New OTT Malayalam releases March 2025 on Netflix, Prime Video, JioHotstar and more

While 2024 was widely heralded as the golden year for Malayalam cinema, 2025 promises to be even better. The film industry followed some of its best movies in 2024, including Manjummel Boys, Aavesham or Kishkindha Kaandam, with brilliant films like Identity and Rekhachithram in the first week of January 2025 itself, and fans have been waiting for the latest Malayalam OTT releases every week. 

It's little wonder then that films of younger Malayalam stars such as Fahadh Faasil, Dulquer Salmaan, Tovino Thomas, Parvathy Thiruvothu, Anna Ben and Prithviraj Sukumaran or even veteran superstars such as Mohanlal and Mammootty, that find their way to OTTs, are now watched by not just Mollywood fans. In March 2025 too, several much-anticipated movies such as Asif Ali's Rekhachithram, Kunchacko Boban's Officer On Duty and Vineeth Sreenivasan's Oru Jaathi Jathakam can be streamed on major OTT platforms. 

OTTplay has got you covered when it comes to the new and latest Malayalam OTT releases and where you can stream them. If you have already watched Love Under Construction on JioHotstar, Hello Mummy on Amazon Prime Video and Marco on Sony LIV, check these out:
