29 is the latest Tamil romantic-comedy starring Vidhu and Preethi Asrani in the lead roles. The film, which made its theatrical debut on May 8, 2026, was directed by Ratna Kumar. During its initial cinema run, the project garnered mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike.
The film has now made its official digital debut on Netflix for audiences worldwide. To accommodate non-Tamil viewers, the streaming platform is offering the movie in Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam, alongside its original Tamil audio. This streaming release offers a second chance for the film to find a wider audience and potentially perform better on the small screen.
The story follows Sathya (Vidhu), a 29-year-old man struggling with his identity and life direction as he approaches his milestone 30th birthday. His mundane life takes a major turn when he crosses paths with Viji (Preethi Asrani), a highly ambitious IAS aspirant. As their relationship deepens, Sathya becomes emotionally dependent on her, causing their differing life goals to create friction. Ultimately, the narrative explores the classic themes of self-discovery, growing up, and balancing love with individuality.
Supported by a talented cast including Mahendran, Avinash, Shenaz Fathima, and Prem Kumar, the project boasts high-profile backing. The movie is a joint production venture between Karthik Subbaraj’s Stone Bench Creations and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s G Squad. Additionally, the film features a musical score composed by Sean Roldan.
