Devil's Double Next Level OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Santhanam and Selvaraghavan's Tamil film
Devil's Double Next Level's cast and crew
Written and directed by S. Prem Anand, Devil's Double Next Level is produced by The Show People and Niharika Entertainment. Other than the duo, the film also stars Gautham Vasudev Menon, Geethika Tiwary, Nizhalgal Ravi, Kasthuri Shankar, Shilpa, Yashika Aannand, Rajendran and Redin Kingsley among others. This OfRo musical is cinematographed by Deepak Kumar Padhy and edited by Bharath Vikraman.
Devil's Double Next Level's plot overview
The story revolves around Krishnamoorthy a.k.a. 'Kissa 47' (Santhanam), a blunt YouTube film reviewer, who is lured into a private screening by a mysterious director named Hitchcock Iruthyaraj (Selvaraghavan). What begins as a typical movie promotion quickly spirals into chaos when Kissa and several others, including his girlfriend and fellow critics, get trapped inside the movie itself—a cursed, haunted cruise ship created by the vengeful spirit of Hitchcock.
The setting becomes a nightmare where the characters must survive not just ghosts, but the twisted cinematic logic of the horror genre. The film smartly pokes fun at horror clichés and critic-creator dynamics, making it a meta-experience. As Kissa navigates this eerie, genre-bending world filled with possessed loved ones and creepy film tropes, he's forced to question whether his harsh criticism actually hurts filmmakers or if it's part of a bigger creative dialogue.
The climax hinges on him rewriting the story from within to save everyone, blurring the lines between audience, critic, and creator. While the film leans heavily on Tamil cinema references and slapstick comedy, it also offers a surprising layer of introspection about art, ego, and accountability in today's content-driven world.
