Hridayapoorvam, the new Malayalam drama directed by Sathyan Anthikad and led by superstar Mohanlal, has finally hit cinemas on August 28, 2025. Along with its theatrical debut, the film’s digital streaming partner has also been confirmed, giving fans clarity on where they can catch it after its big screen run.

Hridayapoorvam OTT Partner Revealed

The film will be available on JioHotstar, and subscribers of OTTplay Premium will also get access once the theatrical window closes. This follows the same pattern as Mohanlal’s earlier 2025 releases, Empuraan and Thudarum, both of which made their way to the same platform within four weeks of release.

Story and Cast

In Hridayapoorvam, Mohanlal plays Sandeep, a man in his 40s who has recently undergone a heart transplant. His journey takes him to Pune, where he attends the engagement of his donor’s daughter. What begins as a simple visit unfolds into a series of emotional events. The film also stars Malavika Mohanan as the female lead and Sangeeth Prathap of Premalu fame in a significant role.

Why This Release Matters

• Marks the reunion of Mohanlal and Sathyan Anthikad after nearly a decade, following their 2015 film Ennum Epozhum.

• Third theatrical release of Mohanlal in 2025, after Thudarum and the record-breaking Empuraan.

• Part of a packed Onam 2025 line-up, which also features Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra starring Kalyani Priyadarshan, Fahadh Faasil’s Odum Kuthira Chaadum Kuthira, and Maine Pyar Kiya with Preity Mukhundhan and Hridhu Haroon.

Streaming Timeline

While an exact date has not been announced, industry trends suggest Hridayapoorvam is likely to arrive on JioHotstar around four weeks after its theatrical release, similar to Empuraan and Thudarum.

Outlook

With strong audience anticipation and the proven combination of Mohanlal and Sathyan Anthikad, Hridayapoorvam is expected to perform well both at the box office and on streaming platforms. The presence of rising star Sangeeth Prathap adds further freshness to the ensemble, making it one of the most talked-about Malayalam films of the season.
