Baby Girl Now On OTT: The Malayalam thriller Baby Girl, featuring Nivin Pauly, Lijomol Jose and Sangeeth Prathap in key roles, has completed its theatrical run and moved to the digital space. The film was released in cinemas on January 23, 2026, and opened as a suspense-driven drama centred on a missing child and the ripple effects that follow.
Directed by Arun Varma and written by the duo Bobby-Sanjay, the film unfolds against the backdrop of a disappearance that unsettles multiple lives. While the makers have described it as a high-tension thriller, the narrative focuses on the emotional and moral consequences surrounding the case.

As the search progresses, layers of truth begin to surface, suggesting that the reality behind the crime may be more complex than initially assumed. The screenplay tracks how the key characters respond when faced with mounting pressure and difficult choices.
