Basil Joseph's latest mystery thriller, Pravinkoodu Shappu, has officially premiered on SonyLiv and OTTplay Premium, much to the anticipation of viewers. This Malayalam film, which features notable performances from Soubin Shahir and Chemban Vinod Jose, was released on digital platforms a day earlier than initially scheduled. Here are further details about Basil Joseph's film, which explores a gripping murder mystery.

Pravinkoodu Shappu is now available on OTTplay Premium

Starring Basil Joseph as a police officer, Pravinkoodu Shappu debuted in theaters on January 16, 2025. Almost two months later, the film, directed by Sreeraj Sreenivasan, has made its way to SonyLiv and OTTplay Premium. Notably, Pravinkoodu Shappu became accessible for streaming on April 10, 2025, despite the OTT platform's announcement of an April 11 release date.

SonyLiv appears to be adopting the strategy of 'early release', particularly with Malayalam films. Recent examples include Unni Mukundan's Marco, Joju George's Pani, and Asif Ali's successful Rekhachithram, all of which premiered a day ahead of their scheduled OTT release dates. However, this has not drawn any complaints; fans are simply pleased to have the opportunity to view Basil Joseph's film a day earlier.

For those who do not speak Malayalam, Pravinkoodu Shappu is available in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada, complete with English subtitles. Basil Joseph's film explores a murder mystery involving the death of a toddy shop owner, leading CI Santhosh to investigate a case with eleven potential suspects.
