The much awaited Tamil film, Thug Life, which is directed by Mani Ratnam and stars legends like Kamal Haasan and Silambarasan (Simbu), finally made its OTT release on Netflix within a month of its theatrical release. The film that hit the big screen on June 5, 2025, is now on Netflix, probably because it failed to create that magic on the big screen. The film after its OTT release is receiving mixed reactions by the viewers online.

The best thing about a #ManiRatnam film is that, with every rewatch, you discover something new.”
