ZEE5’s Tamil courtroom drama Sattamum Neethiyum smashes records with 51 Million streams in just 72 hours!
ZEE5’s latest Tamil original Sattamum Neethiyum is making headlines for all the right reasons. Released over the weekend, the gripping legal drama has already crossed a whopping 51 million streams in just 72 hours, drawing widespread praise from both audiences and critics. Viewers are loving its grounded storytelling, layered emotions, and standout performances—especially Saravanan’s restrained comeback and Namritha MV’s impressive turn as a firebrand young lawyer. With social media buzzing and reviews calling it one of the most compelling Tamil series of the year, Sattamum Neethiyum first episode is free to watch on ZEE5 and the drama kicks off right from the very first scene.
The story follows Sundaramoorthy (Saravanan), a quiet, often-ridiculed notary who has long stepped away from real legal battles. But when a man sets himself ablaze at the court and Sundaramoorthy’s own son loses faith in the profession, he’s forced to take a hard look at himself. Partnering with the bold and idealistic Aruna (Namritha MV), he takes on a case no one else dares to touch. What begins as a deeply personal fight for dignity soon unravels into a powerful legal battle that questions the very meaning of justice, truth, and legacy.
Actor Saravanan said, “Coming back to acting after so many years felt like a leap of faith. I didn’t expect Sattamum Neethiyum to touch people the way it has. Playing Sundaramoorthy—this quiet, humble man who finds the courage to stand up again was a deeply personal journey for me. The messages I’ve been receiving, the love from people across cities and towns, it’s all been so overwhelming. It reminds me that no matter how simple the character or story, if it’s honest, it connects. I’m just grateful that the audience saw him the way I did.”
Namritha MV mentioned, “Aruna is probably the bravest character I’ve ever played. She’s fiery, driven, and completely unafraid to speak up, even when no one’s listening. I was nervous when the series was released, but the way people have embraced her has truly moved me. Women writing to say they see themselves in her, youngsters telling me she gave them hope—it’s the kind of response every actor dreams of. It feels like we didn’t just tell a story, we started a conversation. And that’s incredibly special.” If you haven't watched the series yet, stream the Tamil original series, ‘Sattamum Neethiyum’ on ZEE5 now!
