Vijay Sethupathi’s milestone 50th film Ace released in theatres on May 23, 2025. The movie has now available on OTT. Directed by Arumuga Kumar, this Tamil language romantic crime comedy had high expectations, but received mixed reactions in cinemas. However, its early OTT release could give the film a wider audience.
Starring Rukmini Vasanth in her Tamil debut, along with Yogi Babu, Babloo Prithiveeraj, and BS Avinash, the film brings together elements of humour, action, and suspense. While some found the theatrical experience underwhelming, the digital version is being welcomed for its performances and lighter tone.
About the Movie
The story follows Kannan, played by Vijay Sethupathi, a man looking for a new life overseas. But when a planned heist spirals out of control, he gets pulled into the dark world of crime and betrayal. What starts off as a hopeful journey soon becomes a struggle for survival, forcing Kannan to rely on his sharp mind and instincts.
The film plays out as a mix of thrills and laughs. There are emotional moments, strong character interactions, and a few unexpected turns. Yogi Babu provides comic relief, while Rukmini Vasanth plays her role with quiet strength. Though the pace slows in parts, the overall experience is a decent watch for fans of the genre.
Vijay Sethupathi is once again praised for his effortless acting, and Yogi Babu is seen as a major highlight, delivering humour and presence throughout. Rukmini Vasanth’s debut has also been well received.
