Joju George stars as Paulson, better known as Polachan, who returns to his high-range hometown after spending years away.

Polachan’s presence also reopens old wounds and brings him face-to-face with powerful people connected to unresolved events from his past. Directed by Shaji Kailas, the action thriller also stars Arjun Ashokan, Saniya Iyappan, Murali Gopy, Vani Viswanath and Deepak Parambol.

Prince of Mollywood (Malayalam)
OTT Release Date: September 11, 2026
Where to Watch: JioHotstar
Firoz has little interest in taking the comfortable path offered by his family’s successful business.

His attempts to break into the industry lead to a string of comic problems as ambition, family expectations and the unpredictable world of cinema collide. Dain Davis plays Firoz, alongside Vidhya Vijayakumar, Nirmal Palazhi, Harishma, Fukru and Aswin Vijayan.
Magudam (Tamil)
OTT Release Date: September 11, 2026
Where to Watch: Prime Video
Magudam explores the fractured relationship between a father and son whose very different lives become connected again after a devastating incident. The story moves between the rise of Lingappa, or Linga, who builds a powerful empire in Visakhapatnam, and his estranged son Kirubakaran’s quieter middle-class existence. When tragedy shakes Kiruba’s family, Linga is drawn back into his son’s world and their complicated history resurfaces.
