Frequently asked
- What is the best Malayalam movie on Prime Video?
- By IMDb rating (weighted for vote count), Kireedam (1989) tops this list with an IMDb score of 8.9 from 8,658 votes, and it's streaming in India on Prime Video.
- How is this list ranked?
- We rank by IMDb rating using a Bayesian weighted score (IMDb's own Top-250 method), which balances a title's rating against how many people voted — so a very high score from only a handful of votes doesn't outrank a slightly lower score from tens of thousands. Titles need a minimum vote count to qualify, and this list is further limited to titles streaming on Prime Video in India.
- Are all of these streaming on Prime Video in India?
- Yes — every title on this list is on Prime Video in India as of our last availability check. OTT catalogues change without notice, so tap any title to see its current status before you settle in.
