Eko Malayalam movie Netflix:
If you were one of those who slipped into a dark theatre back in November and walked out whispering about Eko, then here’s some great news to close out 2025. After lighting up cinemas with its slow‑burn mystery and thoughtful storytelling, the Malayalam thriller Eko is all set to make its digital debut on Netflix from 31st December — perfect timing for a New Year’s Eve watch‑athon.

Directed by Dinjith Ayyathan and powered by a screenplay and cinematography from Bahul Ramesh, Eko has been quietly building its reputation as one of the most intriguing Malayalam films of the year. It hit theatres on 21st November 2025 and steadily earned praise for its layered narrative, evocative visuals, and that creeping, atmospheric sense of mystery that lingers long after the credits roll.
At its core, Eko is not your typical thriller. It centers around Mlaathi Chedathi, a woman living in the isolated, mist‑clad hills of Kaattukunnu, with only her caretaker Peeyoos for company. Their quiet, almost timeless existence begins to unravel when whispers of a man — Kuriyachan, an infamous dog breeder on the run — send ripples through their secluded world. As outsiders converge on the hills in search of him, long‑buried truths and unsettling secrets start to emerge, blurring the line between survival and memory.
What made Eko stand out in theatres was not just its cast, which includes Sandeep Pradeep, Vineeth, Narain, Binu Pappu and Biana Momin, but the way it unfolded like a puzzle — subtle, thoughtful, and sometimes just plain mysterious. There were no loud explosions or jump scares; instead, the tension came from the storytelling itself, the kind that lingers in your mind like an echo (perhaps that’s part of where the title Eko — stylised ekō — resonates).
For fans who missed it on the big screen, or for those who want to revisit its enigmatic world with subtitles and dubs, Netflix has you covered. The film will be streaming not just in Malayalam, but also in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada, making it easier for a whole new wave of viewers to get hooked.

Whether you’re planning a quiet night in with snacks and close friends, or looking for something to wind down the year with a little cerebral suspense, Eko on Netflix promises to be a refreshing change from the usual year‑end fare. Just hit play, sit back, and let the mystery unfold — because if this film has taught us anything, it’s that some truths don’t reveal themselves easily, even when you’re watching closely.
