Madras Matinee fared fairly well at the box office when it came out on June 6, 2025, and was welcomed with a mixed reaction from the people. The slice-of-life Tamil drama is now all set to find its way onto OTT. What makes the film stand out is the manner in which it presents the actual lives of working-class individuals, without attempting to present things as nicer than they truly are.
The makers have locked its OTT premiere on SUN NXT, where Madras Matinee will start streaming from July 4, 2025. SUN NXT confirmed the news with a post on their official X handle, sharing a poster of the movie with the caption, “Every street has a story. Every home, a heartbeat! Madras Matinee is a tribute to the unsung heroes around us — fathers who sacrifice, families who hold on, and dreams that rise from everyday lives.”

What Is Madras Matinee About?
It is written and directed by Karthikeyan Mani and revolves around an aging sci-fi writer, Jyoti Ramayya, who is requested by his caretaker to pen the day-to-day problems of ordinary people rather than his fantasy tales. Reluctantly, he starts working on a story about Kannan, an auto driver, and his wife Shelly, who is a garbage collector.
