Sukran, the Malayalam romantic comedy-thriller starring Shine Tom Chacko and Bibin George, is now streaming on Sun NXT from March 13, 2026. Directed by Ubaini E., the film released in theatres on February 6, 2026, and has made its digital premiere just 35 days later — a notably swift OTT turnaround. For viewers who missed Sukran during its theatrical run, the film is now available to watch in full on Sun NXT.
When and Where to Watch Sukran on OTT?
Sukran is streaming on Sun NXT from March 13, 2026. The platform has acquired the Malayalam digital rights for the film, which is now available on demand. Sun NXT is accessible via its app and website, with subscription plans available for monthly and annual access. No other OTT platform — including Netflix, Prime Video, or JioHotstar — has announced streaming rights for Sukran at this time.
What Is Sukran About?
Sukran follows Nandu, a man who grows up under the shadow of an unusual curse — his horoscope marks him as someone who takes the blame for things he never did. From childhood, misfortune and unfair circumstances define his life. Years later, the return of his childhood love sets off a chain of events that pulls Nandu into a love triangle while simultaneously pushing him into increasingly chaotic and dangerous situations. The film shifts registers between comedy, romance, and thriller, with the tonal pivots between these modes being both its strength and, for some critics, its weakness.
Director Ubaini E. frames the story around fate, identity, and the question of whether a man can outrun the story written for him at birth — a premise that gives the film its title, Sukran, meaning Venus in Tamil and Malayalam astrology, associated with love and fortune.

Who Stars in Sukran?
Shine Tom Chacko plays the lead role of Nandu, and his performance has drawn the most consistent praise from reviewers — he brings an intensity to the comedy-thriller blend that keeps the film watchable even when the screenplay loses momentum. Bibin George, one of Malayalam cinema’s most reliable comic performers, appears in a key role and brings his trademark energy to the lighter portions. Thushara Pillai, Maala Parvathi, and Divya M Nair form the key female ensemble, with the latter two central to the love triangle at the film’s core. Azees Nedumangad and Chandunath appear in supporting roles.
How Did Sukran Perform in Theatres?
Sukran collected approximately ₹0.21 crore in total during its theatrical run — a modest figure that reflects limited screens and subdued pre-release buzz. The film carried mixed reviews on release, with critics noting that the comedy portions land well but the thriller pivot in the second half relies on familiar template moves. Sukran holds a 6.8 on IMDb, suggesting a watchable but not extraordinary experience for most viewers. The 35-day time-to-OTT is faster than the typical Malayalam theatrical window of 42–56 days, indicating the producers moved quickly to capitalise on the digital audience that did not catch the film in cinemas.
