Malayalam superstar Mohanlal’s 3D directorial debut, which was six years in the making, is finally set to drop on OTT after its truncated theatrical run, which lasted barely a month and failed to recover its budget. The movie will begin streaming on Disney+ Hotstar from January 22, 2025.

The streaming platform Disney+ Hotstar announced that the movie is gearing up for its OTT release and it will be available in five languages – Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada for sure. It’s not yet confirmed when the film will release in Hindi yet.

Barroz OTT release date: When, where to watch the film online

The movie, which was released only in 3D, is a children’s fantasy and revolved around its titular character, who was a ghost tasked to protect the treasure of Portuguese emperor Da Gama till his rightful heir returned to claim it. This happens almost 300 years after he is imprisoned by the curse, when a Portuguese teenager, Isabella, arrives in Goa with his father with the plan of converting the palace into a casino.

Barroz is set to release on Disney+ Hotstar on January 22. This would mean that the film, which released in theatres on December 25, would have had a theatrical run of less than a month. The Hindi version, however, might only drop in February 2025.

The movie, which was reportedly made on a budget exceeding Rs 100 Cr, barely managed to recover Rs 25 Cr worldwide and proved to be one of the biggest disasters in Mohanlal’s career.

Mohanlal’s upcoming projects in 2025

That said, Barroz’s OTT release will also coincide with its producers, Aashirvad Cinemas, unveiling a host of Mohanlal’s upcoming projects including the much-awaited trailer of L2: Empuraan. Mohanlal’s next release will be Tharun Moorthy’s Thudarum, which is slated to hit theatres on January 30.
