Neelira is a Tamil war drama set in 1988 Northern Sri Lanka during the Eelam conflict. The story unfolds over a single intense night when a Tamil family preparing for a wedding finds their home unexpectedly taken over by Indian Peace Keeping Force soldiers, forcing both sides into a tense survival situation.
As war closes in outside, the film focuses on fear, humanity, and emotional survival inside the house, showing how ordinary civilians are caught between armed forces and political violence. Told in a realistic and grounded style, the movie highlights the emotional cost of the Sri Lankan civil war through personal and intimate storytelling.
After its theatrical release on April 3, 2026, Neelira received strong critical praise for its performances, direction, and authentic portrayal of conflict, and it is now streaming on OTT platforms.
