Parvathy Thiruvothu's latest, Pradhama Drishtya Kuttakkar,is a thriller directed by Shahad Nilambur that hit theatres on September 12, 2026. The film opened to overwhelmingly positive reviews, with several hailing it as Parvathy's Drishyam. At the time of the theatrical release, Pradhama Drishtya Kuttakkar did not have an OTT partner on board, but now that good word of mouth has spread, the buzz is that JioHotstar has picked up the streaming rights.
Going by current trends, the film is likely to drop on the platform after the 4 week mark. The streamer has Vismaya Mohanlal’s Thudakkam lined up for September 18, with the highest grossing Malayalam film, Bethlehem Kudumba Unit expected shortly after. The buzz is that another Onam releases, Khalifa, will also find its post theatrical home on JioHotstar.
Pradhama Drishtya Kuttakkar, which also stars Vijayaraghavan, Sidharth Bharathan, Unnimaya Prasad, Mathew Thomas, Vinay Forrt, Azeez Nedumangad, among others, with R Parthipan and Asif Ali in special cameos, follows an investigation into a custodial death.
Parvathy plays Aleena, a young mother and widow, who joins the police force on compassionate grounds after losing her husband in the line of duty. Assigned to the Nattakam station, she and three of her colleagues pick up a drunk driver while on night patrol. At the station, a scuffle ensues, and the man gets shot, which they then decide to cover up.
Parts of this encounter are captured on the station’s CCTV camera, footage of which gets over-written after 14 days. That's the fortnight that the foursome have to ensure that the finger of suspicion does not point at them. But with a senior officer hot on their heels, can they outfit him?
