30 Best Tamil Movies on Netflix (May 2024)

Movie buffs worldwide have a popular misconception that Bollywood is a synonym for Indian cinema. The Indian film industry is an umbrella term that comprises Hindi films, regional movies, and art cinema. Being the world’s largest filmmaking nation, India produces more than 1,500 movies per year in different languages. Based in Chennai, the capital city of Tamil heartland, Tamil Cinema, which is fondly called Kollywood , has a broad reach across the nation and among the Tamil diaspora worldwide. Netflix boasts an extensive collection of Tamil movies in all genres, catering to the taste of every audience.

In the film, lower-class middle-aged Pazhani (Samuthirakani) finds himself conflicted between family responsibilities (he has a wife, Kalaiselvi, and a daughter, Raji) and love for his comatose father, Muthu (Kalaiselvan), whose care affects their household finances.

Also known as ‘Sometimes,’ this film narrates an unusual story of seven strangers who go to a clinic to get tested for AIDS and their anxiety as they learn that one of them is infected. It is human nature to be curious and to imagine possibilities or an alternative reality. As each of the characters reveals their story through conversations varying in-depth, we start to empathize with the characters and what they are going through. The film also highlights the stigma that surrounds AIDS and how it affects people, whether they have it or not. This is shown tactfully as the characters do not have inhibitions judging one another, although they are all standing in the same spot. The entire film is set in the waiting lounge of a clinic; therefore, the portrayal of the characters and the strength of storytelling carry the movie on its shoulders.

Haris films always pack a punch, except for Seval and Swamy Square. Theyve got that special repeat value…. Hoping #Rathnam lives up to the same standard pic.twitter.com/PyGGaCQwT2 — Swathiiii 🌸 (@Swathi_Prasad96) April 25, 2024

Rathnam (played by Vishal) works for an MLA (portrayed by Samuthirakani) and their alliance is built on a unique set of morals. Their brand of rowdyism is aimed at serving the greater good of the people.

The MLA takes pride in the understanding between his henchmen and the police, believing it allows them to work together for the community's benefit. One fateful day, Rathnam encounters Mallika (played by Priya Bhavani Shankar), who is preparing to take her NEET exam. He soon learns that she is being targeted by a group of thugs.

Rathnam is known for his willingness to assist women in distress, but his decision to help Mallika is motivated by more than just his usual sense of duty. Mallika reveals that her family is embroiled in a conflict with the Rayudu brothers over a piece of land that rightfully belongs to them. As Rathnam delves deeper into the situation to uncover the truth, he finds himself entangled in a dangerous game. Who are the Rayudu brothers, and what lengths are they willing to go to in order to get their way?

The movie has piqued a lot of interest. Will it live up to the viewers' expectations? Find it out from the viewers' words below:

  By Rohan Verma

  The Tamil film industry is gearing up for an exhilarating year in 2024, with a series of new movies set to premiere on various OTT platforms. Among the several Tamil movies on OTT release, some eagerly awaited titles include Aranmanai 4 , which promises a continuation of the beloved horror-comedy franchise, and Garudan, which offers intense drama and gripping action. Additionally, the lineup also includes Star, Inga Naan Thaan Kingu, Uyir Thamizhukku, and Kaaduvetty, each bringing a fresh experience to your watchlist.

  The Tamil movie Star premiered in theaters on May 10, 2024, and received mostly positive reviews. Directed by Elan, the film follows the story of Kalai, a man aspiring to become a movie star. While depicting his journey, the plot delves into the struggles that newcomers face to enter the cinema industry. Interestingly, some sequences in the film are inspired by actor Vijay’s early career, adding authenticity and depth to the story.

  Star features a talented cast including Kavin, Lal, Geetha Kailasam, Aaditi Pohankar, Preity Mukhundhan, and others. Notably, this film marks Kavin’s first release of the year 2024. Regarding its digital release, earlier reports suggested that Star would debut on Amazon Prime Video on June 14. But now, it has been confirmed that Star will be available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video from June 7, 2024.

  Aranmanai 4

  The commercially successful Aranmanai 4 is now gearing up for its digital streaming debut. This horror-comedy film stars Tamannaah Bhatia, Raashii Khanna, Ramachandra Raju, Santhosh Prathap, and Sundar in pivotal roles. Directed by Sunder C, Aranmanai 4 has been produced under the joint banner of Benzz Media (P) Ltd. and Avni Cinemax.

  Interestingly, the film centers around a spirit known as Baak. According to the beliefs of Assamese folklore, the Baak spirit enjoys killing fish and humans by drowning them. With its unique storyline, Aranmanai 4 is all set to stream on Disney Plus Hotstar. Furthermore, the platform has confirmed that its streaming will commence on June 21 in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam languages.

  Inga Naan Thann Kingu, directed by Anand Narayan and starring Santhanam, premiered in theaters on May 17, 2024. The film centers around Vetri, a man who takes out a hefty loan to purchase an apartment. To repay the loan, he plans to marry a girl from a wealthy family to receive a substantial dowry. However, his plans unexpectedly turn when a wealthy Zamindar family sends him a marriage proposal.

  Regarding digital streaming details, the makers have not yet announced the specifics. Typically, films debut digitally around 45–60 days after their theatrical release. Therefore, audiences will have to wait a bit longer to experience Inga Naan Thaan Kingu on an OTT platform.
