Malaikottai Vaaliban was released on January 25, 2024, amidst huge expectations. Directed by Lijo Jose Pellissery, Malaikottai Vaaliban has entered its third week without much celebration among fans. According to reports, the Malaikottai Vaaliban OTT is expected to hit Disney+ Hotstar by the first week of March.

The company has acquired streaming rights for the film. Even though the films are released on OTT platforms after fourth week, there are indications that Malaikottai Vaaliban OTT will have an early release. There is a possibility that the film could hit OTT by the end of February 2024.

In addition to Mohanlal, Malaikottai Vaaliban features Sonali Kulkarni, Danish Sait, Manoj Moses, Katha Nandi, Manikandan R. Achari, and much more. The story revolves around the journey to various places and conducts battles with wrestlers. The movie comprises brilliant visual effects but the story was not as per the expectations of the people.

The film failed to make any major impact at the box office. The trackers have reported that Malaikottai Vaaliban has minted Rs 26 crore worldwide, which is less than the overall investment. Mohanlal had announced the release of a comic book. We don’t know in which marketplace the book will be up for sale.

Mohanlal, the popular Malayalam film actor visited Legendary singer KJ Yesudas at his residence in the US. The Pulimurugan actor shared the images of himself and his friends who visited the singer today. We expect that the duo would have talked about the memories and the current situation prevailing in Kerala.

Mohanlal took to both X (formerly Twitter) and shared information about his meeting with KJ Yesudas.

Mohanlal posted in Malayalam as follows:

At the residence of Ganagandharva

Happy to see my dear Dasetan at his home in America.

ഗാനഗന്ധർവൻ്റെ വസതിയിൽ

പ്രിയപ്പെട്ട ദാസേട്ടനെ, അദ്ദേഹത്തിൻ്റെ അമേരിക്കയിലെ വീട്ടിൽ ചെന്ന് കാണാൻ കഴിഞ്ഞ സന്തോഷത്തിൽ. pic.twitter.com/cn8ZaabAIB

Mohanlal met KJ Yesudas along with his friends. This includes Asianet MD Madhavan among others. Previously, Mohanlal had shared an image of an important landmark in Mexico.

Mohanlal is in US to oversee the progress of his upcoming film Barroz. The Jailer actor watched Barroz at Sony Studios Hollywood with Mark Kilian and Jonathan Miller. The work includes fine-tuning of music and sound. Barroz is a 3D film produced by Antony Perumbavoor under the banner of Aashirvad Cinemas.

On the work front, Mohanlal’s Malaikottai Vaaliban is running in theatres with mixed response. The film hasn’t pulled viewers to the film theatres. Even though Mohanlal is a crowd-puller, Malaikottai Vaaliban failed to impress the audience due to some reasons. We expect the film to hit the OTT platform by the end of February.

Lijo Jose Pellissery’s highly anticipated film, ‘Malaikottai Vaaliban‘, starring Mohanlal, made its grand debut on January 25. Hitting the cinemas amidst high hopes, the LJP directorial movie has successfully garnered a full house. The film has sparked a wave of responses from both film enthusiasts and Mohanlal’s ardent fans on social media. Here’s a glimpse at some of the audience reactions on X, previously known as Twitter.

It’s 100% LJP Movie.❤️

People who expect a typical Mass Masala Movie of Mohanlal would be disappointed..🙏

Moviegoers should go out themselves and experience the technical brilliance this movie is made out of..🔥🌟#MalaikottaiVaaliban #Mohanlal pic.twitter.com/9AImghJrfB

#MalaikottaiVaaliban 2nd half is way better than first half in every aspect. That post interval block was well taken and movie ended in a good note too🔥 As usual, this one won’t cater to every type of audience, but is definitely a good watch. A typical LJP formulaic movie 👏🏻👏🏻 pic.twitter.com/PN8Dl9P0zY

Liked it. Only to be experienced at the cinemas. Don’t go in demanding what you like it to be, just enjoy the world it is set in and the broad genre brushes Lijo is going for. #MalaikottaiVaaliban pic.twitter.com/vtQJAgy6fH

Later Half had no high moments at all it moved to characters internal conflict oriented rather than usual action blow , Haresh peradies Monologue was powerfull

“It’s not everyone cup of tea “

#MalaikottaiVaaliban First Half – Too Average so far🚶

– Making of the movie is good💥
– Very slow screenplay. No Emotional connect & No Highlight scenes, Too Flat 🙁
– Mohanlal screen Presence saves the movie to extent 👌
– Interval point leaves with a good note…need a too… pic.twitter.com/NcLbTiNP5j
