New OTT Releases Tamil

The story of the movie is about the decision made by Samuthirakani, who works as a car driver, and the events that unfold in his life after that. The film's narrative moves along the struggles and humiliations faced by a middle-class family and the way they confront them. Since the movie runs on a non-linear screenplay, after establishing that "this is the problem for Samuthirakani," it takes a lot of time for the story to progress toward it. However, because the scenes, appropriate dialogues, and situational settings blend together well, the movie does not cause much boredom.

Overall, Carmeni Selvam is presented as a feel-good family drama to watch with family. Don't miss it.

The story of the movie Leader revolves around Legend Saravanan, a car mechanic in Thoothukudi, who unexpectedly gets caught up in a clash between the police and gangsters at the harbor, and how he escapes from it. Right from the start of the film, successive twists make the first half move at a fast pace. However, the scenes after the intermission do not impress much. Many twists occur after the interval as well, but none of them are particularly noteworthy. The length of the climax fight sequences in the movie is a bit too long. Otherwise, there aren't any major flaws. Some dialogues and twists are actually quite good.

Overall, Leader is an average thriller movie, except for a few scenes in the second half.

The story of the movie Faces is about an accident that occurs in the life of a woman named Nithya, and the problems she faces after that. It starts with her lover, Michael, going missing at the beginning, but from there, the story travels without moving to the next level, which causes boredom. At one point, the missing lover returns, and only during the last half hour does the story pick up some pace. Until then, there is nothing majorly exciting or emotional in the story.

Overall, Faces gives the feeling of taking a story meant for a short film and trying to make it into a full-length feature film.

People who worship Satan live in a village called Asthinapuram. Because they torture themselves with rituals, including human sacrifice, people from other villages do not accept or associate with them. The story revolves around a woman named Aira who lives in this village. The filmmakers have moved the story forward in a genre that doesn't have many movies—Satan worship. The film contains scenes that create fear and offer a thriller experience. However, because the story travels in a non-linear narrative, it becomes difficult to understand. Furthermore, leaving the chosen story unfinished just to give a lead-in to the next part did not suit this film well.

Overall, Sathan - The Dark has terrifying scenes, but the screenplay is not clear.

The story revolves around a group of spies who fight to stop a destructive plot planned against India and save the nation. In an attempt to make the narrative thrilling with constant twists, the film ends up becoming unnecessarily confusing. Another major issue is that most of the twists presented neither feel interesting nor logically convincing. Only a few emotional scenes work to some extent. However, the action sequences are well-executed and visually impressive. Fans of action films may still find it worth a one-time watch.

Overall, Mr. X — a spy war that lacks real excitement.

This is a story about a police officer trying to track down a murderer behind a killing that takes place in an apartment complex. Since the film follows a non-linear narrative, it is difficult to understand where the story is heading during the first half hour. After that, the screenplay picks up pace with gripping twists as the police investigation intensifies in search of the killer. However, the unnecessary importance given to certain side characters and a few logical flaws hold the film back. Setting those aside, the movie still manages to deliver a fairly engaging thriller experience.

Overall, Kalidas 2 — Just Pass.

The story revolves around a husband who reacts to everything in an overly emotional manner and a wife who struggles to tell him about her former lover. Once the audience figures out what the climax is going to be, the journey leading up to it does not remain particularly engaging. Because of this, the film feels like it is merely waiting to reach its ending. The limited number of characters is not an issue by itself, but the lengthy scenes and excessive dialogues become tiring after a point. However, the film deserves appreciation for poetically conveying the idea that everything happening in this world is accidental, and that neither saving nor losing a life is entirely in our hands.

Overall, Oh Butterfly — the story is small, but the runtime feels very long.

The story revolves around a lover who is imprisoned in a murder case and the woman he loved, who testified against him. The gripping screenplay, the twists that unfold throughout the narrative, the changing camera angles suited to each scene, the performances of the actors, and the well-crafted background score keep the audience fully engaged with the screen. Blending thriller, drama, action, and romance in balanced proportions, the film works effectively as an engaging entertainer. Except for a few logical inconsistencies that appear here and there, it turns out to be a solid thriller. Fans of thriller films are likely to enjoy this movie very much.

Overall, Dakkayithu — if you are not too concerned about logic, get ready for an excellent thriller experience!

The story revolves around an ordinary young man and a corporate app owner. Set in the year 2040, the film attempts to highlight how being constantly immersed in mobile phones can make us lose relationships, friendships, and happiness in our daily lives. However, these themes are not conveyed with enough emotional depth, as the film primarily focuses on the conflict between the hero and the villain. Because of this, the movie fails to create a strong connection with the audience at any point. A few scenes feel fresh, and some dialogues are well-written. Visually, the film is impressive.

Overall, LIK — lacks emotional impact in its scenes.

The story revolves around a situation where a decision made by the hero in a critical moment leads to his father being falsely accused. The film then follows the son’s struggle to clear his father’s name. However, by the time we understand what the situation is and what decision was made, nearly half the film has already passed. Until then, it remains unclear where the story is heading. It is only in the second half that the narrative gains clarity, making it easier for the audience to engage. The second half, in particular, does not feel boring at any point. Visually and in terms of making, the film is impressive. The bike racing sequences are well-executed and stand out.

Overall, Biker — confusing in the first half, clear in the second.

The story revolves around the brother-in-law of an MLA and Selvaraghavan, who runs a hotel in the same village. What begins as a story about the need for a proper road in the village gradually shifts into a different track. Except for the last half hour, the film lacks engagement in most parts. Although the director seems to intend to highlight the importance of road connectivity for a village, the film does not give it enough emphasis. This is mainly because it is revealed only towards the end that the road issue is not the core theme of the story. Amateur performances and scenes that feel like television serials act as drawbacks.

Overall, Manithan Deivamaagalam portrays how a man loses his balance due to aggression.

The story follows a man who travels from the United States to his native village to meet his girlfriend, and the events that unfold between him and the villagers. The film begins on a light comedic note and gradually shifts into a thriller. Although the premise follows a familiar template—a mysterious fort in the village, a monster within it, and the hero getting trapped inside—the film manages to stay engaging with its series of twists and small moments of humor. However, the climax is not entirely satisfying. After building up the story with suspense, it ends abruptly in the name of a twist. It is still a decent watch for a relaxed time with family.

Overall, Ragasa — a monster within the fort.
