A suspense-filled Tamil thriller lands on Aha and Sun NXT – Here’s why it’s worth watching.
The gripping Tamil crime thriller Manidargal, which captivated audiences during its theatrical run, is now streaming on Aha Tamil and Sun NXT. Directed by Ram Indra, the film is based on real-life events and has earned an impressive 9.0 rating on IMDb, making it one of the most acclaimed recent releases in the genre.
Originally released in theatres on May 30, Manidargal quickly became a box office hit thanks to its intense screenplay and suspense-driven plot. The film unfolds over a single night and centers around a group of six friends whose lives spiral out of control after a wild party.
What begins as a carefree night of celebration soon turns into a nightmare, as a shocking incident leaves them questioning each other’s motives and truths. With trust eroding and tensions rising, the film keeps viewers hooked with twist after twist.
The title Manidargal, meaning “People,” reflects the deeply human flaws and emotions explored throughout the narrative. Starring Kapil Velavan and Daksha in the lead roles, the cast also includes Gunavanthan Dhanapal, Arjundev Saravanan, and Samba Shivam, who deliver solid performances that heighten the tension.
