The Malayalam horror-comedy Prakambanam, which received a warm response from audiences during its theatrical run, has now arrived on OTT. The 2026 film, starring Ganapathi and Sagar Surya, is currently streaming on Zee5 and OTTplay Premium.
Directed by Vijesh Panathur, Prakambanam features Ganapathi, Sagar Surya and Al Ameen in the lead, playing a trio of carefree college seniors. Set largely inside a bustling college hostel, the film captures the easy camaraderie, petty rivalries and playful chaos that define campus life as the final-year students spend their last days together.
