Latest Malayalam OTT releases of the week (January 21 to January 26) to stream on Disney+ Hotstar, Netflix, Prime Video and more

After the flurry of OTT drops last week including Joju George's Pani, Aashiq Abu's Rifle Club, Arjun Ashokan's Anand Sreebala and Naslen's I Am Kathalan, the third week of January 2025 seems to be rather quiet in terms of new Malayalam streaming releases. 

But that won't be disappointing to a lot of people, as Mohanlal's directorial debut Barroz will begin streaming on OTT less than a month after its theatrical release, and in theatres, there's a new Mammootty movie, Dominic and the Ladies' Purse, directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon. Here's the entire list of new and latest Malayalam OTT, theatre releases this week.

New Malayalam OTT, theatre releases this week (January 21 to January 26)

Barroz

Mohanlal's big-budget directorial debut, which is a children's fantasy, didn't quite work at the box office. The makers of the movie, which revolves around an ancient treasure guardian waiting for the rightful heir to return, will be hoping that the film finds more favour with the audience on OTT. Mohanlal plays the titular character of a 400-year-old treasure guardian, who along with his sidekick Voodoo, is doomed to guard the gold of his Portuguese lord till a teenager finally arrives.
