Pennum Porattum — OTT Release

What’s It About? A Village Where Rumour Is Law

Set in the eerily fictional village of Pattada — a place so steeped in death it’s practically the village mascot — Pennum Porattum is an absurdist social satire that follows three central characters: Gopalan Master, Charulatha, and Suttu. Each faces the village’s brutal, mob-minded judgment in their own way.

Suttu eventually finds a way out, choosing freedom. Charulatha, however, remains — trapped within Pattada’s suffocating cycle of violence and injustice. It’s the kind of story that uses humour and surrealism to say things that a straightforward drama simply couldn’t. Think dark, think layered, think uncomfortable in the best possible way.

What makes this debut even more special is the voice of Tovino Thomas lending his distinctive presence to the film’s narration — the kind of detail that immediately elevates a project.

Rajesh Madhavan Steps Behind the Camera

Best known for his acting work, Rajesh Madhavan makes a confident leap into directing with this film, also starring in it. It’s a bold double role — both in front of and behind the lens — and the Malayalam cinema community has been watching closely.

The film arrives on Netflix on March 13, 2026, in Malayalam along with dubbed versions in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada — giving it a broad national reach that most Malayalam films can only dream of.
