Mathew Thomas and Arjun Ashokan’s latest film, Bromance, hit theaters earlier this year, coinciding with Valentine’s Day.

Now, months after its theatrical success, this youthful Malayalam entertainer is ready to drop on OTT.
Directed by Arun D. Jose, Bromance follows the story of two brother’s, Binto and Shinto. While Shinto is a no-nonsense stock market trader, Binto is a carefree Gen Z lad who lives for likes and follows. But when Shinto mysteriously disappears, Binto is forced to step up and navigate the real world.

The supporting cast, including Kalabhavan Shajohn, Binu Pappu, and Sangeeth Prathap of Premalu fame which further brings plenty of comic punch to this rollercoaster ride.
The film was appreciated for its comedy timing and the chemistry among the young cast. While some critics pointed out the script’s loose ends and slightly over-the-top moments. The Times of India gave it a 2.5/5, stating, “If you put together a bunch of popular young actors, you are bound to get some fun comedy, thanks to their chemistry. Bromance works on this principle, but with a weak story.”
The review further added, “However, the story and the jokes don’t work all the time, and you are faced with quite a few cringe moments. All the actors have a good chemistry, but the characters are not strongly written and could get a bit annoying, like with Mathew’s peculiar rage issue, which is taken over the top. Overall, this is a film that could click with the youth.”
