Madras Matinee OTT release: How to watch the Tamil movie online? It's a story ‘straight from the heart of Chennai'
Madras Matinee, a Tamil slice-of-life drama directed and written by Karthikeyan Mani, is all set for its OTT release. Starring Kaali Venkat, Sathyaraj and Roshini Haripriyan, the film tells the story of an ageing sci-fi writer who is challenged by his caretaker to write about an ordinary man. The film mainly focuses on Kaali Venkat, his family and their emotional journey. It begins with Sathyaraj's character, Jyoti Ramaya. He is a writer dreaming of Steven Spielberg making his superhero script. Jyoti Ramaya, though reluctant at first, starts writing the story of Kannan (played by Kaali Venkat), a TukTuk driver. The writer slowly discovers that common lives are full of depth, sacrifice and emotion. The film ends with a meaningful climax that stays true to life. Though there's no literal prize money, the true reward here is human connection. Released in cinemas on June 6, the movie received a mixed response. Madras Matinee had a start with ₹ 12 lakh on Day 1 of the box office. It collected ₹ 29 lakh on Day 2 and peaked on Day 3 with ₹ 31 lakh. Box-office collections gradually declined, dropping to ₹ 1 lakh per day by the third week. Despite a good opening weekend, the movie couldn't maintain momentum and saw a steep fall. Madras Matinee collected ₹ 2.72 crore gross at the box office in 21 days, as per Sacnilk. While the budget of the movie is not publicly available, some media publications claim that it was made with ₹ 4 crore. Madras Matinee is set for its OTT release on SUN NXT from July 4. The OTT platform wrote on social media, 'A story straight from the heart of Chennai — of dreams, dignity, and the everyday hero we call Appa.'
