Lately, this portal hasn't purchased many Malayalam films. It was recently confirmed that Netflix has also purchased the digital rights to Dhoomakethu, another recent Malayalam film that was released in theatres. This year, only a few Malayalam films, like Pennum Porattum and Bharathanatyam 2 Mohiniyattam, were available on Netflix. It was also reported that Parvathy Thiruvothu’s Pradhama Drishtya Kuttakar is also likely to stream on the same platform soon.

All about Avarachan & Sons
Avarachan & Sons is based on a single father, Avarachan, who spends his days drinking and stirring up trouble until one careless deed pulls him into a risky feud. His time in exile—sent to his sister's home to avoid the fallout—becomes much more than an escape; it opens the door to unexpected new connections, profound realisations, and a chance at self-redemption.
This film marks Thampi's directorial debut. The movie is bankrolled by Listen Stephen under the banner of Magic Frames. Avarachan & Sons also stars Vinay Forrt, Akhila Bhargavan, Johnny Antony, Grace Antony, Parvathy Babu, Pauly Valsan, Watson, Sabumon, Kottayam Nazeer and Vineeth Thattil in supporting parts. Sanal Dev has composed music for this movie, while Sajith Purushan handled the camera work. The screenplay for the movie was written by Joseph Vijeesh and Thambi.
