The wait for the digital premiere of the action-comedy The Pet Detective is officially over. Following its successful run in cinemas, the film’s OTT release details have been confirmed. Fans who missed the big-screen fun or are eager for a rewatch can now mark their calendars, as the movie is set to begin streaming on the popular platform ZEE5 starting November 28, 2025. This announcement confirms the digital home for one of Malayalam cinema’s most talked-about commercial entertainers of the year.
The Pet Detective, which had a theatrical release on October 16, 2025, charmed audiences with its unique premise and high-energy performance by lead actor Sharaf U Dheen. The film follows the story of Tony Jose Alula, an underachieving detective whose simple case of a missing pet spirals into a chaotic international adventure involving smugglers and a Mexican mafia don. Its blend of slapstick comedy and action made it a box office success, crossing the ₹10 crore mark worldwide and building significant anticipation for its digital debut.
The confirmation of its arrival on ZEE5 provides easy access for a wider pan-Indian audience to experience this Malayalam entertainment hit. The platform’s decision to acquire the streaming rights underscores the film’s commercial appeal and the growing demand for light-hearted, comedy-caper films in the digital space. For subscribers, this adds a perfect weekend binge option—a stress-buster that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
For those seeking a dose of pure, unadulterated fun reminiscent of classic Malayalam slapstick, The Pet Detective on ZEE5 promises to deliver. With its OTT release date now locked in, the film is poised to find a new life and reach viewers across the country, solidifying its place as a successful debut for both director Praneesh Vijayan and producer-actor Sharaf U Dheen.
