The wait is over for fans of Tamil cinema’s most talked-about fantasy-thriller. Kingston, the theatrical hit that transported audiences into a dark and enigmatic coastal world, is finally heading to OTT. ZEE5 has officially announced that the much-loved film will begin streaming exclusively on its platform from April 13 at 12 noon.
From Theatres to Streams: A Coastal Curse Reawakens
Directed by Kamal Prakash and headlined by a transformative GV Prakash, Kingston is not your run-of-the-mill action flick. Set against the haunting backdrop of a fishing village plagued by ancient fears, the film blends folklore, fantasy, and high-octane action into a narrative that’s as eerie as it is enthralling.
At the heart of it all is Kingston himself — a tough-as-nails kidnapper working under a local crime boss, whose conscience is stirred when he discovers the exploitation of his own people. Taking matters into his own hands, Kingston dares to enter forbidden waters cursed by history and silence. What he finds there could either doom or deliver his village.
A Role Like No Other
According to a report from IndiaGlitz, for GV Prakash, the role marked a turning point in his career. Speaking about the film’s OTT debut, he said, “Playing Kingston was one of the most challenging and rewarding roles of my life. The supernatural elements and the emotional depth of the character made it an unforgettable experience. The theatre response was overwhelming, and I’m thrilled that fans can now relive that magic on ZEE5.”
Director Kamal Prakash echoed the sentiment, saying, “Blending genres like fantasy, action, and folklore is never easy, but Kingston is a story we believed in from day one. GV Prakash gave everything to this role. I can’t wait for more people to discover this world we created.”
Lloyd Xavier, SVOD South Vice President of ZEE5, highlighted the film’s importance in pushing genre boundaries: “ Kingston is bold, genre-defying, and a proud representation of Tamil cinema’s evolution. We're proud to host its OTT release. This is not just a film—it’s an experience.”
Set Your Watchlist
For those who missed it in theatres—or for those who want to dive back into its waves of mystery— Kingston begins streaming exclusively on ZEE5 from April 13, 12 PM. So grab your popcorn and get ready to plunge into the supernatural seas where one man’s courage could change everything.
