August has opened with one of the busiest streaming windows of the year for Tamil audiences. Netflix is pushing its Tamil originals slate, Prime Video has quietly become the biggest library for post-theatrical Kollywood releases, and JioHotstar is stacking its August calendar with Tamil dramas alongside its big national titles. Here is the full breakdown of what's new, where to watch it, and what's confirmed for the days ahead.
Gatta Kusthi 2 — Netflix
The biggest Tamil OTT arrival of the week is Gatta Kusthi 2, streaming on Netflix from July 31. The Vishnu Vishal–Aishwarya Lekshmi sports comedy sequel hit theatres on July 3 and crossed roughly ₹50 crore worldwide within days, outperforming the 2022 original. The sequel flips the first film's dynamic: this time Keerthi is the one chasing a national wrestling title while Veera runs the household and raises their daughter Mathi — until a manipulative rival coach starts driving a wedge between them. Netflix is streaming it in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam.

Con City — Netflix
Netflix's Tamil original slate continues with Con City, the action thriller that premiered on July 24 and is still the platform's top Tamil pick going into this week. The film streams in Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi, making it Netflix's widest Tamil-language rollout since Blast. If you missed it during the premiere week rush, this is the weekend to catch up.

Love Oh Love — Prime Video
Love Oh Love, the romantic comedy-drama led by Pavish Narayan, has arrived on Prime Video after its theatrical run. The film follows a corporate employee whose relationship and mounting financial troubles collide, forcing a set of choices that carry the story from light romance into heavier emotional territory. It streams in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam.

Rao Bahadur — Netflix
Venkitesh Maha's psychological drama Rao Bahadur began streaming on Netflix on July 31 — and while it's a Telugu production, the Tamil audio track puts it squarely on this list. Produced by GMB Entertainment, A Plus S Movies and Sri Chakras Entertainments, it blends mystery and suspense and is available in five languages including Tamil and Hindi.
