The Malayalam film Soothravakyam, once caught in controversy, is now earning headlines for all the right reasons. Scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on July 4, 2025, the film will also see a Telugu-language release, expanding its reach to a much broader audience across South India.
Early screenings held for select journalists and cinephiles have sparked excitement, with critics praising the film’s bold narrative, compelling performances, and immersive direction. Most notably, several reviewers—known for their stringent scoring—gave the film a high 4.1/5 rating, signaling its strength in storytelling and emotional depth.
A major draw in the film is Shine Tom Chacko, already familiar to Telugu audiences through his impactful roles in Dasara and Daku Maharaj. His role in Soothravakyam is being celebrated as a career highlight, especially meaningful as it follows personal setbacks, including a recent car accident. His performance in the film is said to carry a deep emotional undercurrent, adding to the film’s powerful tone.
This film comes at a crucial time in Shine’s life, following a recent personal setback due to an accident and the loss of his father. The emotional intensity he brings to the screen is already drawing praise from critics and fans alike.
Adding fuel to the buzz, the film has also secured a major OTT deal even before release, making it one of the rare Malayalam films to lock in pre-release business. This strategic move indicates both confidence in the film’s content and growing demand for strong regional cinema across digital platforms.
With both Malayalam and Telugu audiences eagerly awaiting its release, Soothravakyam stands poised to become a surprise hit driven by genuine storytelling, strong performances, and positive word of mouth, produced on Cinema Bandi Banner and Directed by Eugene Jos Charmel and Produced by Srikanth Kandragula.
