Khalifa

Khalifa (2026, Malayalam ഖലീഫ) is a Kerala crime-action film you can watch online at iFILM, centered on Aamir Ali, a gold-smuggling kingpin who inherited a multi-million-dollar criminal empire from a long line of gangsters before him.

Inheriting the business also means inheriting its enemies. Aamir gets pulled into a fight over legacy, power and old scores — the film's own tagline calls it vengeance written in gold — that makes his predecessor's wars look tame. Prithviraj Sukumaran plays the well-dressed predator at the center of it, opposite Mohanlal, one of Malayalam cinema's most decorated leading men; Neil Nitin Mukesh, a rare Bollywood name on this side of the industry, and veteran Indrans round out the cast.

Director Vysakh has built loud, crowd-pleasing action around Mohanlal before, Pulimurugan among them, so the scale here tracks. If South Indian cinema appeals to you for spectacle over subtlety, Khalifa earns a spot on the watchlist. Catch it online on iFILM.
