Rio Raj and Vartika’s sci‑fi rom‑com “Ram And Leela” lands on Prime Video; drops just a month after theaters

In a swift move that has left Tamil cinema fans buzzing, the science‑fiction romantic comedy “Ram And Leela” is set to hit Amazon Prime Video on September 18, 2026, just a month after its theatrical debut on August 21. The film, penned and helmed by Ramachandrran Kannan, stars Rio Raj as the earnest 30‑year‑old Raghuram, better known as Ram, and Vartika as the enigmatic Leela.

The plot begins like any modern love story: Ram, who has endured 50 matrimonial rejections, falls for Leela during a local train ride. She agrees to marry him but insists he cannot see her after 6 PM. Curiosity drives Ram to uncover what happens to her each evening, leading to a series of comedic misunderstandings with his family and friends. The twist arrives when Ram learns that Leela’s family is linked to an ancient alien race, the Anunnaki, and that a mysterious biological transformation occurs after sunset, explaining her odd rule.

Production credits read like a star‑studded roster. Co‑writer Aakash Poojith joins Kannan, while R. Ravindran and Sudharsan produce under Trident Arts and EYWA Entertainments. Music is composed by Ankit Menon, cinematography by Mallikarjun, and editing handled by YNC Shiva. The supporting cast features Chetan, Munishkanth, Malavika Avinash, Deepa Venkat, and Makapa Anand, among others. Behind‑the‑scenes talent includes art director G. Durairaj, action choreographer Abishek Srinivas, and VFX head Arunraj V.

For viewers who missed the August release, the digital premiere on Prime Video promises an accessible way to experience the film’s blend of romance, humor, and speculative sci‑fi. With its quick transition from theaters to streaming, “Ram And Leela” offers fans a chance to revisit the quirky love story and its alien twist from the comfort of home.
