Mirage OTT release date: When, where to watch Asif Ali, Aparna Balamurali’s thriller online

Drishyam director Jeethu Joseph’s latest Malayalam thriller Mirage, which had him teaming up with Asif Ali after Kooman, is all set to begin streaming in October 2025. The movie, which hit theatres on September 19, also has Aparna Balamurali, Hannah Reji Koshy and Hakkim Shajahan as part of the cast.

Though the movie failed to make a mark at the box office after its theatrical release, the makers would be hoping that it gets a second lease of life after its OTT release on Sony LIV on October 20.

The thriller, which is co-scripted by Srinivasan Abrol and the director based on a story by Aparna R Tarakad, had completed shoot earlier this year. Asif Ali essays the role of an investigative journalist in the movie, which revolves around Aparna Balamurali’s character Abhirami trying to uncover the secrets that her fiance Kiran had apparently kept hidden before he was killed in a train accident.

Hakkim plays the role of Kiran in the movie, which also has Sampath, Deepak Parambol and former Bigg Boss Malayalam runner-up Arjun Syam Gopan essaying pivotal characters. The movie could also appeal to the Tamil audience as it has a story set in Tamil Nadu and the characters speak the language for an extended period of time in the Malayalam movie.

Reasons to watch Mirage on OTT

Though the general consensus is that it’s among the weakest thrillers helmed by Jeethu Joseph, who had also directed Neru and Memories, it’s still packed with twists and turns that could keep the audience entertained, especially in the second half.

Both Asif and Aparna had previously teamed up in Kishkinda Kaandam, which is currently streaming on JioHotstar available via OTTplay Premium, and the duo once again doesn’t disappoint with their performances in Mirage — as much as the writing allows them to.
