Ottachilambu (ഒറ്റച്ചിലമ്പ്) is a Malayalam horror television serial aired on Mazhavil Manorama, featuring Nithya Das, Rajeev Parameshwaran, Urmila Unni, Sharran Puthumana, Baby Manjadi Joby and Angel Mariya Joseph in prominent roles. The supernatural theme made Ottachilambu different from the regular family dramas in the channel’s fiction lineup.
The original announcement came when Mazhavil Manorama started airing the Coming Soon promos for Ottachilambu, indicating that the channel was preparing a new horror-based fiction series.
An important update to this old post is its digital availability: Ottachilambu episodes are available on ManoramaMax, the official OTT streaming platform associated with Mazhavil Manorama.

Ottachilambu – Malayalam Horror Serial
Mazhavil Manorama introduced Ottachilambu as one of its horror-themed Malayalam television serials. The early promotional material itself indicated that supernatural and horror elements would form an important part of the storyline.
At the time of its announcement, Manjurukum Kaalam was among the strongest programmes on Mazhavil Manorama, while the channel was also airing several family-oriented fiction shows.
The arrival of Ottachilambu therefore added a different genre to the channel’s regular serial lineup.
Nithya Das in Ottachilambu
Popular Malayalam actress Nithya Das was one of the major names in the Ottachilambu cast.
Known to audiences through Malayalam cinema and television, her presence was one of the key attractions of the serial.
Rajeev Parameshwaran, another familiar Malayalam television actor, was also part of the principal cast.

The principal actors associated with the Mazhavil Manorama horror serial included:
Nithya Das
Rajeev Parameshwaran
Urmila Unni
Sharran Puthumana
Baby Manjadi Joby
Angel Mariya Joseph
The combination of established actors and younger performers supported the supernatural storyline of the series.
Mazhavil Manorama Serials During the Period
When Ottachilambu was originally announced, Manjurukum Kaalam was one of Mazhavil Manorama’s most successful serials. The show had registered more than 8 points in the BARC ratings during the period covered by the original report.
Mangalya Pattu, Ponnambili and Athmasakhi were among the other fiction programmes associated with the channel’s schedule.
| Mazhavil Manorama Shows | Genre/Format |
|---|---|
| Ottachilambu | Horror / Supernatural Serial |
| Manjurukum Kaalam | Family Drama |
| Mangalya Pattu | Malayalam Serial |
| Ponnambili | Family Drama |
| Athmasakhi | Malayalam Serial |
The original announcement also speculated that Ottachilambu could replace Ponnambili. Since that information was presented as an expectation rather than a confirmed schedule update, it is better retained only as part of the historical context rather than as a confirmed launch detail.
Ottachilambu Episodes on ManoramaMax
The major current value of this old serial page is the availability of Ottachilambu episodes on ManoramaMax.
Episodes of the serial were made available through the platform from 21 September, allowing audiences to revisit the Mazhavil Manorama horror series online.
This is particularly useful for viewers searching for older Malayalam horror serials that are no longer part of the channel’s television schedule.
More Old Mazhavil Manorama Serials
ManoramaMax has also brought several older Mazhavil Manorama television serials back to digital audiences.
Archive titles include Amala, Aniyathi, Bhramanam, Balamani, Jeevitha Nouka, Ente Kuttikalude Achan, Avani, Kalyani, Ennum Sammatham and Rakkuyil.
The availability of these older shows gives viewers another opportunity to revisit different periods of Mazhavil Manorama’s television history.
Malayalam Horror Serials on Television
Ottachilambu belongs to a relatively distinct category within Malayalam television fiction. While family dramas traditionally occupy a large part of prime-time programming, horror and supernatural serials have periodically provided an alternative for audiences interested in mystery-driven stories.
With Nithya Das, Rajeev Parameshwaran, Urmila Unni and other familiar performers in its cast, Ottachilambu remains a notable horror title from Mazhavil Manorama’s serial catalogue.
