Prime Video India has just released a new Malayalam film on its platform this weekend. The film is titled Philip’s, and it is now streaming on OTT, just in time to deliver a fuzzy and warm watch for a cold, lazy Sunday.
Malayalam film ‘Philip’s’ premiered in theatres on 1st December, 2023. But it seems to have slipped under the radar of most theatre-goers, caught in the high-octane cacophony of Bollywood films, Animal and Sam Bahadur. Nevertheless, thanks to OTT, you’ve got another chance to watch the film. Philip’s is now streaming on Prime Video, and you mustn’t miss watching it this time.
Philip’s is a family drama, full of emotions and feel-good moments, designed to warm the cockles of your heart. Directed by Alfred Kurian Joseph in his directorial debut, the film stars Mukesh in the title role, alongside Noble Babu Thomas and Charle. The film also marks the final appearance of beloved actor Innocent, who passed away in March last year.
The simple plot, inspired by real events, promises a tale of poignant reality, deftly wrapped in humour. The story follows a family that is suddenly struck by an unforeseen incident. Do they manage to overcome the problem and stick together at the end of the ordeal; or does the family fall apart at the end of it? What happens during the course of the film and the end will leave you with a goofy smile on your face.
Audiences who’ve watched the film have called it an emotionally uplifting tale with its heart in the right place. The Mukesh-Innocent combo is a treat to watch in Philip’s, while the showreel tribute to Innocent at the end is heartening and poignant.
Philip’s is a lovely watch which should appeal to viewers of every age – the old, the young, and also to those who are young at heart. It’ll brighten your Sunday, and imbue you with warm positivity. Watch it, and get the most out of its distinctly feel-good flavour.
