FAHADH FAASIL AND VADIVELUS Mannerdirected by Sudheesh Sankar, was released in theatres on July 25 and opened to positive feedback from both audiences and critics. Even with these favourable reviews, the film managed only an average run in cinemas, as many moviegoers chose to skip watching it on the big screen.
After its theatrical journey, Maareesan is now gearing up for its digital release. The film will begin streaming on Netflix from August 22 in five languages, including Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi. This wide release across languages is expected to give it a fresh chance to reach a larger audience who may have missed it in theatres.
Those who watched Maareesan in cinemas have described it as one of the best films in recent times, even calling it a must-watch experience. Several viewers had urged others not to miss out on this gem during its theatrical run, but many still gave it a miss. With its arrival on Netflix, a new wave of anticipation has built up among fans and movie enthusiasts.
Now the question is whether Maareesan will be embraced more warmly on the OTT platform than it was in theatres. The film’s performance on Netflix will reveal if the audience is ready to celebrate it on August 22 when it begins streaming worldwide.
