Dhyan Sreenivasan's Detective Ujjwalan will start streaming on Netflix from July 11, announced the makers on Thursday. Directed by debutants Indraneel Gopeekrishnan and Rahul G, the mystery comedy thriller sees Dhyan playing Ujjwalan, an amateur detective delving into a series of crimes in a village. It marked the second instalment in the Weekend Cinematic Universe, which began with the Tovino Thomas-starrer Minnal Murali.

The film, released theatrically on May 23, opened to mixed reviews from critics and general audiences. Detective Ujjwalan also features Siju Wilson, Rony David Raj, Kottayam Nazeer, Seema G Nair, Kalabhavan Navas, and Nirmal Palazhi in key roles. Popular social media personalities Ameen, Nihal Nizam, Nibraz Noushad, and Shahubas are also part of the cast. The technical team includes cinematographers Prem Akkattu and Sraiyanti, editor Chaman Chacko, and composer Rzee.

Detective Ujjwalan is produced by Sophia Paul under the banner of Weekend Blockbusters. An excerpt from the CE review of the film reads, "You can enjoy it for its light-hearted tone and effort to build a local hero universe, but don’t expect nail-biting thrills. It’s a decent weekend watch, especially if you're curious about where the universe goes next."
