Netflix is set to release its first Tamil original film of 2025, TEST, on April 4. This emotional drama intertwines the lives of three individuals beyond the cricket field, exploring themes of ambition, sacrifice, and courage.
Starring industry icons R. Madhavan, Nayanthara, and Siddharth, alongside the beloved Meera Jasmine, TEST brings together these powerhouse performers for the first time. The film is backed by YNOT Studios, known for its bold storytelling, and marks the directorial debut of producer-turned-director S. Sashikanth.
Speaking about his transition to direction, Sashikanth shared, “Stepping into the director’s chair for TEST was both exhilarating and deeply personal. This film is about resilience and how life itself is the greatest test of all. I’m grateful to YNOT Studios, Netflix, and my incredible team for bringing this vision to life.”
Monika Shergill, Vice-President of Content at Netflix India, described the film as a “deeply compelling drama thriller” that pushes the moral boundaries of its three protagonists—a national-level cricketer, a genius scientist, and a passionate teacher. She added, “Set against the high-stakes world of cricket, TEST is an emotional rollercoaster that forces its characters to make life-altering choices.”
With its star-studded cast and gripping storyline, TEST promises to deliver a unique cinematic experience. As the characters face life’s toughest decisions, viewers can expect a thrilling narrative where every choice counts. TEST will be available for streaming on Netflix worldwide from April 4.
