Malaikottai Vaaliban starring Mohanlal in the lead role and directed by Lijo Jose Pellissery is arriving in theaters on the 25th of January 2024 coinciding with the celebration of Republic Day.

The makers have finally dropped the trailer for the film featuring Mohanlal as an unbeatable wrestler who comes head-to-head with the treacherous powers of the land.

Check out the official trailer of Malaikottai Vaaliban


The trailer of Malaikottai Vaaliban showcases widespread glimpses of various characters and settings on which the film will focus. The film is set in the backdrop of a mix of period story featuring the kings and queens of a certain land with British powers aiding them.

Mohanlal is said to be pulling off a character called Malaikottai Vaaliban who is a renowned wrestler of the land and travels across places defeating anyone who challenges him. The trailer is edited similarly to previous Lijo Jose Pellissery movies, offering an intriguing and interesting view into the world of Malaikottai Vaaliban.

The trailer itself starts with a voice-over narrating how victories often blind people from seeing the treacheries of life. It also shows some dramatic action shots of the film. Moving ahead the trailer showcases Mohanlal bound by some steel shackles which are soon to be broken off by him. The use of a background score with the help of only guitars during this scene is a treat for your musical ears.

The trailer then goes ahead to show some well-placed slow-motion shots from the film which ultimately binds it all together for Mohanlal to end it majestically.

Interestingly, Mohanlal in an earlier press meet today for Vaaliban had specified that the film does not occur in a certain place or time in history and is unique in its storytelling and narrative.

He also further added that the film’s screenplay was not written keeping himself in mind but he was rather roped in after the story had finished. The trailer seems to evidently make it true that rather than this being a Mohanlal film directed by Lijo Jose Pellissery, this is Mohanlal playing an interesting character in an LJP world.
