After the COVID days, particularly after Minnal Murali, the masses realised one crucial fact. It states that the Malayalam film industry produces gems. The industry has been consistent in delivering high quality content and it has been doing so for quite some time. It is only recently that the rest of the country started acknowledging their value.
One such movie that deserves all the praise is Athiran. The film stars Fahadh Faasil along with Sai Pallavi. It is a film that explores many aspects, like dysfunctional relationships, paranormal stuff, and more. The movie has an impeccable screenplay coupled with brilliant performances.
Thus, it is raking in a great number of views after 6 years. It is topping the charts on Disney+Hotstar and emerging as one of the most powerful forces on the platform. We suggest that if you have not watched it then you must.
But there are some natural questions too. What happened to the usual slate of Disney+Hotstar?
It used to be filled with new releases that would pull masses. But it is not the case over here. They hardly have any exciting releases apart from All We Imagine As Light and Sookshmdarshini. The Hindi slate looks totally empty and it is worrisome.
If films released months or even years ago are the usual features of the trending list at Disney+Hotstar, then it is something that the platform must work upon.
They are still one of the most powerful platforms in India and it is time they start working on their content.
