Still from Madharaasi
Written and directed by A.R. Murugadoss, the psychological action thriller Madharaasi features Sivakarthikeyan, Rukmini Vasanth, Vidyut Jammwal, Biju Menon, Vikranth, and Shabeer Kallarakkal in key roles. With a gripping storyline, spectacular action sequences, and a standout soundtrack by Anirudh Ravichander — including the chartbuster track Salambala which has won hearts. Starting October 1, Madharaasi will be available to stream exclusively on Prime Video in India and across more than 200 countries and territories worldwide, in Tamil along with dubbed versions in Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi.
Set against the backdrop of Tamil Nadu, Madharaasi follows Raghu (Sivakarthikeyan), a car showroom employee secretly battling a rare psychological disorder that makes him believe strangers are his lost relatives. When NIA officer, Premnath (Biju Menon) recruits Raghu to infiltrate a cylinder gas factory doubling as a weapons storage hub for an arms syndicate, a deadly covert mission unfolds. Raghu’s fragile mental state, his haunting past, and his tender bond with Malathi (Rukmini Vasanth), a dental student and singer, shape a story that blurs the line between delusion and destiny. With Virat (Vidyut Jammwal) and Chirag (Vikranth) leading the ruthless syndicate, Madharaasi promises an edge-of-the-seat experience, packed with emotional depth and heart-pounding action.
