Maranamass OTT release date: When, where to stream film
The dark comedy revolves around a group of people who find themselves in a tricky situation inside a bus with a body and a serial killer. How they plan to dispose of the body and ward off the threat of the killer on the loose forms the plot.

But what truly makes Maranamass entertaining are its quirky characters. Basil plays the part of a toxic social media influencer, who pursues his ex after she turns him down. Suresh Krishna and Siju Sunny portray a bus driver and conductor, respectively – but their situation becomes more complicated in the comedy as the former is about to get married soon, while the conductor is still on the quest for his father, who left him when he was a child. Amid all this is a serial killer, who murders elderly people and puts a banana inside their mouths. As police scramble to track down the elusive killer, the diverse group must dispose of a body.
Is Basil Joseph the first choice for dark comedies?
Incidentally, this is the third dark comedy that Basil has participated in over the last year. He previously appeared in Jeethu Joseph’s Nunakkuzhi and Sreeraj Sreenivasan’s Pravinkoodu Shappu. The latter was also acquired by Sony LIV, which is preparing to start streaming Bromance from May 1. You can view Bromance, Pravinkoodu Shappu, and Maranamass with an OTTplay Premium subscription.
