'Lovely' OTT: When and where to watch Mathew Thomas' fantasy film

Malayalam fantasy drama Lovely, starring Mathew Thomas in the lead, is now available for streaming. The film, which hit theatres on May 16, 2025, had a relatively quiet box office run but is now poised for wider appreciation following its OTT debut on June 20. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now A quirky plot with a talking fly Directed and written by Dileesh Karunakaran, Lovely tells the unusual story of Bony, a young man whose dreams of settling in Canada are derailed when he's forced to take up a government job—one held previously by his late father. The movie tells Bony's bond with a talking fly. Although the film had a good concept, it failed to shine at the box office. Supporting cast and performances Alongside Mathew Thomas, the film features notable performances by Sivaangi Krishnakumar, Manoj K Jayan, Aswathy Manoharan, and Prasanth Murali. The actors lend charm and depth to a story that balances whimsy with grounded emotions. The movie is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video. Lovely - Official Teaser ETimes review for the movie read,"On the technical side, while the CGI is commendable, the 3D feels almost unnecessary—except for the scenes involving the flying eecha. Sivaangi Krishnakuar's voice didn't work well and fails to help connect with Lovely. Lovely might be worth a one-time watch, given that it's experimental at its core, and Aashiq Abu's cinematography makes it aesthetically pleasing. Still, the film lacks the "wow" factor needed to truly hook its audience. " On the other hand, Mathew Thomas's previous outing was the comedy film 'Bromance' which received good reviews from the audiences and turned out to be a superhit. The film is also available on OTT.
