Nivin Pauly's Malayalee from India gets OTT release date

Malayalee from India, the film, starring Nivin Pauly in the lead role, will be streaming on Sony Liv starting on July 5. The makers announced the same on their social media handles.

Malayalee from India, directed by Dijo Jose Antony, was released in the theatres on May 1. Following its theatrical release, the film received mixed reception from the audience as well as the critics. An excerpt from the CE review of the film read, "As the film draws to a close, viewers may find themselves puzzled about its overarching message. The film initially delves into Kerala's communal politics, but even after emphasizing the futility of hatred, Gopi's stance on the outfits propagating hate remains uncertain. Malayalee From India ends up as another testament to the fact that storytelling requires more than just good intentions."

The film has a script penned by Sharis Mohammed, who earlier collaborated with Dijo in his previous directorial ventures Queen (2018) and Jana Gana Mana (2022).

Besides Nivin, the film also stars Anaswara Rajan, Dhyan Sreenivasan, Manju Pillai, Shine Tom Chacko, Salim Kumar, and Vijayakumar in prominent roles. The film is jointly produced by Nivin's home banner, Pauly Jr Pictures and Listin Stephen's Magic Frames. The film's technical team includes cinematographer Sudeep Elamon, editor Sreejith Sarang and composer Jakes Bejoy.
