Aroopi OTT Release: Vysakh Ravi’s folklore horror-thriller movie is streaming online on ‘This’ platform

Aroopi OTT Release: Blending Kerala folklore horror with 21st-century modern storytelling, Aroopi, the Malayalam thriller flick, was released in theatres a few months back. Written and directed by Abhilash Warrier, the Vysakh Ravi starrer film hit the cinemas on July 3, 2026, surrounded by modest hype around its premiere. However, despite the buzz, the movie fell short of meeting fans’ expectations and didn’t fare well with the cinemagoers, due to several reasons, including its minimal appeal and small screen count.

From Day 1 itself, Aroopi’s destiny as a massive flop became crystal clear after it witnessed a mere 15% audience occupancy for its shows. In the coming days, footfalls took an even bigger dive, reaching almost 10% before the movie eventually found itself earning just Rs 30,000 per day after the first weekend.

As expected, the inevitable happened, and the supernatural horror flick got removed from the screens in no time, going down as one of the biggest setbacks the Malayalam industry has seen this year. Later, with the hopes of reaching an accepting audience and turning around its fortunes, the film was rolled out on a popular streaming platform where you can currently enjoy it online right from the comfort of your home.

Couldn’t watch Aroopi on the big screens? Check out the film now on Lionsgate Play, where it started streaming online on August 14, 2026. However, it is important to note that one will need a subscription to the platform’s services to enjoy the psychological horror drama online.

Cast and Production Besides Vysakj Ravi, Aroopi also features Neha Chawla, Sakshi Badala, Joy Mathew, Sindhu Varma, Kiran Raj, and Adithya Raj in its main cast. The film is produced by Pradeep Raj under the banner of Punartham Productions.
