There’s no shortage of content on OTT platforms nowadays. However, the big question remains: what to watch? From murder mysteries and crime thrillers to horror, socio-fantasy, and suspense, there are films in various genres available on OTT. But crime thrillers hold a special appeal for many. In this context, YouSay brings an excellent OTT suggestion for its viewers—a Tamil dubbed film you shouldn’t miss. This movie will not disappoint you. What is this film about?
Which movie is it?
Vetrimaaran, a renowned Tamil director, is well-known in Kollywood. Although he has directed only seven films over his sixteen-year career, each film is unique. Vetrimaaran’s films, which often represent the underprivileged sections of society, naturally receive praise from critics. One such film by Vetrimaaran is ‘Viduthalai.’ Released last year in Tamil, this movie is now streaming in Telugu as ‘Viduthalai’ on OTT platforms. Zee 5 is broadcasting this film in both Tamil and Telugu.

What is special about the movie?
Director Vetrimaaran’s ‘Viduthalai’ is set against the backdrop of the 1987 conflict between police forces and a revolutionary group. The film vividly portrays the suffering of ordinary people caught in the crossfire between the police and Naxalites, with particularly distressing scenes of police brutality towards village women in their quest to apprehend Perumal (Vijay Sethupathi). Simultaneously, through the character of Kumareshan (Soori), the movie exposes the manipulative tactics of upper-level officials over their subordinates. Vetrimaaran also weaves a poignant love story into the narrative, enhancing the film’s emotional depth. ‘Viduthalai’ offers a distinctly unique experience compared to other crime thrillers.

What is the story?
Kumareshan (Soori) serves as a driver in the police department and is posted to a mountainous area. This region frequently witnesses encounters between the Naxalites and the police. The police operate a camp in collaboration with a private company to apprehend Perumal (Vijay Sethupathi), the leader of the Naxalites. Kumareshan, who is responsible for delivering food to the police stationed in this wooded area, falls in love with Papa (Bhavani Sri). One day, during a search to locate Perumal, the police detain all the residents of the mountain region, including Papa, and inflict severe torture on them. Distraught by the cruelty, what actions does Kumareshan take? What role does he play in the pursuit of Perumal? Whether or not Perumal is ultimately captured forms the remainder of the story.
