After multiple delays and challenges, Pa Ranjith’s period drama Thangalaan, starring Chiyaan Vikram and Parvathy Thiruvothu, has finally made its way to the OTT platform today. Without any prior announcements and promotions, the blockbuster film is releasing on Netflix today.
This surprise release of the film creates excitement among the audience. So, months after its conquering performance at the theatres, Thangalaan finally reached the streaming platform to entertain the worldwide audience.
Despite its powerful narrative, mind-blowing visuals, and compelling performances, the film fails to reach the expected heights on its theatrical release. The Independence Day-released film, despite its positive reviews, fell short of expectations at the box office with a final collection of around Rs 105 crore.

Even though the film was expected to greet the OTT platforms during Diwali, it faced an unexpected delay due to difficulties in reaching an agreement with the streaming platform at the right time. Following extended resolutions to the underlying issues, the film has now been quietly launched on Netflix. The makers have unveiled its OTT release poster and wrote, “A quest for gold and justice buried deep in the pages of history!”

Based on a real-life incident that happened at the Kolar Gold Factory (KGF) in Karnataka under British rule, the film explores the unexplored history of Tamil Nadu’s Dalits and how they mined and created the KGF. Even though the film appears to be a quest for gold, it explores something more than what appears to be the target.

Vikram plays the role of the ‘Son of Gold,’ and the story is centred around a tribal leader’s fight against those conspiring to snatch their land to mine gold. The period action drama focuses on the themes of struggle and resistance and offers a social commentary on those whose hard work and sweat are often omitted in the pages of history.
The film stars Vikram, Parvathy, Malavika Mohanan, Daniel Caltagirone, and others. Produced by K E Gnanavel Raja of Studio Green, the music for the film has been scored by GV Prakash. The cinematography is handled by A. Kishore Kumar and editing by Selva RK.
