Pani OTT release: When and where to watch Joju George, Sagar Surya's violent revenge-thriller in Hindi and Telugu

Judging by the success of Unni Mukundan’s Marco in states outside Kerala, even Malayalam action-thrillers seem to have found a fanbase. Actor-director Joju George’s Pani, which is gearing up for its OTT release, could appeal to the same audience that loved Marco  – after all, it has action, is a revenge thriller, and has its fair share of violence.

The movie revolves around two youngsters who are trying to make it big in the world of crime. As they take on their first task as part of a ‘quotation’, their paths cross with the crime honchos of the city – Giri and his family. How the fearless duo takes it as an opportunity to speed their race to the top and become a brand in the world of crime, and the consequences they have to face by going up against someone more vengeful forms the plot of Pani.
