Malaikottai Vaaliban OTT release date: When and where to watch this period drama starring Mohanlal

A fantasy drama titled “Malaikottai Vaaliban,” which was just recently released, is going to make its debut on an online streaming service. It was on January 25, 2024 when the film was first shown in theaters. Malaikottai Vaaliban received a variety of reactions from members of the media and viewers alike.

Malaikottai Vaaliban OTT Release Date 

Malaikottai Vaaliban Hai is set to premiere on Hotstar on 23 February2024.

The majority of the re-recording has been completed in Los Angeles, United States of America, according to Mohanlal, who was speaking about his first directorial effort, Barroz. The remaining tasks are currently being carried out in Budapest, which is located in Hungary. Both India and Thailand will be responsible for handling special effects. We are currently working on finishing the majority of the other components of the movie, and we are planning to release it in December of this year.

Following Double Barrel, each of Lijo Jose Pellissery’s subsequent films possessed this unfiltered quality, notwithstanding the fantastical undertones of Churuli and Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam, among others. Each of these films contains a narrative element that sustains the audience’s interest, and the subplots or backstories depicted therein did not strike me as readily substitutable.

In regard to Malaikottai Vaaliban, I was of the opinion that an excessive amount of improvisation was employed to convey the narrative within a slightly absurdistic context. As a tribute to Sholay, the two leading women can be seen dancing on top of numerous nails while Vaaliban is bound to a pillar. Vaaliban declares “Konjam ange paaru” in a separate scenario. The problem is that you, as an audience member, are not attentively observing these events with inquisitiveness while they are occurring. Furthermore, it resembles a set piece that was merely incorporated for the purpose of achieving magnificence.

When and Where to Watch Malaikottai Vaaliban

You can watch this courtroom comedy on 23 February 2024 on Hotstar.

The primary criticism I had of Double Barrel by Lijo Jose Pellissery was that he went too far with the eccentricity of situations for comedic effect. While Malaikottai Vaaliban, his initial collaboration with Mohanlal, does not occupy a comparable position, there are moments in the movie where Lijo exercises artistic freedom to imbue the situation with a sense of whimsy or obvious peculiarity.

I acknowledge the importance of providing a character with a compelling backstory prior to placing them in a conflicted environment. However, one drawback of Malaikottai Vaaliban is that it becomes somewhat disoriented in each scene, resulting in a choppy visual progression.

Malaikottai Vaaliban Movie Story

The main character of our story is Malaikottai Vaaliban, a wandering wrestler who challenges the most notable warriors in the locations he travels. His master and his master’s son are his living companions. Due to the fact that he believes he is not deserving of any kind of companionship, the solitary spirit has not even attempted to obtain one. Malaikottai Vaaliban is a film that depicts the fight challenge that Vaaliban undertakes in order to free some people who are oppressed by outsiders, as well as the consequences that result from accepting this challenge.

Cast and crew of Malaikottai Vaaliban

Mohanlal assumes the lead role in the film Malaikottai Vaaliban; it is also speculated that Danish Sait, Vidyut Jammwal, Rajpal Yadav, and Radhika Apte will also have significant roles. Few sources of information indicate that this film will feature a substantial number of additional actors speaking languages other than English. We will update information regarding additional cast members as soon as the film crew discloses the details to any media outlet.


In collaboration with Maxlab and Century Films, “Malaikottai Vaaliban” is produced by Shibu Baby John under the production label John & Mary Creatives. The filmography is the work of Lijo Jose Pellissery. The film’s audio will be composed by Prashanth Pillai, while Madhu Neelakandan will oversee the cinematography. Gokul Das will be in command of the creative team, while Deepu Joseph will be responsible for the film’s editing.

In regard to Mohanlal’s acting, I would assert that Malaikottai Vaaliban has made effective use of him. The initial half of the film predominantly emphasizes his charisma and effortlessness as an accomplished wrestler. However, the character experiences emotional turmoil in the second half, providing brief insights into an alternate side of his performance.

His composure during combat sequences significantly benefits the film. Hareesh Peradi is in fine form in his capacity as the dual-shaded maestro of Vaaliban. Rangarani, portrayed by Sonalee Kulkarni, was competent in a role that primarily required her to be an archaic romantic. Vaaliban’s sibling is a pivotal character portrayed by Manoj Moses, while Katha Nandi serves as his romantic interest. Manikandan R. Achari convincingly delivers those exceedingly dramatic lines. The casting of Danish Sait in the role of Chamathakan was splendid.
