Starring Atharvaa and Lavanya Tripathi in lead roles, the film will be available on Amazon Prime Video from October 17, 2025, simultaneously in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi.
Critically acclaimed upon its theatrical release, ‘Thanal’ marks a significant comeback for Lavanya Tripathi after motherhood.

Following a bank robbery and subsequent shootout, the gang vows to “destroy the police.” The film captures intense confrontations between Akhil (Atharvaa) and his comrades against the ruthless criminals, keeping viewers at the edge of their seats.
Amidst the action, the film also explores personal stakes, as Akhil falls in love with Anu (Lavanya Tripathi), facing opposition from her father due to his lack of stable employment. Joining the police force with his friends, Akhil immediately finds himself in the gang’s deadly trap. The night-long struggle in a mining area highlights not only survival but also the emotional depth of human relationships under pressure.
‘Thanal’ stands out as more than just a thriller. With its mix of high-octane action, suspense, and human drama, the film examines hope amidst darkness, making it a must-watch for fans of the genre. The OTT release on Amazon Prime Video ensures that audiences who missed the theatrical run can now experience the tension, drama, and powerful performances of Atharvaa and Lavanya Tripathi from the comfort of their homes.
