Actor Manikandan's recent family entertainer Kudumbasthan, directed by debutant Rajeshwar Kalisamy, that was supposed to stream on OTT platform Zee5 on February 28 has not yet dropped.
Reports suggest that owing to the film's continued successful theatrical run, the platform has decided to defer the streaming by a week to March 7. However, Zee5 is yet to comment on the same.
The film that was released on January 24 opened generally to critics and audiences. An excerpt from the CE review of the film reads, "If the film’s comedy accounts for half of its appeal, the performances take care of the other half. With his nuanced expressions, specific tonal stress while delivering dialogues, and brilliant dynamic with Guru Somasundaran, Manikandan truly steals the show. Guru is equally impressive, embodying the annoying relative who could exist in any family. Saanve Meghana, making her Tamil debut with Kudumbasthan, is gracefully expressive as Vennila, though her character is somewhat underutilised, leaving us wanting more of the Naveen-Vennila relationship. After Good Night and Lover, Manikandan cements his status as the quintessential boy next door with Kudumbasthan."
The film also stars actor Saanve Megghana as the female lead and Guru Somasundaram in a prominent role. R Sundarrajan, Prasanna Balachandran, and Jenson Dhivakar play supporting characters.
Backed by S Vinothkumar's Cinemaakaran banner, the film's technical team consists of cinematographer Sujith Subramaniam, editor Kannan, and music composer Vaisagh.
