South Indian superstar Dhanush has consistently delivered box office hits, and his 50th film, Raayan, is no exception. Released on July 26, Raayan has made a significant impact at the box office, continuing to garner praise from both critics and audiences alike. This action-packed drama also marks Dhanush’s second foray into directing.
For those who haven’t yet experienced Dhanush’s magic in this Tamil action drama, there’s good news. Reports indicate that Amazon Prime Video has acquired the OTT streaming rights for Raayan. Viewers can mark their calendars as the film is set to premiere on the streaming platform starting August 23. Raayan will be available in Tamil, with dubbed versions in Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi, catering to audiences in India and over 240 countries and territories worldwide.
Produced by Kalanithi Maran under the Sun Pictures banner, Raayan features an impressive ensemble cast, including Selva Raghavan, Saravanan, SJ Suryah, Sundeep Kishan, Dushara Vijayan, Prakash Raj, Kalidas Jayaram, and Aparna Balamurali in pivotal roles.
The storyline follows the journey of four siblings who flee their village and take refuge in a city. The characters include Manickam (Kalidas Jayaram), a principled college student; Muthu (Sundeep Kishan), who is more impulsive; and Raayan (Dhanush), the protagonist who assumes the role of a protective father figure. Their close-knit relationship centers around their sister, Durga (Dushara Vijayan). As the plot unfolds, Raayan’s attempts to secure Durga’s marriage entangle him in a power struggle between two gangsters, Durai (Saravanan) and Sethu (SJ Suryah). The film then showcases Raayan’s determination to safeguard his family amidst escalating conflicts.
According to reports, Raayan has amassed over Rs 152 crore by its third week of release, with Rs 79 crore grossed at the Tamil box office, making it the highest-grossing Tamil film of the year so far.
In the near future, Dhanush will direct Nilavuku Enmel Ennadi Kobam, a romantic-comedy drama. The movie is slated for release on December 21 and stars Anikha Surendran, Mathew Thomas, Priya Prakash Varrier, and others.
