Nizharkudai OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Devayani and Vijjith's emotional Tamil family drama
Nizharkudai OTT Release Date: Devayani recently headlined this Tamil family alongside Vijjith, which arrived in theatres on 9th May. Written and directed by Shiva Arumugam, the film is finally ready to make its digital debut. Nizharkudai will be streaming on Aha Video starting May 30, 2025. Here's everything you need to know about the saga ahead of its premiere. Nizharkudai's cast and crew Produced by Jothisiva under his Dharshan films, this Naren Balakumar musical is cinematographed by RB Gurudev and edited by Rolex. Nizharkudai also stars Kanmani Manoharan, Raj Kapoor, Vadivukkarasi, Ilavarasu, Neelima Rani, Niharika, Ahana and Dharshan Siva among others. Nizharkudai's plot overview Nizharkudai follows Lancy and Niranjan, a young couple from different religions who are focused on building a life in the US. Their little daughter, Nila, has a medical condition that causes seizures if she cries too much. Since her parents are busy chasing careers and visa approvals, Nila is mostly left in the care of others. After a rough experience with one babysitter, they hire Jyoti, an older Sri Lankan refugee living in an old-age home. Jyoti has her own emotional baggage, but she quickly forms a loving, motherly bond with Nila. Her care and affection for the child feel genuine, and their relationship becomes the heart of the film. Meanwhile, the parents' constant arguments and neglect come across as forced and unconvincing. The story suddenly shifts gears when Nila gets kidnapped, creating a sense of urgency that feels a bit over-the-top. Inspector Ilavarasu starts an investigation, and in the end, the big reveal is that Nila was taken by her own grandparents, who meant no harm. Nizharkudai's review The Times of India rated the movie 1.5 out of 5, and a part of their review read, 'If you're looking for subtle storytelling, Nizharkudai might not be your first stop. Nizharkudai tries to tackle important themes like parental neglect and the sacrifices made for ambition. It was like a lecture disguised as a movie; even dramas can be fun, but this one was just preachy. In its eagerness to deliver a message, the film forgets that even the most important stories need to breathe.'
