The Malayalam action film 'Balti,' featuring Shane Nigam in the lead role, is now heading to OTT platforms, with a premiere scheduled for July 10 on Sony LIV. This film uniquely weaves together elements of sports, crime, and heartfelt emotional relationships, all set against the scenic backdrop of the Kerala-Tamil Nadu border.
Directed and written by Unni Sivalingam, 'Balti' centers on Udhayan, nicknamed Balti, a talented kabaddi player from Velampalayam. His life takes a significant turn after a crucial tournament victory, drawing him into a complex narrative involving action and drama.
The movie boasts a strong ensemble cast, including Shanthanu Bhagyaraj, Preethi Asrani, Alphonse Puthren, Selvaraghavan, and Poornima Indrajith. Despite its promising plot and well-shot kabaddi sequences, 'Balti' did not perform as expected at the box office upon its theatrical release on September 25, 2025.
Critically, 'Balti' received a mixed reception, with praise directed towards its gripping kabaddi scenes and technical achievements, particularly the music by Sai Abhyankkar, whose song 'Jalakkari' gained popularity. The film will be available to stream in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi.
