The announcement of Painkili, featuring Sajin Gopu and Anaswara Rajan, captured significant attention. In addition to the prominent actors, fans were particularly thrilled that Sreejith Babu’s directorial debut was penned by Jithu Madhavan, known for his work on Aavesham.

Despite the initial excitement and the film receiving a mix of positive and moderate reviews, the pre-release buzz did not translate into a successful theatrical run. Nearly two months post its release, Painkili is poised for its highly anticipated OTT debut on Manorama Max on April 11, 2025. Here are the compelling reasons to watch this Malayalam film starring Anaswara Rajan and Sajin Gopu on OTT.

Painkili on Manorama Max

Painkili stars Sajin Gopu and Anaswara Rajan

A significant advantage of Painkili lies in the presence of two exceptional actors, Sajin Gopu and Anaswara Rajan, in the leading roles. Anaswara Rajan has consistently demonstrated her ability to seamlessly embody various characters, as evidenced by her performances in well-received films like Super Sharanya and Neru. Conversely, Sajin Gopu gained recognition for his outstanding portrayal of Amban in the successful film Aavesham, directed by Fahadh Faasil.

Quirky plot

Suku voluntarily admits himself to a mental asylum to escape a crisis, while Sheeba is persistently searching for a chance to run away. What unfolds when the paths of Suku and Sheeba intersect? Sreejith Babu’s debut film guarantees a wealth of humor as Sheeba steps into Suku's life.

Jithu Madhavan’s script

Jithu Madhavan has made a significant impact in the film industry following the success of his debut directorial venture, Romancham, which performed exceptionally well at the box office. He raised the bar even higher with his direction of the action comedy featuring Fahadh Faasil, which became a major success. It is worth mentioning that both Romancham and Aavesham were penned by Madhavan himself. In Painkili, humor remains a central theme as Jithu Madhavan infuses the characters and scenarios with unique quirks, resulting in an exaggerated comedic tone.

Painkili songs

An additional captivating aspect of the film is its soundtrack, which mirrors the quirky essence of Painkili. The track ‘Baby Baby’, created by Justin Varghese, has gained significant popularity among audiences. This lively song features Anaswara Rajan showcasing her dance skills and is performed by Lalitha Vijayakumar, Himna Hilari, and Hinitha Hilary. Other notable tracks include ‘Heart Attack’ and ‘Lock’.

If you find yourself weary of the typical thriller films that have dominated the Malayalam cinema landscape lately, consider watching Painkili on OTT next week.
