Malik is streaming in the UAE on Prime Video.
What the audience says
Malik is a dependable Malayalam film — it does what it sets out to do. It holds a 7.3/10 on TMDB from 57 ratings, well above what most films manage. At 161 minutes it's a long sit, so save it for when you've got the evening. In the UAE you can stream it on Prime Video.
Should you spend 2h 41m on it?
2h 41m of Malayalam thriller, leaning drama. A little over the usual, so start it earlier than you think.
Don't watch this if…
- you want a safe bet — that rating rests on only 57 votes
- you want something you can finish quickly — it runs 2h 41m
- Why
- 7.3/10 from 57 ratings — well received so far, on a modest sample.
- Skip if
- you want to relax rather than be wound up
- Best for
- A night you can give it your full attention
