Since the advent of Over-The-Top (OTT) platforms, entertainment has seen no shortage. Films released on the big screen often make their way to these digital platforms after their theatrical run, allowing viewers to enjoy new movies and series from the comfort of their homes. Crime and suspense genres, in particular, have garnered immense love from fans. The Tamil film 'Kaantha' (कांथा), released on Netflix, has captured audiences' hearts and secured the number 1 spot on the trending list.

You Will Be Astonished by Its Shocking Suspense

Directed by Selvamani Selvaraj, this film runs for approximately 2 hours and 28 minutes. It is a period crime drama. The story is largely based on the life of the famous M. K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar, which makes the film even more engaging. Audiences have highly praised the film's content and performances, which is why it is rapidly trending on Netflix.

M.K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar's Luxurious Lifestyle

Regarding the film's narrative, after becoming a superstar, M.K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar led a luxurious lifestyle, reportedly eating from a golden plate. Before India's independence, he owned several expensive cars, including a Mercedes. He possessed three large bungalows, and his movements were accompanied by a convoy of vehicles. However, as the saying goes, when wealth intoxicates, one loses sight of everything.

M.K.T.'s life took a dramatic turn when he was accused of the murder of film journalist Lakshmikantan and had to face imprisonment. He was sentenced to 4 years in this murder case, but after a retrial two years later, his sentence was reduced by two years. After his release from prison, M.K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar quit acting, and his stardom gradually faded. He went from riches to rags, and due to the ravages of time, everything he had was ruined. His story is quite poignant.
