Kingston OTT:
Kingston is a Tamil-language fantasy horror film that hit theaters on March 7, 2025. Directed by Kamal Prakash, the movie features G.V. Prakash Kumar in the lead role, alongside Divya Bharathi, Chetan, Azhagam Perumal, Elango Kumaravel and Sabumon Abdusamad. The film is produced by Zee Studios and Parallel Universe Pictures.
Set in the coastal village of Thoovathur in Tamil Nadu, the story begins in 1982 when a paranormal force curses the sea, compelling the villagers to abandon fishing—their primary livelihood. In the present day, Kingston, known as King (played by G.V. Prakash Kumar), works for a smuggling gang led by Thomas (Sabumon Abdusamad) in Thoothukudi. Upon discovering that he has been unwittingly involved in drug smuggling instead of transporting sea cucumbers, King decides to venture into the cursed sea to uncover the truth and break the curse.
Kingston received mixed reviews from critics. While the film was praised for its visual effects and background score, some critics felt that the storyline was convoluted and lacked depth. As of March 9, 2025, Kingston has earned Rs 2.12 crore in just two days, indicating a promising start at the box office.
Meanwhile , for those who prefer to watch movies online, Kingston is set to premiere on ZEE5 after its theatrical run. Although the exact streaming date has not been announced, reports suggest that the film will be available on the platform in early April 2025, depending on its box office performance.
