This Asif Ali film revolves around a newly-married couple, with the husband facing allegations of domestic abuse. As the issue is taken up in court, Sahadevan makes a strong case of 'not all men’. Sethunath Padmakumar has written and helmed this film, which could stir up more reactions and debates upon its OTT release. Whether you agree or disagree with the makers' POV, Aabhyanthara Kuttavaali deserves a watch.

Another Asif Ali film, but the one that takes a thriller route. Abhirami’s world is shaken after her fiancé Kiran is said to have met with a tragic end.

If you are tired of thrillers and mysteries, then opt for Mehfil, which is about a beautiful musical evening. The real-life tale of Mullassery Raju and his wife is depicted in the film, helmed by noted director Jayaraj. Another movie was made based on Mullassery Raju’s life - Devasuram, with Mohanlal bringing to life the iconic character of Mangalassery Neelakandan. But compared to the commercial elements of the 1993 film, Mehfil promises to be a quiet exploration of the once-feudal lord’s life.
