Chosen from Malayalam-language films available to stream on Netflix in India as of October 1, 2026, using TMDB and JustWatch availability data.

Catalogues change, so we re-check availability monthly and replace titles that leave; each card shows the current availability for your selected region.
Movie facts and community ratings come from TMDB. Streaming information is provided by JustWatch through TMDB and varies by country. Missing availability means no option was returned by the provider; it does not prove a film is unavailable everywhere. Dates above refer to editorial updates.
