If you’ve been waiting to stream the latest instalment of the hit Malayalam comedy franchise, here’s the good news you’ve been looking for. Aadu 3: One Last Ride – Part 1, starring Jayasurya as the unforgettable Shaji Pappan, is all set to make its digital debut very soon.
The film will be available to watch online on ZEE5 starting May 1, 2026. This marks the official OTT release of the third movie in the popular Aadu series, just six weeks after its theatrical run that began on March 19, 2026.
Directed by Midhun Manuel Thomas, Aadu 3 brings back the same over-the-top humour, time-travel chaos, and high-energy action that fans loved in the first two films. The star-studded cast includes Vinayakan, Saiju Kurup, Vijay Babu, Sunny Wayne, and Dharmajan Bolgatty, along with several familiar faces from the franchise. The story once again revolves around Shaji Pappan and his gang as they navigate hilarious situations across different timelines.
The movie had a strong run at the box office during its Eid release and crossed the Rs 100 crore mark globally, even though reviews were mixed. Now, ZEE5 has secured the exclusive digital streaming rights, making it easy for audiences across India and abroad to enjoy the madness from the comfort of their homes.
