Crime thrillers, investigative dramas, and spy action thrillers are dominating OTT platforms across languages. These high-budget productions packed with gripping narratives and spectacular action sequences are proving to be profitable for streaming companies, gaining strong viewership and critical acclaim. Platforms are increasingly inclined to invest in such thrilling content, a trend thats evident even in the Telugu cinema landscape, where regional thrillers are drawing massive audiences.

However, alongside thrillers, a unique and culturally rich genre is quietly taking over the OTT space Malayalam cinema. Known for its storytelling finesse, realism, and strong character development, Malayalam content enjoys a distinct fan base on streaming platforms. These films offer more than suspense; they bring slice-of-life narratives, emotional depth, and light-hearted humor that resonate with a wide audience.

One such recent addition to OTT is the Malayalam film Parivar, a comedy-emotional drama now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. It beautifully captures the complexities of family relationships with wit and emotional depth.

Parivar presents an entertaining take on familial ties, especially in a world where emotional bonds are often replaced by material priorities. The story reflects on how traditional values like love, intimacy, and sacrifice are being overshadowed by greed and selfishness in modern society.

Set against this backdrop, the film follows 90-year-old Bhaskara Pillai and his four sons who arent concerned about their ailing fathers health, but are fixated on the diamond ring he wears. The narrative unfolds with their scheming plans, humorous situations, and emotional revelations all culminating in a story filled with laughter and a strong message about human nature and relationships.

Released in theatres on March 7, Parivar is now available for streaming on Amazon Prime from the 24th of this month. If you missed it in cinemas, now is the perfect time to enjoy this heartwarming film from the comfort of your home.

Why Malayalam Films Are Winning the OTT Game

Indian veteran player Virat Kohli said goodbye to T20 Internationals in 2024. Soon after, he shocked fans again by announcing his retirement from Test cricket in May 2025. Now, former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly has weighed in on the decision, saying, "Retirement should happen only when people ask why? Not why not?"

According to former BCCI President Sourav Ganguly, Kohlis decision to retire from Test cricket was entirely his own. Kohli had informed the BCCI about his retirement on 12 May, just four days before making it public. While the BCCI did request him to reconsider, Kohli stood firm. Ganguly acknowledged that everything has an end, and emphasized that the choice was voluntary and free of external pressure.

A Historic Career Comes to a Close

Its worth noting that Kohli and Ganguly shared a professional relationship during their time with Team India, where Kohli captained while Ganguly served as BCCI President. Kohli had returned to domestic cricket, playing for Delhi in the Ranji Trophy, before announcing his retirement.

Iran's ambassador to India said Tehran's attacks on US military bases in Qatar and Iraq were unprecedented and warned President Donald Trump that it would not hesitate to do so again. In a hard-hitting interview with India Today, Dr. Iraj Elahi said Iran had anticipated US entry into its conflict with Israel and had prepared accordingly. "No country in history has targeted US military bases. Iran has done it. You can count it as a symbolic response, but if the US repeats this illegal action, it will get the same answer," the Iranian envoy said.

Iran fired missiles at US airbases in Qatar and Iraq

Iran on Monday fired missiles at US airbases in Qatar and Iraq in retaliation for attacks on its three major nuclear sites on Saturday.

However, Dr. Elahi made it clear that Iran was prepared to respond decisively to any further Israeli action. "(Benjamin) Netanyahu is not credible. He launched a military aggression against Iran and he also targeted residential areas, ambulances, hospitals."

Iran is a member of the NPT

They did not pay heed to international or humanitarian laws. We are ready to respond to any Israeli action. Israel justified its June 13 attack on Iran by claiming that it was very close to acquiring nuclear weapons and considered it an existential threat. However, Dr. Elahi stressed that Tehran is a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and has no nuclear weapons. He further said that Iran is a member of the NPT. Iran has no nuclear weapons. The illegal regime in Israel has attacked Iran on the pretext that Iran has enriched uranium. This is ridiculous. Israel is affecting the stability of the region.
