Maaman OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Soori and Aishwarya Lekshmi's Tamil action drama online
Maaman OTT Release Date: Soori recently headlined this Tamil film alongside Aishwarya Lekshmi, which, despite mixed reviews, emerged as a commercial success. Directed by Prasanth Pandiyaraj, from a story written by Soori himself, Maaman is now ready to make its digital debut. According to Sakshi Post, Maaman will be streaming on ZEE5 starting June 20, 2025. Maaman's cast and crew Produced by K. Kumar under Lark Studios, Maaman also stars Rajkiran, Swasika, Bala Saravanan, Baba Bhaskar, Viji Chandrasekhar, Master Prageeth Sivan, Nikhila Sankar, Geetha Kailasam, Jayaprakash, Kalaivani Bhaskar, Melvin and Tamilselvi among others. This Hesham Abdul Wahab musical is cinematographed by Dinesh Purushothaman and edited by Ganesh Siva. Maaman's plot overview Maaman is a family drama about Inba (Soori), a devoted uncle whose world revolves around his nephew Laddu, the son of his sister Girija. Inba treats Laddu like his own child, but things take a turn when he marries Rekha (Aishwarya), a doctor who soon realises her husband is emotionally distant and fully consumed by his bond with Laddu. Laddu, used to being the centre of Inba's life, sees Rekha as a threat and starts acting out. From ruining their honeymoon to constantly interfering in their private moments, his disruptive behaviour creates tension. Rekha feels isolated in a family that refuses to see the problem, while Inba struggles to balance his loyalty to Laddu with his responsibility to his wife. Maaman's review The Times of India rated the movie 2.5 out of 5, and a part of their review read, 'Maaman touches on interesting potential themes. The strain of integrating into a close-knit family, the subtle power dynamics, and even a child's need for boundaries. But it rarely commits to exploring them with any real depth. Instead, it often defaults to another scene of the nephew being, well, a lot.'
