Madras Matinee fared fairly well at the box office when it came out on June 6, 2025, and was welcomed with a mixed reaction from the people. The slice-of-life Tamil drama is now all set to find its way onto Ott. What makes the film stand out is the manner in which it presents the actual lives of working-class individuals, without attempting to present things as nicer than they truly are.

The makers have locked its Ott premiere on Sun Nxt, where Madras Matinee will start streaming from July 4, 2025. Sun Nxt confirmed the news with a post on their official X handle, sharing a poster of the movie with the caption, “Every street has a story. Every home, a heartbeat! Madras Matinee is a tribute to the unsung heroes around us — fathers who sacrifice, families who hold on, and...

Film: "Thanga Meengal"; Cast: Ramsubramaniam, Shelly Kishore, Sadhana, Rohini, Padmapriya, Lizzy and Poo Ramu; Director: Ramsubramaniam; Rating: ***1/2 - Artsy, gutsy with minor flaws.

Ram's "Thanga Meenal" is not your ordinary Tamil film that comes week after week. It's a rare children's film that rises to live up to its purpose while stumbling along the way. Despite being overly sentimental and bravely taking a dig at primary school education system and a few other things, "Thanga Meengal" is a coming-of-age story of an unfit father struggling to make ends meet, told through the eyes of his eight-year old daughter.
