After around 6 months of waiting the movie is finally up for streaming and the rights are with none other than Zee5. Kunjeldho will start streaming on the platform from July 8th, 2022.
Kunjeldho is basically a love story between college students Kunjeldho and Niveditha. As the couple fall in love and eventually consummate their relationship, they’re in for a shock in the form of an accidental pregnancy. The couple is forced to leave their homes and struggle on their own. They are eventually taken in by a supportive college professor. Will the couple finally win the support and love of their family forms the rest of the story.
Although not a huge success, the film still managed to be a hit at the box office with positive critical reception. Kunjeldho marks Mathukkutty’s directorial debut and he also wrote the story and screenplay himself. The movie is produced by Suvin K Varkey and Prasobh Krishna for their studio Little Big Films. Asif Ali stars as Kunjeldho while Gopika Udayan plays Niveditha. Vineeth Sreenivasan, Siddique and veteran actor Rekha are also a part of the cast. Although the film took way too long to roll on streaming platforms, we’re glad that it’s finally happening.
