A ₹3.5 crore film earns ₹26 crore. No explosions. No stars. Just a cop who made a mistake — and a movie that didn’t.

In Pradhama Drishtya Kuttakkar, Parvathy Thiruvothu’s character evades narco analysis and ballistic testing by replacing a crime bullet with a forged one, using skills from her welding background. The twist hinges on a detective’s published book revealing his methods.

Parvathy Thiruvothu stars in 'Pradhama Drishtiya Kuttakkar', a psychological crime thriller about a police officer caught in a web of suspicion after a fatal incident at her station. The film is now streaming on Netflix.

The film, directed by Shahad Nilambur and produced by Arjun Selva, features Mathew Thomas, Sidharth Bharathan, Vijayaraghavan, Vinay Forrt, and Tamil actor Parthiban in key roles. It’s a low-budget thriller that found its way into the mainstream without a big star or studio backing. That’s rare. And that’s why the lack of accessibility feels like a missed opportunity.

Parvathy Thiruvothu takes on her first police role in Pradhama Drishtya Kuttakkar, portraying Aleena Abraham with emotional depth and realism. The film, now on Netflix, marks a career milestone for the actor and offers audiences a grounded take on law enforcement.

Pradhama Drishtya Kuttakkar is streaming on Netflix — and it’s already being called the most intelligent Malayalam crime drama in years. The film, a taut psychological thriller starring Parvathy Thiruvothu as a grieving cop who finds herself at the centre of an accidental shooting, has drawn comparisons to the Drishyam franchise not for its twists, but for its relentless focus on intellect over...

Pradhama Drishtya Kuttakkar, starring Parvathy Thiruvothu as a grieving cop drawn into a web of secrets, launches on Amazon Prime Video this Thursday. The film is one of several regional releases this week, but it’s the only one making waves before the first frame plays.

Pradhama Drishtya Kuttakkar has crossed ₹26 crore net after 27 days, overtaking Bharathanatyam 2 Mohiniyattam and securing its place as the sixth highest-grossing Mollywood film of 2026. Still screening in over 300 theatres, the Parvathy Thiruvothu-starrer survives on word of mouth — not hype.

Pradhama Drishtya Kuttakkar earns 43 lakh net on its fourth Friday, pushing its India total to 24.73 crore. It surpasses Thudakkam’s lifetime earnings and is now on track to beat I’m Game.

Pradhama Drishtya Kuttakkar has overtaken Thudakkam's lifetime India total to become 2026's highest-grossing female-led Mollywood film, with Parvathy Thiruvothu's fourth week still adding steady numbers at the box office.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Parvathy Thiruvothu is playing three cops across three languages at once, a constable in the hit Pradhama Drishtya Kuttakkar, a dubbed voice for Kareena Kapoor Khan in Daayra, and a DCP in Dhootha 2.

Parvathy Thiruvothu opens up about voicing Kareena Kapoor Khan's character in the Malayalam dub of Daayra, revealing the technical grind behind lip-sync and one especially tricky emotional scene.
