# Prakambanam OTT Release: Get Ready for Spooky Laughs on ZEE5! Imagine three college buddies accidentally inhaling grandma's ashes during a secret ritual—chaos, comedy, and chills ensue. That's the wild ride of **Prakambanam**, the Malayalam horror-comedy that's taken 2026 by storm, and it's finally heading to OTT![1][2][3] This surprise hit, directed by Vijesh Panathur and starring **Ganapathi** as Sidhu, **Sagar Surya** as Punyalan, and Al Ameen as Shankaran, blends hostel rivalries, politics, and impulsive antics into a hilarious horror fest.[2][4][6] Released in theaters on January 30, 2026, the film ran for 128 minutes of U/A-rated fun, grossing over Rs 20 crore worldwide on a modest Rs 5 crore budget—proving small stories can pack a massive punch.[1][3][4] Critics loved its shift from eerie openings to boozy bromance in a Kochi men's hostel, where a botched salvation ritual sparks non-stop laughs and thrills.[4][6] Now, after a strong theatrical run (including a 61.9% box office jump on day 23 to Rs 34 lakh), **Prakambanam** is primed for its digital debut on **ZEE5**.[1][3] While no exact date is confirmed, reports point to an early March 2026 streaming start—perfect timing as its theater stint wraps up.[1][2][4] Director Vijesh even teased a sequel, saying fan demand has him excited, though his next action fantasy comes first.[1]
