Bigil

Bigil (2019), directed by Atlee, is a Tamil sports action film you can watch online on iFILM. Michael is a gang leader and former football star who ends up coaching a women's national team — a gig the players are in no hurry to welcome, given his well-known criminal record.

Vijay, one of Tamil cinema's biggest stars, pulls double duty as both Michael and his idealistic father. Nayanthara heads the squad, and Jackie Shroff plays the rival waiting to settle old scores, on and off the pitch. At nearly three hours, the film earns most of its runtime through big set-piece matches and a genuine push for the women's team to be taken seriously.
