Thudarum Streaming on JioHotstar
Following its successful theatrical run, Thudarum expanded its reach through JioHotstar, with the streaming platform making the movie available in five Indian languages.
The availability of Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi versions gives audiences outside Kerala an opportunity to experience the Mohanlal-starrer in their preferred language.
Thudarum emerged as a major theatrical success for Malayalam cinema before making its digital debut. The combination of a family-oriented storyline, thriller elements and emotionally charged performances helped the film connect with a wide audience.
Thudarum Story
Mohanlal plays Shanmughan, a taxi driver affectionately known as “Benz.” He is deeply attached to his family, his village and, in particular, his beloved Ambassador car.
Shanmughan leads an otherwise ordinary life and enjoys the affection and respect of the people around him. His life changes when a series of unexpected events involving his Ambassador car pulls him into a difficult situation.
The story follows Shanmughan as he attempts to understand what is happening around him, protect the people important to him and find a way out of the increasingly complicated circumstances.
The film combines family drama with thriller elements, gradually increasing the tension as Shanmughan’s seemingly simple life becomes entangled in a much larger problem.
Mohanlal and Shobana Reunite in Thudarum
One of the major attractions of Thudarum was the reunion of Mohanlal and Shobana, one of Malayalam cinema’s most celebrated screen combinations.
The supporting cast also plays an important role in the narrative. Prakash Varma, Binu Pappu, Farhaan Faasil, Thomas Mathew, Maniyanpilla Raju, Irshad, Sangeeth Prathap, Nandu, Abin Bino, Aarsha Chandini Baiju, Shoby Thilakan, Bharathiraja and Sreejith Ravi are among the actors appearing in the film.
Prakash Varma’s New Movie Law and Order
Following his appearance in Thudarum, Prakash Varma plays a central role in the Malayalam movie Law and Order, directed by Ranjith.
The action-oriented police drama is scheduled for a theatrical release on 4 September 2026. Written by Uday Krishna, Law and Order revolves around five young Sub-Inspectors entrusted with maintaining law and order in the state and the police officer who leads them.
The film features a large ensemble cast including Abhirami, V. K. Prakash, Devan, Suresh Krishna, Joy Mathew, Bheeman Raghu, Johny Antony, Ajay Vasudev, Akshay Radhakrishnan, Shankar Ramakrishnan, Nandan Unni and Sabumon.
Athimanoharam – Tharun Moorthy and Mohanlal Reunite After Thudarum
Following the success of Thudarum, director Tharun Moorthy and Mohanlal are reuniting for Athimanoharam (Athi Manoharam / അതിമനോഹരം).
The new project brings the director and Mohanlal together again after the remarkable reception received by Thudarum. Athimanoharam therefore becomes another notable upcoming Malayalam film for audiences who enjoyed the actor-director combination in Thudarum.
Vismaya Mohanlal’s Thudakkam Gets JioHotstar and Asianet Rights
Another upcoming project connected to the Mohanlal family is Thudakkam, the debut film of Vismaya Mohanlal.
The film has secured its post-theatrical digital and television partners under JioStar. JioHotstar has acquired the digital streaming rights of Thudakkam, while Asianet has secured the Malayalam satellite television rights.
The agreements establish the post-theatrical homes of Vismaya Mohanlal’s debut film ahead of its eventual digital and television premieres.
Technical Team Behind Thudarum
Thudarum is written by K.R. Sunil and directed by Tharun Moorthy. M. Ranjith produced the film under Rajaputhra Visual Media.
Shaji Kumar handled the cinematography, helping establish the visual character of the family thriller. Editing was handled by Nishadh Yusuf and Shafique V B, while Jakes Bejoy composed the music.
The technical elements, performances and gradual transition from family drama into a tense thriller contribute significantly to the film’s overall impact.
