After a gap of two months since its theatrical release, the Arjun Ashokan-starrer drama film ‘Thalavara’ has officially made its digital debut. Despite receiving positive reviews from audiences and critics, the film couldn’t make a significant mark at the box office, largely due to the buzz surrounding Kalyani Priyadarshan’s superhero film ‘Lokah’ which was trending at that time.
Where You Can Watch ‘Thalavara’
The feel-good Malayalam drama, which hit theaters on August 22, is now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video. Presented by acclaimed filmmaker Mahesh Narayanan, the film brings forward a sensitive and emotional story that connects with viewers on a human level.
Arjun Ashokan as a Person with Vitiligo
In ‘Thalavara’, Arjun Ashokan delivers a powerful performance as Jyothish, a young man living with vitiligo. The story beautifully captures his struggles with societal prejudice, emotional challenges, and personal insecurities, yet showcases his hopeful and resilient spirit. The film’s grounded storytelling and emotional depth have made it stand out as a meaningful piece of cinema.
