Thudarum, which had faced challenges in terms of its OTT right pre-release, hit theatres without much hype. But right from its first day, the film enjoyed a golden run, with it recovering Rs 100 Cr from Kerala box office alone - a feat that has not been achieved by any Malayalam film so far. The film, which also has Binu Pappu, Thomas Mathew and Maniyanpilla Raju in pivotal roles, went on to gross over Rs 200 Cr at global box office.

Thudarum will drop on JioHotstar on May 30 in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and Kannada. L2: Empuraan’s OTT rights were also bagged by JioHotstar earlier this year.
