OTT release date, time and platform
Aan Paavam Pollathathu makes its digital debut on November 28, 2025, shortly after wrapping up its theatrical run that started on October 31, 2025. The film is available to stream on JioHotstar, with viewers also able to access it through the OTT aggregation service OTTplay Premium, which carries JioHotstar among other platforms.
The movie streams in multiple audio options, allowing viewers to watch it in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada and Malayalam, typically with English subtitles. This multi-language rollout is designed to extend the film’s reach beyond the core Tamil audience and tap into the broader Indian OTT viewer base that enjoys dubbed romantic comedies and family dramas.
Key Details:
Story, genre and tone
Aan Paavam Pollathathu is a romantic comedy‑drama that revolves around the relationship of newly married couple Siva and Sakthi, whose love story takes a sharp turn after marriage. Siva, an IT professional with a more traditional outlook, and Sakthi, a feminist with a progressive mindset, find their differences escalating into a hilarious yet emotional separation and a looming divorce court battle.
The narrative focuses on how love, ego, personal beliefs and family expectations collide, bringing both laughter and sentiment as the couple navigates counseling, legal drama and interference from families and lawyers. The film maintains a light-hearted tone with strong situational comedy while still exploring serious themes like gender roles in marriage, communication gaps and the pressures on young couples in Indian middle-class families.
Cast, crew and performances
Aan Paavam Pollathathu reunites Rio Raj and Malavika Manoj after their successful pairing in the 2023 film Joe, giving the film strong recall value among younger audiences. Rio Raj plays Siva, the somewhat orthodox husband, while Malavika Manoj portrays Sakthi, the outspoken and independent wife whose feminist views frequently clash with her partner’s expectations.
Supporting performances are led by RJ Vigneshkanth and Sheela Rajkumar as key lawyers involved in the couple’s case, adding both humour and emotional heft to the courtroom and counseling sequences. The film marks the directorial debut of Kalaiarasan Thangavel, with the story, screenplay and dialogues co-written by him and Sivakumar Murugeshan, under the Drumsticks Productions banner of producer Vedikkaranpatti S. Sakthivel.
Technical team, runtime and language options
Madhesh Manickam handles cinematography, giving the film a bright, contemporary visual style that suits its urban, middle-class backdrop and domestic settings. The music is composed by Siddhu Kumar, whose songs and background score aim to balance romance, humour and emotional beats, adding to the film’s overall commercial appeal.
The runtime is around 1 hour 59 minutes, making it a compact watch for OTT audiences who prefer sub‑2‑hour films for weekend and weekday binges. With U/A certification and five language tracks, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada and Malayalam, the film is positioned as family-friendly content that can be comfortably watched at home by a broad age group.
Box office performance and reception
Aan Paavam Pollathathu released in cinemas on October 31, 2025, and steadily grew through positive word of mouth, especially among family audiences, ultimately emerging as a surprise box office winner. Reports indicate that the film collected around ₹25 crore worldwide, a strong figure for a mid-budget romantic comedy anchored by content and performances rather than heavy star power.
Early critical and audience reactions highlighted the film’s mix of humour, realistic marital conflicts and emotionally satisfying moments, praising the chemistry between Rio Raj and Malavika Manoj as a key strength. The success in theatres built curiosity around its digital release, making the OTT debut one of the more anticipated launches in the Tamil rom-com space this season.
Why the OTT release matters
The confirmed OTT release of Aan Paavam Pollathathu on JioHotstar provides a chance for viewers who missed its theatrical run, especially in smaller towns or non‑Tamil regions, to finally catch the film in high quality from home. With multi-language dubs and subtitle support, the movie can now appeal to a pan‑Indian audience familiar with urban family dramas and relationship-based comedies from various regional industries.
For fans of Rio Raj and Malavika Manoj, as well as followers of their earlier collaboration Joe, this release serves as a convenient opportunity to watch their latest pairing and share it with family and friends on a widely used OTT platform. The film’s relatable take on marriage, humour rooted in everyday situations and its balanced portrayal of tradition versus feminism make it well-suited to streaming, where word-of-mouth and social media chatter can further boost its reach over time.
