi comedy Dhoomakethu, starring Nikhila Vimal, debuted with a 68 lakh haul, topping Kerala’s box‑office on day one. The film’s time‑loop premise and mixed‑to‑positive reviews could push it higher over the weekend, marking a solid start for Vimal after recent setbacks.

Vismaya Mohanlal follows up her Thudakkam debut with a lead role in a new Malayalam film directed by Arun Bose, produced by S Cube Films with Ratheena on writing duty.

In a fresh revelation, Malayalam star Dileep told his lawyer he wanted to know who Dinesh Bhai was in a past life and asked for a 15‑point addition to his defence, sources say.

In a candid interview with Kan Channel Media, Kalabhavan Anasaar cleared the air around rumours that Dileep pushed actress Abi out of the limelight, describing the actor as kind‑hearted and supportive throughout his early career.
