Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam's highly anticipated reunion in 'Thug Life' underperformed in theaters but is now streaming on Netflix in five languages. The gangster drama's early OTT release incurred a penalty for shortening the theatrical window. 'Thug Life' features Haasan as a mafia kingpin navigating betrayal and revenge, with a stellar supporting cast and AR Rahman's score. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads About Thug Life Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads After years of anticipation and massive buzz, Thug Life — the much-hyped reunion of Kamal Haasan and director Mani Ratnam — failed to make the kind of impact fans had hoped for in theatres. Now, the gangster drama is on Netflix in five languages: Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and film's theatrical run led to a disappointing box office performance. But the makers are hoping the OTT release can spark renewed interest among viewers who missed it during its initial run. Interestingly, this early arrival on Netflix — just four weeks after its theatrical debut — came at a to reports in 123Telugu, the streamer imposed a Rs 25 lakh penalty on the producers for shortening the usual eight-week window.

Why Ranbir Kapoor-Yash's Ramayana feels like a moment for Indian cinema
'Ramayana' can never be just a film. It's history and the ultimate truth for some, and a story of indelible devotion for others. That is precisely why Hindi cinema struggled to transform the epic into a true cinematic saga - not just a film, but an immersive experience of the magnitude this story it isn't easy. A story for all ages that demands more than just money - it calls for total surrender. Years of unwavering commitment, assembling the finest talent and bringing together people who not only understand the epic but are ready to embody its power and magic on screen. So, when Nitesh Tiwari announced that he was ready to take on the challenge and build a 'Ramayana' universe in two parts, it marked the beginning of a shared dream - his and the audience' Thursday, as Tiwari unveiled the first glimpse of 'Ramayana', audiences finally witnessed the grandeur of that vision. Watching 'Ramayana' come alive on the big screen felt emotional, magical and significant too. This is a story that never ages. 'Ramayana' belongs to everyone, and has everything a full-fledged commercial entertainer needs: scale, soul and timeless resonance. It carries within its values, devotion, bonding, feminism, power, history, defiance, and a wealth of emotions that resonate with every heart. And while it's too soon to know if Tiwari's 'Ramayana' will successfully capture all this on screen, one thing is already clear - the casting is pitch Kapoor as Lord Ram might be the most inspired casting choice in years. Arguably the finest actor of his generation, kapoor has consistently proven his craft - regardless of box office outcomes. His maturity, sincerity and effortless ability to become the character make him a thrilling fit for the choice of Sai Pallavi as Sita seems equally profound. The goddess is reverred for her simplicity, quiet strength and inner beauty - qualities that Pallavi exudes. The actor is known across the Indian film industry for her no-glam image and expressive presence, especially in Malayalam cinema. She brings a rare authenticity to the yet the boldest move was perhaps casting Yash as Ravana. The 'KGF' fame is not just a striking presence, he commands the screen. He's a brave actor, never afraid to experiment, and his declaration of his craft is evident in every frame. He is not just watched on the big screen - he is comes Ravi Dubey as Lakshman, a television star with an undeniable presence and proven talent. Tiwari's faith in Dubey - choosing sincerity and emotional depth over stardom - reflects his commitment to storytelling over casting of 'Ramayana' looks as vibrant and powerful as the epic itself: a Bollywood powerhouse, a Malayalam gem, a Kannada superstar and a TV icon - all anchored by one of the most electrifying choices of all: Sunny Deol as Lord thunderous energy, towering screen presence, and innate heroism make him the embodiment of Hanuman's fierce devotion and strength. His casting doesn't seem just right, but almost destined. Deol is to 'Ramayana' what Lord Hanuman is to the epic: a relentless warrior who wins The ensemble cast makes 'Ramayana' a promise of more than just a big-screen spectacle - a promise of an emotion, a memory, a generational experience. The film doesn't seem to be trying to modernise the epic, nor is it trying to reimagine it to suit trends. It's almost like Tiwari has bowed down to its source, honoured its scale, its essence, and the immense emotional capital it holds in most Indian households.'Ramayana' is attempting to recreate a world, revive a belief, and retouch the moral compass that the epic so powerfully embodies. In a time when mythology often drives a battleground of opinions, Tiwari's attempt at making this film looks more like reverence than is probably a one-of-its-kind effort to bring generations of audiences together, and offer them an opportunity to reconnect with their shared cultural space - realise a shared dream. It may just also become the defining cinematic mythology of our epic deserves no less. Neither does the audience.- EndsMust Watch IN THIS STORY#Ranbir Kapoor#Yash#Sunny Deol
