Gangers OTT release: When and where to watch Sundar C, Vadivelu's Tamil comedy
The Tamil comedy thriller Gangers, starring Sundar C and Vadivelu, is now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video from May 15, 2025. The film, which originally released in theatres on April 24, is now reaching audiences through the OTT platform. This move is expected to bring the laughter-filled experience right to the homes of viewers who missed the film on the big screen.
The announcement was made by the makers on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), with a fun video clip featuring Sundar C and Vadivelu to excite fans about the film’s digital release. The tweet read, "You laughed with the crowd, now laugh from your couch ❤️???? #SundarC's epic laugh-riot #Gangers ????Streaming now on @PrimeVideoIN. #GangersOnPrime.”
Plot overview and star cast
Gangers tells the story of an undercover cop, played by Sundar C, who takes up the disguise of a PT master in a school. His mission is to tackle dangerous criminals who pose a major threat. To achieve this, he secretly teams up with the school staff, forming a gang to fight back against the villains. This unique blend of comedy and action brings something different to the screen.
The film marks a reunion of Sundar C and Vadivelu after 15 long years. Their chemistry brings a nostalgic touch for Tamil cinema fans. This film also marks the third collaboration between Sundar C and Catherine Tresa. Other key actors in the cast include Vani Bhojan, Bagavathi Perumal, Hareesh Peradi, Mime Gopi, Munishkanth, and Aruldoss.
The film has been directed by Sundar C himself, who is known for creating light-hearted, engaging entertainers that mix action and humour in a balanced way.
Soon after the release on OTT, fans started sharing their reactions on social media. Some appreciated the concept and especially Sundar C's comic timing, while others felt Vadivelu's comic acts worked only in parts.
One fan wrote, “#SundarC and #Vadivelu starrer #Gangers now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Heard that the second half of the film is good and works.... A Kollywood's Money Heist kinda film with a Twist of #SundarC's Comical timings.”
Another viewer posted, “Very much in Sundar C zone taking Heist idea this time! Went relying heavily on Vadivelu's gimmicks which ok works in moments but needed more interesting sequences to engage beyond parts... Man too looked tired at many places!”
The film received mixed to decent reviews from critics. Most agreed that the film was a timepass entertainer, with a good first half and some lag in the second. Vadivelu’s return to the screen brought joy to many fans, though some critics pointed out that the comedy could have been tighter. The film has a heist-based plot, which is not often seen in Tamil comedy films, making it a fresh concept. However, the screenplay and writing were seen as needing more energy.
According to a recent review by HT Entertainment, Gangers is a somewhat funny and partly engaging film. It is ideal for those looking for a casual watch without too many expectations.

Music and technical aspects
The film’s music has been composed by C. Sathya, and the background score adds energy to the film's dramatic scenes. The cinematography is handled neatly, capturing both the action and comedy well. The editing is decent, though some critics felt the film could have been trimmed in a few places to improve the pace.
Costumes and production design stick to the simple setting of a school and surrounding areas, matching the storyline and characters’ roles.
Now that Gangers is available on Amazon Prime Video, it opens the door for a wider audience to watch the film. For fans of Tamil cinema, Sundar C, or Vadivelu, the film offers a nostalgic and funny ride, even if it’s not perfect. The comfort of home viewing makes it more enjoyable for those looking for a weekend comedy.
