Aakash Baskaran’s romantic drama, Idhayam Murali, has arrived on Netflix on August 7, 2026, after a long run on the big screen. The movie traces one man’s quiet history with love across five different years. Atharvaa plays ‘Idhaya,’ a man who feels deeply but says little, as he moves from school crushes to adult relationships without ever fully opening up.
Director Aakash Baskaran keeps the tone light and nostalgic, leaning on bright visuals, friendship, and music over heavy drama. While the film charms with its style and cast, it struggles to give its romances real weight, making it a pleasant but surface-level tribute to unspoken feelings.
