Following a lackluster response at the box office, the Dileep-starrer ‘Thankamani’ is set to make its digital debut on an OTT platform. Viewers who missed its theatrical run have been eagerly anticipating this update. While an exact release date is yet to be confirmed, sources suggest that the action-packed drama will likely premiere on the Saina Play OTT platform in either the first or second week of April.
Directed by Ratheesh Raghunandan, ‘Thankamani’ unfolds as a gripping revenge thriller, based on real-life events that unfolded in the village of Thankamani, Idukki, in October 1986. Dileep leads the cast, with Pranitha Subhash and Neeta Pillai in key roles, alongside notable actors including Ajmal Ameer, Siddique, Sudev Nair, and Manoj K Jayan.
The film delves into the aftermath of a bus service dispute that escalates into gunfire and a police baton charge, leaving the village in turmoil.
Despite boasting a promising director and an intriguing plot based on a real incident, ‘Thankamani’ failed to captivate audiences due to its lackluster screenplay and direction. However, Dileep’s performance was praised as a highlight of this crime thriller.
Meanwhile, anticipation is high for Dileep’s upcoming drama film ‘Pavi Caretaker,’ slated for release on April 26th.
