![OTT](https://technosports.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/image-1915-1024x576.png)

A chilling Malayalam psychological thriller from showrunner Jeethu Joseph, arriving February 27. It follows a girl haunted by a green-eyed predator who unexpectedly appears as a houseguest. Directed by Sumesh Nandakumar and starring Meena, Sanjana Dipu, and Vineeth, the narrative delves into layered psychological themes — and marks lyricist Vinayak Sasikumar’s debut as a scriptwriter. [Growth Jockey](https://www.growthjockey.com/blogs/shark-tank-india-judge) Jeethu Joseph’s involvement alone makes this essential viewing for Malayalam thriller fans.

## 🔵 Thadayam (ZEE5) — Tamil

Director Navinkumar Palanivel’s crime thriller draws inspiration from real-life events that transpired along the Tamil Nadu–Andhra Pradesh border in 1999. Starring Samuthirakani and Sshivada, the title translates to ‘Clue’ — and that perfectly hints at the intricate web of mystery that unfolds. Each crime scene eerily mirrors the last, with the killer stealing sacred marriage symbols — adding layers of psychological terror to a tense rural investigation.  Think slow-burn procedural done right.
