Anbil Avan’s 70-Foot Stunt Hits SonyLIV on Nov 13

Ashok Selvan and Preity Mukhundhan’s romantic action thriller Anbil Avan has a home-screen date. The film, which opened in theatres on October 2, will premiere on SonyLIV on November 13, giving audiences a chance to catch up on a movie built around romance, family emotion and a very unsettling new house.

From hill-station mystery to living-room watch

The plot centres on a young couple whose happy marriage takes a turn after the husband buys an independent house in a hill station, hoping to fulfil his wife’s long-standing wish. What should be a dream start becomes a run of strange occurrences and dangers, and the film follows them as they try to escape the trouble surrounding the home.

Ashok Selvan has built a following with roles that lean on understated charm, and pairing him with Preity Mukhundhan gives the film a young, relatable centre as the house turns hostile. That balance of warmth and dread is a big reason the film’s digital life could be louder than its theatrical run.

Five languages, one premiere date

SonyLIV will stream the film in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi. For our readers, that matters because a Tamil film with a Hindi dub is a much easier recommendation for Hindi-speaking viewers who may have skipped the theatrical run.

The supporting cast includes Kathir, Balu, Revathy, Abdul Samad and Maha Delhi Ganesh; the film is directed by debutant Karthikeyan and produced by Ayngaran International and Happy High Pictures.

The 70-foot set piece

One of the most talked-about details around the release is Ashok Selvan’s action work. The actor reportedly performed a 70-foot jump into water without a body double, a sequence that required considerable effort and has become part of the film’s pre-streaming conversation.

For viewers, that is a concrete reason to pay attention during the action beats rather than treating Anbil Avan purely as a romance.

Why the SonyLIV date is worth marking

The run from an October 2 theatrical opening to a November 13 streaming premiere is a reminder of how quickly regional titles now reach digital platforms. Here is what to do before the 13th:

• Add the film to your watchlist on SonyLIV so the title is ready when you are.
• Pick your preferred language from the five options; Hindi viewers can stick with the dubbed version.
• Keep the 70-foot stunt scene in mind as the moment to judge the film’s thriller ambition.

For Total Filmi readers who like the wider Indian picture, this is also a useful test of how a debutant director’s small thriller performs after the theatrical run, with a multilingual digital drop doing the work of reaching new audiences.
