Released Movies Malayalam Sci-fi 2026 May 2026

Art-house sci-fi. Divisive, hallucinatory, and unforgettable.

Not anymore.

₹45 crore (but trending heavily on OTT) 3. "Njan AI" (I, AI) (Released: March 27, 2026) Director: Geetu Mohandas Cast: Tovino Thomas, Asif Ali, Aishwarya Lekshmi released movies malayalam sci-fi 2026

Why It Worked: The film brilliantly juxtaposes the cold vacuum of space with the humid, crowded chaos of suburban Kochi. Fahadh’s trademark micro-expressions shine as he negotiates with a rogue AI that sounds eerily like a passive-aggressive Malayali bureaucrat. A tight, claustrophobic thriller that asks: What if your Alexa decided to unionize? Art-house sci-fi

The Plot: In a psychedelic, dystopian Vennila (a fictional district in northern Kerala), a memory-wiping cult has convinced the populace that emotions are a virus. Mammootty, in a career-defining role as a silent "Memory Smuggler," hides forbidden feelings inside antique urulis (bronze vessels). Vinayakan plays a neural-surgeon-turned-warlord who feeds on harvested nostalgia. ₹45 crore (but trending heavily on OTT) 3

Producer Santhosh Kuruvilla notes: "For years, producers said ‘Malayalis don’t buy tickets for spaceships.’ But 2026 proved that if you tell a human story—even one set on Mars or inside a server—we will come. We just want the naadan soul to remain intact."
