When we dropped last week's recommendation on Indian OTT platforms, there was Kunchacko Boban's Nizhal, which will air on Amazon Prime Video tomorrow. But the list was notable for the absence of another Kunchacko Boban actor, Nayattu. In fact, it has been broadcast in India since yesterday. We couldn't include it in our list because its release date was announced quite late on Saturday. But despite the late announcement and general lack of fanfare that a film of its nature deserved, Nayattu has proven to be a box office hit on the OTT platform, as critics and fans alike can't help but sneak up on it. which had its theatrical release just in April. 8. It has already been said that it is one of the best releases of 2021, and yes, we are still at the beginning of the fifth month of the year.
But where is Nayattu broadcast and how to watch it?
Nayattu, which means The Hunt in Malayalam, is a genre-defying film. It's a thriller, it's a police procedural, it's a moving tale of middle-class dim dreams, it's a scathing commentary on India's caste politics. But everything is woven into a single organic thread. History clearly shows how individuals are rendered useless in the face of political machinations and how amoral politicians can wreak havoc in ways they have no idea. Nayattu is directed by Martin Prakkat from the screenplay by Shahi Kabir. Apart from Kunchako Boban, the film also stars Joju George, Nimisha Sajayan, Jaffar Idukki, Anil Nedumangad and Harikrishnan. Joju George's performance as a middle-aged cop is the real star of the movie. It is streaming on Netflix India. Originally, it was planned to broadcast from yesterday on a platform targeting Indians abroad. Some last minute changes ensured that it was available on Netflix India even from yesterday. Netflix, which takes India seriously, had a winner with Nayattu. Recently, Netflix announced its biggest slate for India. As part of its 2021 content list, the platform has lined up 41 titles in the genres of movies, series, comedy, documentaries, and reality. India is among the cheapest countries in the world to get a Netflix subscription, not even considering the mobile-only plan. Netflix is working on pricing experiments in India. Its new Rs 299 basic plan, which allows subscribers to watch their shows and movies in high definition (HD) on just one mobile phone, tablet or computer screen at a time, has worked to some extent. Its existing entry-level plan, priced at Rs 499, also supports TV viewing, while its Rs 199 mobile-only plan only supports standard definition (SD) content. India is the only country where it offers a mobile-only plan.
