Cinema VinesIdhayam Murali, the Tamil coming‑of‑age romantic drama featuring Atharvaa, opened in theatres on 10 July 2026. The film, directed, co‑written and produced by debutant Aakash Baskaran under the Dawn Pictures banner, is still showing across Tamil Nadu and other regions, with audiences flocking to the big screen for the youthful love story.
Atharvaa leads a strong ensemble that includes Kayadu Lohar, Preity Mukhundhan, Natty Subramaniam, Ramki, Thaman S, Niharika NM, Rakshan, Dravid Selvam, Sudhakar and Pragya Nagra, while Fahadh Faasil appears in a special cameo. The music, composed by Thaman S, is available on the Think Music label, and the film’s visual style was crafted by cinematographers Manoj Paramahamsa and CH Sai. Editing was handled by Pradeep E. Ragav, with production design by M.R. Karthik Rajkumar.
Although the theatrical run continues, the makers are concentrating on maximizing cinema revenue before moving to the digital arena. The film’s post‑theatrical streaming rights have been secured by Netflix, but neither the producers nor the streaming giant have yet announced a release date.
Viewers who wish to watch Idhayam Murali from home will need to wait for an official announcement from Netflix. Until then, the movie remains exclusive to theatres, following the standard window between theatrical and OTT releases.
