With much anticipation for its digital release, fans were looking forward to the release date announcement for Asif Ali’s Kishkindha Kaandam on Hotstar. While some were thinking the release date around December, Hotstar has shocked the fans with its digital release set for November 19th in Malayalam, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, and Tamil.
The film had huge box office success regionally as it was in theatres for more than two months. Widely gaining several praises for the film, it will also be screened at the International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK) in Thiruvananthapuram. While the film outperformed everyone’s expectations with its theatrical success, the same is expected for its digital release.
A father-son pair and a woman who enters their lives as the son’s second wife create most of the plot of the movie. The movie centers on how she attempts to solve a mystery involving a missing child and a handgun while coping with her father-in-law’s gradual mental health decline. Viewers praised the film for its well-developed plot and fitting conclusion.
The film also stars Vijayaraghavan and Aparna Balamurali in prominent roles alongside Asif Ali. After earning more than 75 crores at the box office, the film is all set to take over the OTT space with Hotstar. The makers have wisely chosen the platform given its wide reach and large amount of users. It all comes down to November 19th as Kishkindha Kaandam makes its way into the OTT sphere only on Disney+Hotstar.
