Family movies are always considered a safe bet for filmmakers as they provide minimum entertainment to the audience. There was a time in Kollywood when family dramas used to be the highest grossers. With a compelling screenplay, impressive performances from actors and relatable emotions, the genre is still popular in Tamil cinema.

However, the genre ruled the roost until a few decades ago. The chemistry between actors and the right mix of commercial ingredients, including chartbuster songs and soulful background music, used to be the formula for successful family dramas. We bring you a few popular films belonging to the genre that could entertain you in the coming weekend and are now streaming on Raj Digital TV and OTTplay Premium.
