Malayalam crime thriller Uyir has recently arrived on JioHotstar on August 4, 2026. Notably, director M. Padmakumar returns to the crime genre with a quiet, procedural drama led by Roshan Mathew as probationary ‘SI Ajeeb.’ Set in Kannur, the film begins with a body found in a well and unfolds into an investigation about missing women that becomes personal for the officer.
Avoiding big twists and heroic tropes, Uyir focuses on routine police work, grounded performances, and emotional sincerity. It’s a slow-burning film that values realism over spectacle.
