Taking to its X timeline, Dream Warrior Pictures, the production house presenting the film, wrote, "Middle-class LIFE presented in a zany-heartrending manner. "Madras Matinee" in theatres from JUNE 6th."

It may be recalled that the makers had released the first look poster a few days ago. However, then, they had only mentioned release in June without mentioning the date.

The film caught the attention of film buffs when its makers released a video clip titled Madras Matinee Title Story earlier this year.

The YouTube video clip opened with actor Sathyaraj saying one could even write about science fiction but not about the middle class. Trying to put across the point that middle class family life was boring, he ends his speech asking a question, "Where is the joy and adventure in a middle-class family's life?"

However, you get the impression that the film will be an answer to this question posed by Sathyaraj.

The video clip also gave away the names of the characters in the film. While Sathyaraj plays a sci-fi writer called Jyoti Ramaya, Kaali Venkat plays a character called Kannan and Roshini plays a character called Deepika. While Viswa plays a character called Dinesh, the dog Bigil plays a character called Brownie.

The film, which has been produced by Madras Motion Pictures, will apart from Kaali Venkat and Roshni Haripriyan, feature a big list of actors including Sathyaraj, Shelly, Vishva, George Maryan, Archana Chandhoke, Sunil Sukhada, Madhumitha, Chaams, Geetha Kailasam, and Bhanupriya among others.

Cinematography for the film is by Anand G K and its music has been composed by K C Balasarangan. Satheesh Kumar Samuski is handling the editing work of the film which has art direction by Jacki.

Finally a movie about middle-class life! So tired of rich people stories in cinema. Kaali Venkat always brings authenticity to his roles. June 6 can't come soon enough! 😊

The title story video with Sathyaraj was brilliant! But I hope the film doesn't just glorify struggles - middle class life has its own unique happiness too. Fingers crossed!

As someone from Chennai, I'm excited to see how they portray Madras middle-class culture. Hope they get the local flavor right - the tea kadai scenes, bus stand moments etc.

The cast looks amazing but I'm skeptical about the "zany-heartrending" promise. Recent Tamil films trying to be quirky often end up being confusing. Hope this breaks the trend.

Bigil the dog as Brownie is the real hero we didn't know we needed! 🐶 On a serious note, KC Balasarangan's music should elevate this film - his previous works were brilliant.

The concept sounds fresh but execution is everything. Middle-class stories can either be relatable masterpieces or boring documentaries. Hope Karthikeyan Mani delivers the former!
