In addition, another standout is Thudarum, a Malayalam family thriller starring Mohanlal and Shobhana. Released on May 30, 2025, it struck a chord with audiences through its emotional storytelling and realistic performances. Consequently, the film became one of the most-watched of the season.
Meanwhile, regional hits like Premalu, Naa Sami Ranga, and Manjummel Boys also gained traction. Each brought something unique: a sweet romance, a lively Telugu entertainer, and a survival thriller set in Kodaikanal. Together, they strengthened the platform’s regional library.
On the international front, Disney’s Snow White arrived on June 11, 2025. Starring Gal Gadot and Rachel Zegler, this live-action musical reimagined the classic fairy tale. Not only did it offer nostalgia, but it also delivered stunning visuals and modern themes of empowerment.
