Controversy and Court Petition
Interestingly, the film’s OTT release comes after a legal hurdle. Porkodi, a resident of Tiruvallur, filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the Madras High Court seeking to halt the OTT release. The petitioner claimed that "Thangalaan" contains scenes that allegedly insult the Vaishnava community while glorifying Buddhist ideologies. The plea argued that the film's OTT release could trigger religious unrest between the two communities. After a court trial, the matter was resolved, allowing the movie to be released on streaming platforms.

Storyline of "Thangalaan"
Set against the backdrop of a gold hunt in 1850 during British rule, "Thangalaan" is an intense period drama. Vikram plays the titular role of Thangalaan, a man living with his family in the village of Veppur. His fate takes a dramatic turn when he is compelled to accompany an English nobleman named Clement on a quest for gold. The journey is fraught with bizarre and mysterious encounters.
