Maaman OTT release date: When will the Tamil family drama, starring Soori and Aishwarya Lekshmi, start streaming online?
Maaman, directed by Prasanth Pandiyaraj, was released on May 16. The Tamil family drama got mixed reviews from critics and viewers. However, it had a blast at the box office.
According to Sacnilk, the movie collected ₹ 41.15 crore worldwide. The collection, when compared to its budget of ₹ 10 crore, makes it a super-hit at the box office.
The movie was especially popular in rural areas and with family audiences. Despite many negative reviews, it earned strong profits with over 300% return on investment (ROI).
Inba and Rekha fall in love and get married. But, their relationship faces trouble because Inba is very attached to his nephew, Laddu. This creates distance between the couple.
After many misunderstandings and separation, they realise their mistakes and reunite. They choose to balance love for each other and their families.
Maaman received mixed reviews from critics.
Latha Srinivasan found the Tamil movie 'underwhelming and overly reliant on family sentiment'. However, she praised the performances.
'When it comes to performances, Soori, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Swasika and Prateesh Sivan have done commendable jobs. Raj Kiran is apt as the 'Lion',' she wrote on Hindustan Times.
Abhinav Subramanian called it a 'flawed family tale'.
'Soori stumbles through his marriage like he's clueless (he kinda is,) playing the loving uncle a bit too perfectly. Aishwarya Lekshmi often feels like the sole representative of Planet Earth, gently suggesting that perhaps her husband might like to acknowledge her existence,' he wrote on The Times of India.
'From forgettable moments (especially since they all feel like déjà vu) to one-dimensional characters who only know how to scream their emotions rather than express them naturally, Maaman unfolds strictly according to the writer-director's will and never organically,' wrote Anandu Suresh on The Indian Express.
Maaman stars Soori, Aishwarya Lekshmi and veteran Rajkiran. After its significant success in cinemas, many are waiting for its OTT release.
On May 8, Soori revealed details about the sale of digital rights. ZeeTamil secured the satellite rights and (now called Z5) the OTT rights.
It was expected to be released online this weekend after completing its 4-week theatre run. Fans expected it to have the digital release in the second week of June, but it didn't happen.
However, it may be slightly delayed due to other releases, according to Telugu news publication Sakshi Post. Fans can expect Maaman to stream on Z5 by June 20, it added.

Amitabh Bachchan Reacts To Trolling Over Viral Cybercrime Callertune: ‘Sarkar Ko Bolo…'
Last Updated: Amitabh Bachchan silenced trolls on X with his sharp-witted responses. Take a look! Megastar Amitabh Bachchan loves to interact with his fans on social media. He is quite active on X (formerly Twitter), and frequently shares updates on the microblogging platform. On Monday, Big B hit the headlines for his sharp-witted responses to trolls who mocked him over his viral cybercrime awareness callertune. Not just this, he also gave savage replies to other jibes by trolls. Big B refused to be silenced by online negativity, and he surprised many with these witty and savage comebacks. His replies quickly went viral! On Monday, Big B posted a seemingly random tweet on X (formerly Twitter) stating, 'Ji haan huzoor, main bhi ek prashansak hoon. Toh?? (Yes, sir, I'm a fan too. So??)." An X user, in response, trolled him by writing, 'Toh phone pe bolna band kro bhay (So stop saying it on the phone)," criticising the actor for his cybercrime caller tune. Unperturbed, Big B replied with a calm retort, 'Sarkar ko bolo bhai, unhone jo kaha humne kar diya (Tell the government, I did what they told me to do)." For those unfamiliar, Amitabh Bachchan has voiced a new initiative to raise awareness about cybercrime and educate the public on digital safety. This caller tune, which plays before calls connect, features Bachchan advising listeners about common cyber threats like phishing, online scams, and identity theft. When another user commented, 'Buddha sathiya gaya hai (The old man has gone senile)," Big B responded, 'Ek din, Bhagwan naa kare voh din jaldi aaye, jab aap bhi sathiya jaaye (One day — God forbid it comes soon — you too will grow senile. But we have a saying here: 'Jo satha, wo patha (The older, the wiser)." In another instance, an X user accused him of smoking weed, to which Amitabh retorted, 'Only someone high on weed could write the way you just did." When another user criticised him for showing attitude, stating, 'Use some logic, even a calculator doesn't show this much attitude! Or else, my heart had accepted you, but the brain is saying – 'System Error: Too Much Overthinking Detected!'" Big B cleverly replied, 'Even your calculator is saying the same thing about you – overthinking!!!" On the work front, Amitabh Bachchan was last seen in the Tamil action drama film Vettaiyan, directed by TJ Gnanavel, alongside Rajinikanth. The 82-year-old superstar will reportedly be voicing the mythical character Jatayu in Nitesh Tiwari's 'Ramayana: Part 1', starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash.
