December 2025, or at least the first half of the ongoing month, could turn out to be very rewarding for SonyLIV and its subscribers, thanks to the recent success of the Tamil crime thriller Kuttram Purindhavan and the rising hype around the upcoming sports drama The Real Kashmir Football Club.
Released on 5 December, Kuttram Purindhavan has already captured the attention of Indian viewers. While initial reviews noted that the seven-episode whodunnit, starring the compelling Pasupathy, takes its time to find its rhythm, the overwhelming response highlights its final act as genuinely gripping and unpredictable.
Centred on a retired pharmacist entangled in a child disappearance case, the series has received a fantastic response from viewers. Reviews have praised it for exploring complex moral dilemmas and the chilling repercussions of a single crime on a community, reminiscent of the Drishyam brand of twisted morality.
Pasupathy has received outstanding praise for conveying his character’s despair and moral ambiguity with ease.
The buzz around Kuttram Purindhavan doesn’t seem likely to settle down anytime soon. However, SonyLIV is already gearing up for another important series: The Real Kashmir Football Club, premiering on 9 December.
Inspired by the true, incredible story of two visionaries who built Kashmir’s first professional football team from scratch, the series taps directly into the platform’s strength in delivering inspirational, reality-based storytelling that reflects the spirit of SonyLIV.
Featuring powerhouse actors such as Manav Kaul and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, and directed by acclaimed filmmakers Mahesh Mathai and Rajesh Mapuskar, the series promises high production value and deeply human performances.
If The Real Kashmir Football Club lands with the critical and audience acclaim anticipated, this December slate will not only reward current subscribers with excellent content but will also ensure that SonyLIV ends the year on a high note, solidifying its position as the premium home for compelling, authentic Indian stories.
