India, Feb. 10 -- Even as Vijay's much-anticipated movie Jana Nayagan was caught up in censor issues and Sivakarthikeyan-led Parasakthi did not quite live up to its expectations, Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil emerged as the surprise hit in the Pongal 2026 race at the box office. Starring actor Jiiva and helmed by Nithish Sahadev, the Tamil film is set for its digital debut on Netflix this week. Apart from Tamil, the comedy drama will be available to stream in Malayalam, Telugu and Kannada.
