Starring actress Navya Nair in the lead role of a cop, the Malayalam film Paathirathri is yet to make its OTT release, though it hit theatres in October 2025. The cop drama film, which also stars Soubin Shahir, was earlier reported to be heading to Manorama Max. But OTTplay has learned that Paathirathri will drop on Zee5 (OTTplay Premium) instead, though it will not land this week.
Paathirathri, directed by Ratheena PT, was released in theatres on October 17, 2025. The film, which depicted the lives of a senior woman police officer and a junior cop, opened to mixed reviews and had a forgettable box office run. Though the film was rumoured to have locked its OTT partner, there was no official update on Paathirathri’s digital debut.
