From Sarpatta Parambarai, Drishyam 2, and Soorarai Pottru to Minnal Murali, Malik, Narappa, and Mookuthi Amman, several South Indian movies skipped their theatrical releases during the Covid-19 era early this decade and premiered straight on OTT platforms. Yet, it is doubtful whether any other film generated as much anticipation as director Karthik Subbaraj’s Dhanush-led Jagame Thandhiram (2021). And, yes, the reasons were aplenty. Firstly, it was the biggest Tamil star vehicle to arrive before the audience since Vijay’s Master hit the screens in January 2021. Although Dhanush had a release in April, director Mari Selvaraj’s Karnan, it was anything but a star vehicle. Regardless, Karnan had a solid box-office run, and Dhanush’s performance impressed all.
