We at Binged have constantly kept our readers updated on the release status – or should we say, unreleased status of Karthick Naren‘s much-talked-about thriller film, “Naragasooran“. We were also among the first to inform you that newly-aggressive streaming platform, SonyLIV, has picked up the buzzy Naragasooran for a direct to digital release on its just-created exclusive Tamil streaming arm, SonyLIV Tamil.
Now that it’s more or less certain that SonyLIV has in fact picked up Naragasooran, audiences are again getting impatient as there has been no update from the platform on the release date or even a trailer for the film. Thaen and Vaazhl, two other Tamil films films grabbed by SonyLIV, have already released on the platform.
As a result, demands for the Naragasooran release date have reached fever pitch in the last few days. Hundreds of posts land daily on social media, asking SonyLIV for an update on the release date of Naragasooran. The streamer is absolutely silent on the matter, however, as are the makers.
Current buzz on the ground says that SonyLIV plans to premiere Naragasooran on the important Independence Day weekend – that is on Friday, 13th August. Our sources in the industry also report that 13th August is the most likely date for the release of Naragasooran on SonyLIV.
The 13th August weekend is increasingly becoming the most crucial date for important releases from streaming platforms. Disney Plus Hotstar has announced the release of the much-awaited Ajay Devgn starrer, Bhuj: The Pride Of India on 13th August. Likewise, Amazon Prime Video has announced the direct digital premiere of Kargil war drama, Shershaah on 12th August. Disney Plus Hotstar is also premiering Telugu film, Maestro on 13th August.
13th August seems an apt date for the digital release of the highly anticipated and buzzy Naragasooran. After all, the film has been ready and waiting for release since 2018. There should soon be an official confirmation from SonyLIV about Naragasooran, along with the release date announcement.
Naragasooran is a thriller film, the second in Karthick Naren’s “thriller trilogy”, the first one being Dhuruvangal Pathinaaru, aka D16, a hit neo noir crime thriller. Naragasooran features a cast comprising Arvind Swamy, Shriya Saran, Sundeep Kishan, Aathmika and Indrajith Sukumaran.
Let’s hope SonyLIV releases Naragasooran on 13th August, making the Independence Day weekend something to look forward to for lovers of good cinema.
