Kaadhal Enbadhu Podhu Udamai, the recently released Tamil film starring actors Lijomol Jose, Rohini and others, is gearing up for its OTT release.

The film is a poignant take on a same-sex relationship between two women, set against the backdrop of one of them coming out to her parents.
Even as there have been several attempts to normalise homosexuality, the taboo and societal stigma around the topic is evident even today. Amid this, the recently released Tamil film Kaadhal Enbadhu Podhu Udamai is a gentle yet strong take on the love between two women, and how one of them confronts her parents and comes out of the closet. The film, which released in theatres for Valentine’s Day, will begin streaming on Tentkotta from March 14 onwards.

Even as the representation of LGBTQ is only developing in the landscape of Indian cinema, international shows have already begun to embrace, with many streaming titles coming out with empathetic storylines. Some of them include Euphoria starring Zendaya, British series Heartstopper on Netflix, and Sex Education.
Having said that, a subscription to OTTplay Premium also allows you to access many content that deals with sensitive portrayal of queerness, with a few titles being Leopard Skin, Vida, and Minx, which are available on Lionsgate Play.
