Cinema VinesMalayalam crime thriller "Unmadham" will soon move from the big screen to the big screen of your living room. The film, which hit theatres on 31 July 2026, is slated to debut on the streaming platform SonyLIV on 4 September 2026, giving audiences a chance to catch the story if they missed its limited theatrical run.
Directed by Kiran Das and written by Shahi Kabir, the narrative follows Shelly, a civil police officer stationed at a remote post. Shelly’s personal life is in turmoil as he seeks a transfer, prompting him to take on a decades‑old missing‑person case. As the investigation unfolds, he encounters a series of events that blur the line between reality and superstition, creating a tense and unpredictable plot.
The film stars Kunchacko Boban in the lead role, with Lijomol Jose, Siddique, Krishna Prabha, Vishak Nair, Sudheesh, Sabumon Abdusamad, and Kottayam Nazeer supporting him. Cinematography is handled by Arjun Sethu, while Kiran Das also shares editing duties with Jithin John.
Music for "Unmadham" is a joint effort by Mujeeb Majeed and Justin Varghese, who composed both the songs and the original score. Production credits go to Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak under Panorama Studios and T‑Series Films, with Ram Mirchandani and Rajesh Menon listed as co‑producers.
After its theatrical release, the film will be available on SonyLIV in Malayalam, and will also be dubbed in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi, broadening its reach across South India and beyond. Fans of the genre can look forward to a digital premiere just a little over a month after the movie’s first theatrical showing.
