Prem C Kumar, celebrated for his work on the 2018 hit 96, brings his unique storytelling style to Meiyazhagan. The film centers on Arumozhi Varman, played by Arvind Swami, who returns to his hometown after two decades under pressing circumstances.
Though eager to get back to the city, his perspective shifts after meeting an unknown relative, portrayed by Karthi, leading to unexpected self-reflection.

Lubber Pandhu, directed by debutant Tamizharasan Pachamuthu, offers a unique storyline centered around two cricket-obsessed protagonists from rival teams. Attakathi Dinesh stars as Gethu, a fierce batsman, who faces off against Anbu, a determined bowler, played by Harish Kalyan.
As the game intensifies, the story delves into deeper societal issues, exploring caste discrimination, gender bias, and the complexities of male pride. With cricket as a backdrop, this film goes beyond sports to highlight themes resonant in contemporary Tamil society. Catch Lubber Pandhu on Disney+ Hotstar this festive season.
Aindham Vedham on Zee 5
For those interested in suspense and mythology, Aindham Vedham by L Nagarajan delivers a gripping storyline. The plot follows Anu (played by Sai Dhanshika), who heads to Varanasi to perform her mother’s last rites. Unexpectedly, a priest tasks her with delivering an ancient relic back to Tamil Nadu, an errand she is hesitant to fulfill.
However, as mysterious events unfold, she finds herself drawn into a fate she didn’t anticipate. This thrilling journey is supported by a robust cast including YG Mahendra, Krisha Kurup, Ramjee, Devadarshini, Mathew Varghese, and Ponvannan. Aindham Vedham will be available for streaming on Zee 5.
Thangalaan on Netflix
Another much-discussed title, Pa Ranjith’s Thangalaan, will finally make its way to Netflix after some legal complications. Initially set for a September release, the movie faced a delay due to a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in Madras High Court, but it has now been cleared for release.
While the exact date is not yet confirmed, Thangalaan is expected to hit Netflix in time for Diwali. The film’s storyline and cast remain under wraps, but the recent buzz surrounding it suggests it will be one of the highlights of the holiday season.
