Mammootty’s Kannur Squad (2023), after its successful run in theatres, is all set for its OTT release. The movie will be premiered on Disney+ Hotstar on 17 November.
Kannur Squad was released on 28 September with fewer promotions. However, the Mammootty-starrer entered the ₹100-crore club after one month of its release.
Directed by debutant Roby David Raj, the movie won good reviews from audiences and critics.
It faced tough competition from the Tamil movie Leo (2023) which collected over ₹56 crore from the Kerala box office, thereby beating all records for a non-Malayalam film.
Similarly, Romancham (2023), 2018: Everyone is a Hero (2023), and RDX (2023) entered the ₹100-crore club, though the makers didn’t promote the ventures.
