The Kollywood action thriller Alangu has made its way to OTT platforms just 20 days after its theatrical release. The film, which debuted in theaters on December 27, is now available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video starting this Friday.
The movie features Gunanidhi in his Kollywood debut, alongside seasoned actors Chemban Vinod Jose and Kali Venkat. Directed by S.P. Shakthivel, Alangu combines intense action sequences with a compelling storyline rooted in real-life events.
Alangu explores the socio-political dynamics and cultural conflicts between villagers living on the Kerala-Tamil Nadu border. The narrative delves into themes of survival, loyalty, and the bond between humans and animals.
The story follows Dharma, portrayed by Gunanidhi, an orphan who migrates from Tamil Nadu to Kerala for work, accompanied by his loyal pet dog. The antagonist, Augustine, played by Chemban Vinod Jose, is a powerful local politician in the border region. When Augustine’s daughter is bitten by a stray dog, he orders a mass culling of dogs in the area.
Dharma’s pet becomes a target, prompting him to confront Augustine’s men. This clash escalates into a larger conflict, revealing Augustine’s personal vendetta against Dharma. The movie captures the ensuing struggle and its impact on the lives of the characters.
Director S.P. Shakthivel adopts a distinctive approach by incorporating a mix of Tamil and Malayalam dialogues to reflect the cultural diversity of the setting. Malayalam-speaking characters are portrayed by actors from Kerala, while Tamil dialogues are delivered by Kollywood actors.
Alangu received positive reviews during its theatrical run for its gripping narrative, action sequences, and emotional depth. The performances of Gunanidhi, Chemban Vinod Jose, and Kali Venkat have been widely appreciated. The film’s visuals, set against a forest backdrop, and its music composed by Ajesh, have also garnered praise. With its swift transition to OTT, Alangu is expected to reach a wider audience.
