Tamil blockbuster Kudumbasthan [Family Man] gets ZEE5 digital premiere

Tamil blockbuster ‘Kudumbasthan’, described as a wild, laugh-out-loud ride, dropped for its digital premiere on ZEE5 Global this week.

Directed by Rajeshwar Kalisamy in his debut outing, the drama brings together an all-star cast featuring K. Manikandan and Saanve Megghana in the lead, with Nivedita Rajappan, Guru Somasundaram, R. Sundarrajan, and Kudassanad Kanakam adding their own hilarious touch.

Kalisamy shares: "As a debut director, ‘Kudumbasthan’ has been an incredible journey of bringing together a fantastic team and creating a film that combines humor with real-life struggles. It’s been rewarding to see how audiences connected with the characters and laughed along with Naveen’s misadventures in theaters.

“The overwhelming response has been truly humbling, and I’m thrilled that the film will now reach an even wider audience on ZEE5 Global. We’ve received such positive feedback from fans who appreciate the heart and humor of the story, and I’m hopeful that the digital premiere will continue this wave of love and laughter."

The story revolves around Naveen (Manikandan), a lovable but hopelessly unlucky graphic designer, who finds his life spiraling into chaos when he loses his job right after his wife, Vennila (Megghana), reveals she’s pregnant. What follows is a rollercoaster of bad decisions, mounting debts, and enough awkward family moments to make you cringe — and laugh till you cry!

K. Manikandan says: “Playing Naveen in ‘Kudumbasthan’ has been an absolute rollercoaster of emotions, from the highs of hilarious moments to the lows of chaotic misadventures. Naveen’s character is someone we can all relate to — trying to keep up appearances, juggling responsibilities, and dealing with the mess life throws at you.”

The plot thickens when Naveen’s grand plan to keep up appearances in front of his judgmental family blows up spectacularly. With a pregnant wife, a shattered ego, and a family gathering on the horizon, Naveen must face his greatest challenge yet: can he salvage his pride before everything blows up in his face? Or will he become the punchline of his own life’s joke?
