Immortal’s SonyLIV premiere set for Oct 30

Tamil horror romance Immortal, starring GV Prakash Kumar and Kayadu Lohar, has locked its streaming date: SonyLIV will premiere the film on October 30, 2026. That gives the title a quick second window after its September 4 theatrical release.

SonyLIV announced the digital premiere on social media with a Tamil line that translates as “A new world… an immortal love story.” The tagline points to the film’s long-game mystery, which starts roughly a thousand years before the present-day plot.

What SonyLIV has confirmed

The key dates and names around the release are:

• Theatrical release: September 4, 2026
• OTT premiere: October 30, 2026 on SonyLIV
• Lead pair: GV Prakash Kumar and Kayadu Lohar
• Supporting cast: TM Karthik, Kumar Natarajan and Lollu Sabha Maaran
• ETimes review: 2 stars out of 5

A cheap room with a very dark catch

GV Prakash Kumar plays Magi, a young man who works at his uncle’s printing press while searching for an affordable place to live in Chennai. When Sindhu, played by Kayadu Lohar, offers him a room in her luxurious apartment at an unusually low rent, he accepts without understanding what the bargain is really costing him.

The danger becomes clear once Magi moves in: the building begins to feel like a trap, and escape starts to look impossible. The film roots that present-day terror in an ancient mystery, opening with a tribal couple whose child is born with supernatural qualities about 1,000 years ago and setting an ancient evil into motion.

What the ETimes review says

Immortal has already received a two-star review from ETimes. The review took issue with the execution and the film’s dependence on familiar horror conventions, calling it “a textbook of horror film templates with the blandest execution.” It also drew a contrast with Pizza, making the point that a trapped character only makes viewers worry when relatable traits and motivations have been established first.

That note is useful for anyone deciding whether to press play. The premise has the machinery of a solid horror romance; the review suggests the film struggles to make Magi’s fear feel earned once the doors close.

Why the SonyLIV date matters

The gap between the theatrical release on September 4 and the SonyLIV premiere on October 30 is under two months. For a Tamil genre film, that quick turnaround gives audiences who missed the cinema run an easy chance to catch up while the title is still being discussed.

The streaming window also places the film in front of a national audience, not just the Tamil theatrical crowd. For Hindi film fans who track the southern industries, the subtitled stream is the simplest way to sample the horror romance and judge whether its two-star review is the final word.
