Manithan Deivamagalam OTT Release date confirmed: Where and when to watch Selvaraghavan and Kushee Ravi's Tamil crime-drama

The Tamil drama Manithan Deivamagalam is now heading to OTT after its theatrical run earlier this month, and the makers have finally locked the streaming date. The film, which features Selvaraghavan and Kushee Ravi in the lead, had released in cinemas on April 10, 2026, and drew mixed responses but still managed to get attention for its intense subject.

When and where to watch

The film will begin streaming on Sun NXT from May 1, 2026. The official confirmation came through the platform’s social media handle.

Sharing the update, the platform wrote, “One man. One storm. No escape. Watch Manithan Deivamagalam from May 1 on Sun NXT.”


With the release falling around Labour Day and the weekend, the makers seem to be aiming for a wider home audience who missed it in theatres.

A story rooted in struggle and conflict

At its core, Manithan Deivamagalam follows Raghavan, an ordinary man living in a remote village with his wife Selvi and their young daughter. Life is simple, even difficult at times, as the village itself lacks basic infrastructure like proper roads.

Things begin to look up when financial help indirectly reaches them through a loan taken from a powerful local lender. With that support, Raghavan and Selvi set up a small roadside eatery and slowly start building a better life.

But the calm does not last. When Raghavan approaches a local political leader asking for development work in the village, it unintentionally offends a ruthless loan shark named Inbharaj, who is closely linked to power circles. From there, the situation shifts. Harassment, pressure, and fear begin to spread across the village.

The film then moves into a more tense space where Raghavan, despite not wanting conflict, finds himself forced to stand up. It becomes a story about survival, anger, and how far a person can go when pushed into a corner. Some reports also point out that the narrative draws from real-life incidents involving financial exploitation and abuse tied to debt.

Cast and crew details

Along with Selvaraghavan and Kushee Ravi, the film features a supporting cast including R. S. Sathish, Kausalya, Mime Gopi, and Y. G. Mahendran, among others like Lirthika MS, Salem Deepak, Ila Bharath and Sudha.

The film is written and directed by Dennis Manjunath, who has earlier worked on films like Trip and Thookudurai. Production is handled by Vijaya Sathish along with R.S. Sathish under their banner.

On the technical side, cinematography is by Ravi Varma K, editing is done by Deepak S, and the music has been composed by A.K. Priyan.
