Nellikkampampoyil Night Riders OTT Release Date Announcement

Nellikkampoyil Night Riders movie opens in movie theaters on October 24, 2025. Malayalam movies are nowadays made according to a 45-60-day window before they are released digitally. 

Calculate that, and then it is very much late November to mid-December 2025. Reckoning at OTT Ratings, our best opinion? The Nellikkampoyil Night Riders OTT release date will be between the end of November and the first few days of December 2025 Naturally, this schedule may change depending on the theatrical performance, negotiations with streaming services, and whether the producers are willing to eke out any profit out of the theatrical performance. 

However, due to the fact that the box office performance has been relatively small, we would bet on an earlier and not a later OTT release.

Nellikkampoyil Night Riders: Brief Overview

First, let us have the fundamentals in place. Nellikkampoyil Night Riders (also known as Night Riders) is the first film of the director, editor Noufal Abdullah. And honestly? It is not a bad beginning in his first. The movie was released on October 24, 2025, following the September 10 release date as Kantara: Chapter 1 took the place of all the screens.

Here’s the rundown:

• Director: Noufal Abdullah (first time director and experienced editor)

• Duration: 2.5 hours and 5 minutes (125 minutes suspense, laughter, and screams)

What Makes Nellikkampoyil Night Riders Special?

The thing with Mathew Thomas Nellikkampoyil Night Riders is that it does not simply hurl the ghosts at random and claim it a day. The movie is based on Kerala folklore, which is combined into a storyline, which makes the atmosphere comfortable and discompositional. 

The story is set in a fictional village named Nellikkampoyil on the Kerala- Tamil Nadu border in the 1970s and it exploits those old myths that your grandmother was likely to tell you about. Critics have averaged opinions about the performances but the technical departments? Chef’s kiss. The visual effects crew should be given a promotion and the cinematography done by Abhilash Shankar is just the right signs of the spooky village atmosphere. The soundtrack by the music duo Yakzan Gary Pereira and Neha S Nair provides an added OTT element to the horror comedy.

At the box office, the movie started humbly and earned about , 60 lakh on its first day and picking up slowly to about , 2-3 crores throughout its theatrical life. Not blockbuster figures, but good as a first time director in the horror-comedy genre.

Their OTT partner is yet to be announced by the production house of A and H S Productions, but we are also keeping our ears to the ground. The instant there is any formal announcement we will be filling in this space at a rate of faster than you can say Night Riders.

Nellikkampoyil Night Riders Cast and Crew Details

Mathew Thomas stars as Shyam, the lead character who is afraid of the dark (goodbye, make-you-relate). Thomas, who is famous with the emotion of performance in movies such as Thanneer Mathan Dinangal and the breakout hit Premalu, enters the horror-comedy genre with this movie. 

His performance has had mixed reviews with critics admiring his energy but others saw him as losing command of the timings of the jokes. We at OTT Ratings believe that he did a good job in balancing the weakness of a character and his alpha ambitions.

The associated cast consists of:

• Roshan Shanavas (who we adored in Aavesham)
• Meenakshi Unnikrishnan as a love affair of Shyam, Dhanya.
• Sarath Sabha giving a great performance.
• Merin Philip, Abu Salim, Rony David Raj, and others rounding out the ensemble

Nellikkampoyil Night Riders Behind the Camera

It is to the credit of Noufal Abdullah that he decided to venture into a difficult genre in his first film as a director. He is a seasoned editor and adds a certain sensibility to the film in terms of visuals. The mythology of the village is well built by the screenplay of Jyothish M and Sunu AV (who are also authors of Pranayavilasam) despite the fact that the second half is somewhat slow, as mentioned by reviewers.

The 1970s Kerala feel of the movie is best represented by the cinematography of Abuhlash Shankar and the sound-tracks of the film, which is already on its way to making a splash, particularly the songs such as, Kaathal Ponman and Fight the Night.

Nellikkampoyil Night Riders – Plot Synopsis (Spoiler-Free)

Imagine this, a village Nellikkampoyil, which is sleepy, is encircled by ancient myths and superstitions. All is fine and then one starts witnessing strange events at night. Enter Shyam (Mathew Thomas) is a handsome young man pursuing his studies in Bangalore but when he comes home, he discovers the terrors that have taken hold of his village unexplainably.

Nellikkampoyil Night Riders Malayalam film is based on the life of Shyam and his close-knit gang of friends who are attempting to unravel the enigatic night disturbances. The twist? Shyam also has a childhood trauma of being scared of the dark, which is not a trait that would have suited well when you are pursuing whatever is in the shadows.

The movie combines romance (Shyam and Dhanya relationship creates emotional tension), comedy (the group of friends is truly humorous), and horror (some of the scenes in the first half are truly disturbing) into a whole that is decidedly entertaining, but not traumatizing. The main enigma, what exactly is really haunting Nellikkampoyil, keeps you guessing throughout the interval, although the revelation, critics claim, does not quite land the landing.

It’s a movie at its core of overcoming your fears, with a folklore and a plate of laughter on the side. Friday night stream with friends is a perfect streamable, in our opinion.

Nellikkampoyil Night Riders Box Office Performance

It is fair to state that Nellikkampoyil Night Riders review and OTT release debates have been divisive. The movie received both positive and negative reviews on both fronts. The Times of India rated it 3/5 stars, with technical work of high quality throughout the first half but decrying the slow pace of writing in the second half. The Hindu was not as generous and said that the film leaves nothing memorable. The New Indian Express termed it predictable yet of decent craft, whereas The Indian express was mean with 1.5/5 rating.

Conversely, IMDb (with its current rating of 6.1/10) and social media reviews of the film have been less critical. The attempt to combine genres and the visual effects were welcome by many viewers, although the plot failed.

The journey of box office to OTT is an interesting one. The film gathered around 60 lakhs on the first day of release, experienced day to day increases during the weekend (67 lakhs on Day 2, 79 lakhs on Day 3) but finally stabilized around the range of 2-3 crores. It was made on a tight budget of around 5-7 crores and is already considered a flop by critics in the trade.

The low-brow theater production in fact throws more weight on the possibilities of an earlier release on OTT, so it is good news to the rest of us who are still waiting to stream the play.
