Iyer in Arabia OTT Release Date: Back in 2024, Mukesh and Urvasi starred together in a Malayalam comedy, which has finally found a digital home after a long time. Directed by M. A. Nishad, the film was produced by Vignesh Vijayakumar under Wealth I Productions. As per OTTPlay, you can watch Iyer in Arabia on Sun NXT starting May 16, 2025.

Iyer in Arabia follows the story of Srinivasa Iyer (Mukesh), his son Rahul (Dhyan), and his wife Jhancy Rani (Urvashi). Srinivasa Iyer is a conservative and possessive father, while Jhancy, a school teacher and popular YouTuber, brings a more modern perspective to the family. Rahul aspires to move to Dubai to build a career as an architect, but his father's rigid beliefs and cultural reservations become a major obstacle.

The film subtly portrays Srinivasa as a supporter of right-wing ideology. At its core, Iyer in Arabia is a satirical take on generational and ideological conflict, focusing on a father-son relationship strained by rigid beliefs and the desire for personal freedom.

Other than Mukesh and Urvashi, Iyer in Arabia also stars Dhyan Sreenivasan, Shine Tom Chacko, Durga Krishna, Dayana Hameed, Biju Sopanam, Jaffar Idukki, Sudheer Karamana, Sunil Sukhada, Alencier Ley Lopez, Maniyanpilla Raju, Uma Nair, Divya M. Nair, Sinoje Siddique, Kailash and Jayakumar Parameswaran Pillai among others. This Anand Madhusoodanan musical is edited by Johnkutty.

Iyer in Arabia’s review

The Lensmen review of the film read, “Iyer in Arabia felt more like a wasted opportunity to make a solid satire. If you are a politically aware person, some of the key characters in this movie will be extremely relatable to you. But rather than developing an engaging film with those relatable characters, MA Nishad decided to hastily assemble a comedy film that might feel passable as 30-second reels, but not as a two-hour and twenty-minute long feature film.”
