Uyir streams Aug 4. Five languages.
Roshan Mathew’s Malayalam police procedural heads to JioHotstar on August 4, in Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada, per multiple reports. Telangana viewers get the Telugu track without waiting for a dubbed-afterthought window — which is rarer than it should be.
Uyir arrives on JioHotstar in five languages on August 4.
Uyir, directed by M. Padmakumar and starring Roshan Mathew, was announced to begin streaming on JioHotstar on August 4, 2026, in five languages: Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada, according to independent reports that cite the platform’s social post. Cinema Express identifies the film as a police procedural; Pinkvilla calls it a mystery drama. The theatrical release was June 26.
For Telugu audiences, the reported day‑one availability in Telugu matters — too many titles still treat non-Hindi viewers like a later patch. The announcement line reproduced by the Times of India reads: “Inspired by true events. Driven by justice. Uyir on JioHotstar from August 4. Watch in Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu & Kannada.” The original post was not directly accessible during checks, so this wording is quoted via secondary reports.
Plot descriptions in those outlets centre on a probationary officer, Ajeeb Rahman, and an investigation triggered by a decomposed body found in an abandoned well. Reviews were mixed across publications — from “engaging social drama” to “predictable” and “generic” — which is to say, decide for yourself on August 4. JioHotstar has not laid out subscription tiers or international availability in these reports; if they do, we’ll print the actual fine print, not the tagline.
