Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil OTT Release: The Tamil political satire Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil made its theatrical debut on January 15, 2026, positioning itself as a socially rooted drama with elements of humour and conflict drawn from everyday village life. Directed by Nithish Sahadev, the film features Jiiva in the lead role, supported by Thambi Ramaiah, Ilavarasu and Prathana Nathan in key parts. The film was released amid a crowded Pongal-season slate, where smaller, content-driven films often rely on word of mouth to find their audience.
Set in a rural backdrop, the film follows Jeevarathnam, the president of a village panchayat, who is tasked with overseeing the wedding arrangements at Ilavarasu’s house. The situation takes an unexpected turn when a death occurs in a neighbouring household on the eve of the celebrations.
As both families insist on conducting their respective rituals, a wedding and a funeral, at the same time, tensions escalate. Caught between the two sides, Jeevarathnam is forced to step in and manage the standoff as chaos unfolds in the village.
Technical Crew And OTT Release Details
