5 Best Mammootty Films to Stream on Sun NXT and OTTPlay Premium
Pranchiyettan and The Saint
Director: Ranjith
Cast: Mammootty, Innocent, Priya Mani, Khushboo, Siddique
Mammootty played the titular character, Cherammal Eenashu Francisis, aka Pranchi, a rich businessman who is going through a mid-life crisis. The megastar’s excellent performance in Ranjith’s satirical drama, which has a touch of humour, and his impeccable dialogue delivery in the authentic Thrissur slang are an absolute treat to watch.
Paleri Manikyam: Oru Pathirakolapathakathinte Kadha
Director: Ranjith
Cast: Mammootty, Shweta Menon, Siddique, Mythili
The multiple National Award-winner teamed up with Ranjith yet again for Paleri Manikyam: Oru Pathirakolapathakaithinte Kadha, the movie adaptation of TP Rajeevan’s popular novel. Mammootty stunned audiences with his performances in triple roles as the cruel landlord Murikkinkunnathu Ahammed Haji, his son Khalid Ahammed, and his illegitimate son Haridas Ahammed in the movie, which went on to earn cult status.

Munnariyippu
Director: Venu
Cast: Mammootty, Aparna Gopinath, Nedumudi Venu, Joy Mathew, Renji Panicker
Mammootty teamed up with cinematographer-director Venu for the psychological thriller Munnariyippu, during one of the most underwhelming phases of his career. The megastar delivered a brilliant performance as CK Raghavan, a prisoner convicted of double homicide, in the spine-chilling film, which earned immense love from film fanatics and critics.
Rajamanikyam
Director: Anwar Rasheed
Cast: Mammootty, Rahman, Saikumar, Manoj K Jayan, Ranjith
This Anwar Rasheed directorial, which re-established Mammootty as the crowdpuller of Malayalam cinema, is much more than just a mass action thriller. The veteran actor played the titular character, Rajamanikyam, a rich yet uneducated businessman who hides the wounds of a troubled, painful childhood underneath his loud personality. Mammootty also set a new benchmark in dialogue delivery by handling the Trivandrum dialect in the film like a pro.
