A few highly anticipated films, including Bazooka and Barroz, saw their October release dates pushed back for a variety of reasons. For movie buffs, it will not be a dismal month though, as several other films are being released this month. 

Malayalam theatrical releases in October 2024

Bougainvillea (October 17)

Director - Amal Neerad

Cast - Kunchacko Boban, Fahadh Faasil, Jyothirmayi and Veena Nandakumar

Ever since the crew and actors of the movie were revealed, Bougainvillaea has been in the limelight. With Fahadh playing a guest part and Sharaf U Dheen supposedly cast as the film's protagonist, Kunchacko is likely to play a role with a negative undertone. Following a protracted hiatus, Jyothirmayi is returning to movies after a hiatus with this film.

Oru Kattil Oru Muri (October 4)

Director - Shanavas K Bavakutty

Cast - Hakkim Shajahan, Priyamvada Krishnan, and Poornima Indrajith

Based on the teaser and trailer, Poornima Indrajith's character seems fixated with a cot, on which she claims she slept with her spouse for seven months. Furthermore, Priyamvada's character may be seen renting Poornima's house, while Hakkim Shajahan plays a taxi driver. Overall, it appears to be an engaging tale with a few impressive performances.

Pushpaka Vimanam (October 4)

Director - Ullas Krishna

Cast - Siju Wilson, Balu Varghese, Dheeraj Denny, Siddique, Manoj K U, and Lena

The two young characters who find themselves in a dangerous race against time are first introduced to viewers in the teaser for the movie. The main premise of the film comes across as enthusiastic, but the promo has a somewhat distinct storytelling style and camera work that is guaranteed to appeal to the audience. 

Pathimoonnam Rathri

Director - Maneesh Babu

Cast - Shine Tom Chacko, Vishnu Unnikrishnan, Vijay Babu, and Deepak Parambol

Pathimoonnam Rathri looks to be a suspenseful thriller that delves into the darker sides of human nature. The trailer describes how, on New Year's Eve, a few unrelated people meet in Kochi and set off on a series of events that transform their lives. There seems to be a tensed atmosphere in the film.
