Maareesan, starring Fahadh Faasil and Vadivelu, was released in theatres on July 25. Directed by Sudheesh Sankar, the film received positive reviews from both audiences and critics.
Despite the good response, the movie had only an average run in theatres. Many people chose to skip the big screen release and waited for its OTT debut.
The film began streaming on Netflix on August 22 with a four-week OTT window. It is available in five languages, including Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi.
Viewers who missed Maareesan in theatres are now praising it online. Many are calling it one of the best Kollywood films in recent times and appreciating Fahadh Faasil and Vadivelu’s performances.
With strong audience feedback, Maareesan is enjoying success on OTT. It remains to be seen if it will grow into a major OTT hit in the coming weeks.
