Here's when and where you can watch Fahadh Faasil, Vadivelu's comedy drama Maareesan on OTT
A mysterious journey unfolds when two unlikely companions set off across Tamil Nadu. One is a cunning thief with ulterior motives; the other, an elderly man battling memory loss. What begins as a simple plan for deception soon transforms into an emotional odyssey neither expected. When and where to watch Maareesan? Maareesan, the latest Tamil film starring Fahadh Faasil and Vadivelu, is set to premiere on Netflix on August 22, 2025. Directed by Sudheesh Sankar, this road-trip thriller delves into themes of trust, redemption, and the complexities of human relationships. What is the storyline? The storyline of Maareesan follows Dhaya, a small-time thief (played by Fahadh Faasil), who targets Velayudham, an elderly man with Alzheimer's (played by Vadivelu), as part of a con. Dhaya pretends to help Velayudham in his supposed quest to find his long-lost daughter, seeing it as an easy opportunity to gain something in return. As they journey together across Tamil Nadu, what begins as manipulation slowly evolves into a genuine emotional bond. Dhaya starts to empathize with Velayudham's vulnerability and sincerity. The road trip reveals hidden truths, personal regrets, and forces both characters to confront their pasts. How were the performances? The performances were widely appreciated, with Vadivelu earning particular praise for his role as Velayudham. Known primarily for his comedic work, Vadivelu showcased his range with a restrained and emotional performance that became one of the film's strongest elements. Fahadh Faasil, as the morally grey thief Dhaya, delivered a layered portrayal, effectively capturing the character's transformation from selfish motives to empathy and redemption. How was the box office response? Despite the critical praise, the film, which was released on July 25, struggled at the box office. Maareesan opened to a modest Rs 75 lakh on its first day and eventually collected around Rs 6.55 crore domestically. With an estimated production budget of Rs 15 crore, the film failed to recover its costs theatrically. Audiences responded well to the film post-theatrical release, and it currently holds an impressive IMDb rating of 8.2. While Maareesan may not have achieved commercial success, it resonated deeply with viewers for its sincere performances and heartfelt narrative. Story Highlights Maareesan follows conman (Fahadh Faasil) who tries to exploit elderly man with Alzheimer's (Vadivelu) on road trip. The Film is all set to stream on Netflix from August 22, 2025. Vadivelu delivers a standout emotional performance, moving beyond his usual comic roles. Though it underperformed at the box office, the film received critical acclaim and holds a strong IMDb rating of 8.2/10.

Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis rules were revealed weeks ago: ‘10 min rounds, no restrictions'
Jake Paul will take on Gervonta 'Tank' Davis in November this year. This comes after the YouTuber-turned-boxer's bout with Anthony Joshua was canceled, The Ring reported on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Netflix appeared to accidentally post about the Paul vs Davis bout. The post has been deleted. It is being reported that the blockbuster fight will take place at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. Kake Paul attends Ukraine's Oleksandr Usyk and Britain's Daniel Dubois's undisputed world heavyweight boxing title bout(AFP) Have the rules of the Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis bout been set? Technically, no. But Paul's previous statements have given fans a hint at how the fight will look. The 28-year-old, earlier this year, claimed that a fight between him and Davis was close to being made official. "That was on the one yard as well, but he has to rematch Lamont Roach. 'He wants to get that back. Then we will be back in discussions with Mr. Gervonta. But this is the nature of boxing, you have massive fights on the one-yard line and then they fall through,' he said on the Ariel Helwani Show. He added that the fight would be sanctioned as an exhibition event. Speaking about the rules, Paul revealed: 'It would be an exhibition, 10 three-minute rounds. No restrictions, just the fact we couldn't actually get it professionally sanctioned.' When asked what weight the clash would be contested at, the 'Problem Child' replied: "195." Reporter Mike Coppinger said that the November fight could look like the Logan Paul (Jake's older brother) vs Floyd Mayweather match in 2021. 'When Floyd Mayweather faced Jake's brother Logan in an exhibition, Mayweather couldn't weigh more than 160 while Logan was capped at 190. Would expect some similar exhibition rules for weigh in here,' the reporter wrote on X, platform formerly known as Twitter. "Gervonta Davis was slated for a title fight rematch with Lamont Roach in August while Jake Paul was in talks for a major step-up against Anthony Joshua, the former heavyweight champion. Instead, they will meet each other in what amounts to a show that will no doubt do big business, but is less fighting than it is entertainment given the weight disparity and exhibition rules."

'The Ba***ds of Bollywood': Aryan Khan says he was nervous, admitted to using teleprompter
Aryan Khan , who has made his directorial debut with the upcoming streaming show 'The Ba***ds of Bollywood', had fun at the stage, and also engaged in a banter with the media during the launch of the first look of his show. The first look was unveiled at the YRF studios in the Andheri area of Mumbai on Wednesday. During the event, Aryan, who is also the son of the Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan , spoke with the media stationed at the venue. He admitted to being nervous, and shared how he covered all corners for his first media address. He told the media, "I have been practising nonstop! In fact, I am so nervous that the line is included in the teleprompter. If there is no electricity here all of a sudden, I have kept a paper ready, along with a torch. And even then, if I make a mistake, my dad is here (Shah Rukh turned to show a printout of the speech pasted on his back). After all of this, if I make a mistake, please forgive me, this is my first time". SRK perfectly fulfilled his daddy duties as he introduced the cast of the show in his inimitable style and playful humour, including Bobby Deol, Lakshya , Sahher Bambba , Manoj Pahwa, Mona Singh, Manish Chaudhari, Raghav Juyal, Anya Singh , and Vijayant Kohli with Rajat Bedi and Gautami Kapoor . by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Talking about his son's debut, SRK earlier said in a statement, "It's a proud moment to see Aryan carve out his vision with such clarity and edge. This is storytelling that's sharp, self-aware, and unapologetically bold, and I think audiences on Netflix will connect to the heart of it as much as its style". Elsewhere, during the event, Aryan also joked that the teleprompter gave up, and said, "Now, I won't say anything. Instead, I'll let me my work speak". Produced by Red Chillies Entertainments Pvt. Ltd, the series is created by Aryan Khan, and co-creators Bilal Siddiqi and Manav Chauhan, all of whom have also written the series. 'The Ba***ds of Bollywood' is set to drop on September 18.
