This unexpected move has led to a wave of enthusiasm among fans who were eagerly awaiting the chance to experience the film in the comfort of their homes.
Directed by Pa. Ranjith, ‘Thangalaan’ boasts a stellar cast, including Vikram, Parvathy Thiruvothu, and Malavika Mohanan. The film is set in a unique period backdrop and features a gripping storyline that explores themes of oppression, identity, and resilience. Adding to its richness, GV Prakash Kumar’s evocative musical score further elevates the cinematic experience. With its arrival on the digital platform, ‘Thangalaan’ now has the opportunity to reach a global audience, giving more viewers the chance to appreciate the artistry and storytelling that earned it critical praise. Chiyaan Vikram’s fans, in particular, have expressed their joy on social media, celebrating the film’s OTT debut and sharing their admiration for his performance.
