Malayalam Movies and Web Series Releasing on August 28, 2026: Check Cast and OTT Platforms
Malayalam entertainment has a relatively lighter release slate on Friday, August 28, 2026, with the major Malayalam OTT premieres arriving earlier in the week. Pluto began streaming on Saina Play on August 24, while I, Nobody premiered on JioHotstar on August 25.
For audiences specifically looking for new Malayalam content on August 28, there does not appear to be a major Malayalam-language theatrical film or Malayalam original web series with a confirmed premiere on that exact Friday in the latest release schedules available. However, several Malayalam titles are already streaming this week and remain among the key options for the weekend.

Malayalam Web Series
As of the latest available release schedules, no major Malayalam-language original web series has a confirmed premiere on August 28, 2026.
One title that may appear in broader South Indian OTT lists is Aakali Rajyam, but it is a Telugu-language series, not a Malayalam original, and therefore has not been included in the Malayalam list.
Upcoming Malayalam OTT Release
Unmadham
While Unmadham is not an August 28 release, Malayalam OTT viewers should note that the Kunchacko Boban-starrer is scheduled to arrive on SonyLIV on September 6, 2026.
The investigative thriller features Kunchacko Boban and Lijomol Jose in prominent roles and marks editor Kiran Das's directorial debut.
Star Cast: Kunchacko Boban, Lijomol Jose
