Pet Detective (Zee5 – November 28)

Zee5 is set to stream ‘Pet Detective’, a full-blown comedy reminiscent of old-school slapstick entertainers. Although the film didn’t make a huge splash at the box office, it gained positive word-of-mouth for its quirky humour and light-hearted narrative.

The film is powered by technical contributions from Anand C Chandran (cinematography), Abhinav Sundar Nayak (editing) and Rajesh Murugesan (music).

Dies Irae (JioHotstar – Streaming This Month)

Another major addition expected this month is ‘Dies Irae’, directed by Rahul Sadashivan and led by Pranav Mohanlal. Although the exact streaming date has not been officially announced, the film is expected to arrive on JioHotstar before the end of November.

A massive box-office success, ‘Dies Irae’ grossed over ₹50 crore and is the highest-earning film in Sadashivan’s career. The cast also includes Jibin Gopinath, Shine Tom Chacko and others, with Shehnad Jaleel serving as cinematographer, Shafiq Mohammed handling the edit and Christo Xavier composing the score. If you’re a fan of intense, atmospheric Malayalam thrillers, this one should be on your radar.
