Mirage on OTT: Why to stream Jeethu Joseph’s latest thriller film online

Hit Malayalam filmmaker Jeethu Joseph’s latest venture, Mirage, stars Asif Ali along with Aparna Balamurali in the lead role. Yet another thriller from the Drishyam director, the film is set to make its OTT premiere on SonyLiv via OTTplay Premium on October 19, 2025. Ahead of Mirage’s OTT release, let’s take a look at some of the reasons why you should watch Jeethu Joseph’s latest thriller film online.

Why watch Mirage on OTT

Jeethu Joseph thriller

The first reason why anyone would be interested in this 2025 Malayalam film is that it is helmed by Jeethu Joseph, who is the brain behind the hugely popular Drishyam films with Mohanlal in the lead. There are seldom few directors who can craft a thriller the way he does. Like Drishyam films, Mirage also holds a twist in the third act that turns the entire narrative up until then.

Mysterious plot

Director Jeethu has also co-written the screenplay with Srinivasan Abrol. The film revolves around Abhirami who has received distressing news about her fiance Kiran going missing. Even as she tries to find out what happened to him, she is approached by different people seeking something that Kiran apparently had. The more she tries to make sense of things, the more complicated it gets. Aswin, an online journalist, too joins her in the pursuit. If you are intrigued by mysterious plots with compelling characters, then Mirage would not be a bad choice this Diwali weekend.

Asif Ali-Aparna Balamurali combo

Mirage marks yet another combination of Asif Ali and Aparna Balamurali, who have been part of several popular films, including the 2024 hit Kishkindha Kaandam, another mystery thriller. The actors once again complement each other as they strive to bring out the best performance on screen. Not just Asif Ali and Aparna, the film also features fine performances from actors Hakim Shahjahan, Hannah Reji Koshy and Deepak Parambol.
