The date for the over-the-top (OTT) release of Corona Papers, which is directed by Priyadarshan and stars Shine Tom Chacko and Shane Nigam, has been confirmed at long last. Sri Ganesh’s Tamil film ‘Thottakal,’ a movie that was translated from Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa’s 1949 film ‘Stray Dog,’ is the source of inspiration for this film, which is a confusing suspense thriller.
Corona Papers OTT Release Date
Reports indicate that Corona Papers will be releasing its first digital edition sometime this week. Beginning on May 5, 2023, the movie will be available to stream on the OTT platform behemoth Disney+ Hotstar after it has been published.
In an interview with Om Manorama, the filmmaker Priyadarshan was asked about the movie, and he responded by saying that he is constantly learning. “This is a crime thriller that takes place during the time of the Covids. We are not making any extravagant claims, as this movie is on the shorter side. This is a movie that I have never worked on before. There are no songs performed by Mohanlal or MG Sreekumar, nor is there any humor. I was the one who penned and created it. According to the director, “I don’t need to be accountable to anyone, regardless of whether or not it turns out to be a success.”
“The films of some directors will feature the director’s signature in some capacity. That element is not there in my films. I am a person who creates a variety of different kinds of films. This movie underwent a transformation when it was recast and given fresh talent behind the camera. I believe that rather than criticizing everything that people of a younger age are doing, you should take lessons from them. I am still learning,” Priyadarshan said.
When and Where to Watch Corona Papers
You can watch this crime thriller on Hotstar from 05 May 2023.
Priyadashan’s work on the thriller ‘Corona Papers’, which was heavily influenced by the Tamil movie ‘8 Thottakal’ and received a great deal of praise from moviegoers despite its lackluster performance at the box office, was inspired by that movie. Fans of suspenseful films will be pleased to learn that Priyadarshan’s “Corona Papers” will be available to stream on a well-known OTT platform beginning on May 5.

The groundbreaking film ‘Stray Dogs’ by Akira Kurasawa, which was released in 1949, was another source of motivation for ‘Corona Papers’. The fantastic images of the film were captured by Divakar Mani, while MS Aiyappan Nair was responsible for the editing. The original score for ‘Corona Papers’ was composed by KP.
What’s the story of Corona Papers
When rookie subinspector Rahul Nambiar’s gun is stolen on a bus, he and his superiors are required to keep the theft a secret until they can identify the pickpocket who committed the crime. Within a span of a few days, the gun goes through multiple owners and is involved in both a murder and a bank robbery. The conditions of the criminals make it impossible for them to adhere to their plan when the police begin their investigation of the case. How exactly does the gun decide their destinies and bring their pasts together?
Cast & Crew of Corona Papers
Shine was a member of the ensemble cast of ‘Corona Papers,’ which also included the other actors. Tom Chacko, Jean Lal, Gayathrie, Maniyanpilla Raju, Vijilesh Karayad, Hannah Reji Koshy, and Sandhya Shetty. Even though Priyadarshan’s latest film, “Corona Papers,” cannot be considered a triumphant return to form, it is safe to say that it is a marked improvement over his previous misfire, “Kunjali Marakkar,” which starred Mohanlal in the lead role.

Actor Siddique, who plays a retired police officer who had to face a lot of legal backlashes after his superiors planted an encounter case on him, performs an excellent job thanks to his outstanding acting prowess. Sidhique portrays a character who had to face a lot of legal backlash after his superiors planted an encounter case on him. By performing some fascinating stunt sequences, Shane, Shine, and Lal provide the audience with certain moments that make them hold their breath.
Shane Nigam (Eeda, Kumbalangi Nights, Bhoothakaalam), who is sincere but saddled with two-dimensional characters, is given the opportunity to shine only in a moment in which he demonstrates his athletic prowess. This action involves an exhilarating chase on foot and in automobiles through congested city highways.
Nevertheless, he has reason to be grateful when one considers the treatment that the script gives to a talented youngster such as Gayathrie Shankar: her role as a video journalist is introduced to the plot in order to direct an important episode, but she is largely ignored until the conclusion of the story.
He can count his blessings. And while we’re on the subject of Gayathrie, I’d like to suggest that moviemakers do some research on the careers that are depicted in their works. Despite the fact that Gayathrie’s character is just an intern, she is depicted as a regular host of a crime show on her channel.
