Malayalam video call app: talk in Malayalam, from anywhere
Viaraa is a video call app where you can talk in Malayalam with friendly hosts, one to one. Each host is a woman aged 18 or over who chose to host on Viaraa, and our team checks every host before she can take calls.
Open Viaraa in your browser, see who's online and call. Joining is free, there's nothing to download, and you only pay for the minutes you talk.

When you miss talking in Malayalam
Malayalis live and work all over India and the world. If you're in Bengaluru, Chennai or Mumbai for work, or further away, it's easy to go days speaking only English or Hindi. Your Malayalam doesn't go anywhere, but you miss using it.
A Malayalam video call is a simple way to bring it back into your week. Talk about the film you just watched, the monsoon at home, food you can't find where you live, or whatever's on your mind. Mix in English if that's how you talk with friends: nobody minds.
Children of Malayali families who grew up outside Kerala often understand more Malayalam than they speak. A relaxed call with a patient host is a good way to turn that understanding into conversation.
How it works
- 1Sign up free with Google or your email, and choose a display name.
- 2Add coins in your Viaraa wallet with any UPI app.
- 3In Discover, look for hosts with Malayalam among their languages. A green dot means she's online right now.
- 4Check her rate on her profile and tap to call. End the call whenever you like.
Online statuses on Viaraa are real: a host shows as online only when she really is, and we never use bots or fake profiles.
Malayalam phrases for a friendly call
A few everyday phrases to start with. Malayalam sounds different in Thiruvananthapuram, Thrissur and Kozhikode, so your host's way of saying things may differ a little.
- നമസ്കാരം!Namaskaaram!Hello!
- സുഖമാണോ?Sukhamaano?How are you? (literally, "Are you well?")
- എനിക്ക് സുഖമാണ്.Enikku sukhamaanu.I'm fine.
- നിങ്ങളുടെ പേര് എന്താ?Ningalude peru enthaa?What's your name?
- ഭക്ഷണം കഴിച്ചോ?Bhakshanam kazhicho?Have you eaten? (a caring way to ask how someone is)
- കുറച്ച് പതുക്കെ സംസാരിക്കാമോ?Kurachu pathukke samsaarikkaamo?Could you speak a little slowly?
- ഇതിന് മലയാളത്തിൽ എന്താ പറയുക?Ithinu Malayaalathil enthaa parayuka?What do you call this in Malayalam?
- വളരെ നന്ദി!Valare nanni!Thank you very much!

Each host's rate is on her profile before you call, from 3,000 coins a minute. A call needs at least one minute of coins, and charging stops as soon as either of you ends it. Buy coins only inside the Viaraa app: we have no agents or resellers.
Games from home: Pambum Koniyum, Pakidakali and more
While you talk, you can open a board game together and carry on chatting. On Viaraa you'll find Pambum Koniyum (Snakes & Ladders), Pakidakali (Ludo), Kuzhipara and Aadum Puliyum (Tiger & Goats), under the Malayalam names on the Malayalam site.
Act & Guess is made for video calls: act out a film title without speaking while the other person guesses. Games inside calls are always free, and they're simply for fun.
