Bandra, the Malayalam drama led by Dileep and directed by Arun Gopy, premieres on ZEE5 on November 13, 2026. ZEE5 Malayalam posted the date on Instagram on November 5 and named Malayalam Zee 5 as the home platform. The film had opened in theatres on November 10, 2023, so the streaming bow lands a little over three years after that first run.
Where to watch Bandra on OTT
The ZEE5 Malayalam caption says the glamour, the action and the larger than life drama are coming home. It then states that Bandra premieres on 13th November only on Malayalam Zee 5. Hashtags on the same post include BandraOnZee5 and MalayalamZee5. The account tagged Dileep, Tamannaah Bhatia, Zee Keralam and Ajith Vinayaka Films.

We are not adding a streaming clock time, because the caption does not name one. Check the ZEE5 Malayalam catalogue on November 13 for the title card, since regional apps can differ.
From November 2023 theatres to November 2026 OTT
That calendar gap is the clear news angle for readers who watched Bandra in theatres and then lost track of a digital window. Bandra spent its first life in theatres from November 10, 2023. The new ZEE5 window opens on November 13, 2026. The announcement itself landed in the Diwali week of 2026, but the premiere date on the post is November 13. We are not assigning reasons for the wait. The official post only confirms the premiere date and the platform.
Tamannaah Bhatia made her Malayalam debut in Bandra opposite Dileep, and Arun Gopy, whose earlier film Ramaleela remains a reference point for his career, directed the project from a screenplay by Udaykrishna under the Ajith Vinayaka Films banner that also published the official teaser on YouTube before the theatrical release. The same November 13 date also brings The Third Murder to ManoramaMAX, giving Malayalam viewers two digital premieres that Friday.
Our weekly Malayalam OTT list covers the November 6 cluster, including ICU now streaming on Sun NXT. Bandra sits a week later on ZEE5 rather than inside that Diwali OTT Friday.
Cast, crew and what the film covers
Dileep plays the lead. Tamannaah Bhatia co-stars. Promotional materials and the ZEE5 post also point to the Ajith Vinayaka Films banner. Sam C. S. composed the music, and the soundtrack includes the video song Rakka Rakka, released on YouTube during the theatrical campaign. The story follows a larger than life figure moving between glamour, conflict and family ties with a Mumbai connection. We are keeping the plot description short and spoiler light.
Dileep's newer slate includes Henok: The Man in the Mist, the title announced from the earlier D 153 project. More streaming titles are listed in our OTT section. No other Dileep theatrical dates are being added here from rumour sheets.
