Mammootty and Jyothika’s acclaimed Malayalam drama Kaathal – The Core has shifted from Prime Video to ZEE5. Released in theaters in November 2023, the film received good reviews and achieved success at the box office.
After 42 days of its theatrical release, the film was available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video starting January 5, 2024. Kaathal – The Core is now available on ZEE5.
Platform Shifts Common in Digital Streaming
Movies shifting between OTT platforms due to licensing agreements and digital rights management is becoming common. Dhanush’s Thiruchitrambalam is one example — it initially streamed on SunNXT but later moved to Prime Video.
In Kaathal – The Core, Mammootty plays a closeted gay man compelled to come out and embrace self-acceptance after his wife Omana (Jyothika) files for divorce. Directed by Jeo Baby, the film also features Sudhi Kozhikode, Pooja Mohanraj, and RS Panickar.
