Thudakkam OTT Release: When and Where to Stream the Mohanlal Starrer

Fans who missed the theatrical buzz around Thudakkam can now breathe a sigh of relief – the Malayalam action‑thriller is heading straight to your living‑room screens. The film, which marked the acting debut of Vismaya Mohanlal, opened in cinemas on August 7, 2026, and the buzz hasn’t died down.

JioHotstar confirmed on its social channels that the digital premiere is slated for September 18, 2026. So, if you’re planning a weekend binge, mark the date; the movie will be live on the platform without any hidden hoops.

What’s the story, you ask? Thudakkam follows Meenu, a young woman trained in martial arts, who steps in to help two schoolgirls reach home safely. That simple act drags her into the orbit of a menacing stalker, turning a routine day into a nightmare of chase, fear, and fight. As the tension builds, Meenu’s father – a specially‑abled village officer – and the local police scramble to locate her after she vanishes, leading to a climactic showdown where her combat skills become the only hope for survival.

The cast is a mix of fresh faces and seasoned talent. Alongside Vismaya, we have Ashish Joe Antony (the son of producer Antony Perumbavoor) in a pivotal role, with supporting turns by Bobby Kurian, Sai Kumar, Manoj K Jayan, KB Ganesh Kumar, Chippy Renjith and Miya George, among others. Mohanlal himself makes a brief yet memorable cameo, adding a nostalgic nod for longtime fans.

Behind the camera, director Jude Anthany Joseph steers the narrative, while Linish Nellikkal pens the script. The production bears the hallmark of Aashirvad Cinemas, under Antony Perumbavoor’s watchful eye, with Jakes Bejoy providing the pulsating background score. Cinematography is handled by Jomon T John, Akhil George and Sudeep Elamon, and the final cut comes together thanks to editor Chaman Chakko.

Whether you’re a martial‑arts enthusiast, a fan of psychological thrillers, or simply curious about Vismaya’s first foray onto the silver screen, Thudakkam on JioHotstar promises a mix of high‑octane action and edge‑of‑your‑seat suspense. Set a reminder, grab some popcorn, and get ready to watch Meenu fight back.
