If you are looking for a massive collection of free Indian movies to stream, well, you have come to the right place. Tamil Gun is easily one of the most reliable and regularly updated archives of free movies in India. Whether you are looking to stream free movies in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam or Telugu, Tamil Gun has you covered. This site, Tamil Gun, offers free streaming of high-quality movies in HD, free listening to Indian radio stations, and free streaming of hard-to-find overdubbed films. It might just be the site you've been looking for! Let's take a closer look at it.

Design

Although free movie streaming sites are not typically known for their sophisticated website design, I still expect a little more from websites like this. I am an optimist, or naïve, or whatever you will about the quality of a free movie streaming site being also be a high-quality movie streaming site. It is not as if this belief arose in a vacuum or anything either. The reason that I hold out hope for each free movie streaming site that I visit to be on par with, say, Netflix or Hulu design-wise is because, well, I have had the pleasure of using such sites in the past. I am not so foolish that I would hold every free movie streaming site that I come upon to the design standards of the biggest and most popular premium streaming services without having precedent to do so.

I have noticed that there are free movie streaming sites that offer a great user experience. I am thinking of sites like Sling, Viki, and a few others. So, when I see a site like Tamil Gun, it disappoints me because it presents itself so plainly. This is lazy because there are other free movie streaming sites that offer a better user experience.

Actually, the "plain" website is an understatement. Perhaps "unprofessional" would be a better description of this free movie streaming site. It is inconsistent and, in places, appears to even be unfinished. This site was clearly thrown together, seemingly at the last possible second by somebody who just barely knows how to code. The lack of attention to detail here is troubling. I mean, just look at the section labeled "HD Movies." Not only does the text and graphic look like bad clip art, but the design grid was left in the background; this couldn't have been an intentional aesthetic decision, right? No, this is just lazy design.

Lastly, below the navigation is a search bar, which can be used to find specific videos. There is little logical organization to this site. I will bring you through the home page alone. Below the site menu bar you will find a selection of 8 titles, the Latest Videos section. Below this is the aforementioned HD Videos category. Then, for reasons that are unknown to me, you have another segregated section dedicated to More HD Videos (there has to have been a more elegant way to streamline these into one larger category). Finally, below the navigation is a search bar, which can be used to find specific videos.

Scroll down to find a completely different format for Kids Movies, with a random smattering of TV channel icons separating those and what appear to be another random selection of movies. The site builder has completely given up by the time you get to the bottom of the page.

Scroll back up to the top of the page in order to find the site menu bar. This offers a little more help when it comes to navigating the site and finding the movie you want. The site menu bar is located on the left side of the screen, above the media player. There are several different areas that you can access from here, including Home, HD Movies, Kids Movies, Dubbed Movies, Big Boss Tamil 4 (which deserves its own section on the site menu bar for some reason?), a dropdown menu for TV Series with only one option to choose from: Tamil Web Series, TV Shows, and Hindi (which also has a dropdown menu; this time linking to 2 other languages), and a Contact page.

This site's design is amongst the most chaotic and free-wheeling that I have ever seen. From a design standpoint, it needs a complete overhaul (i.e. exploding this website and starting from scratch).

Content and Features

The content of Tamil Gun, however, offers a lot of free movies in several languages. This is a saving grace, as the site does not look good or be easy to navigate. However, users of Tamil Gun will find free Tamil movies (this is kind of a given, right?). Additionally, though, Tamil Gun has plenty of Hindi, Punjabi, Malayalam, and Telugu films. Plus, the site has over dubbed movies which makes it a great free movie streaming site for international releases. As is the case with many free movie streaming sites, though, Tamil Gun?s selection extends beyond merely free movies. You will also find a solid selection of free TV series here. Although the site frequently claims that its movies and TV shows are in high quality, unfortunately, this is not always the case. Sure, some titles are available to stream free in high quality, but many are not. In fact, there are several movies that I attempted to play that were of a very low quality, even when high quality HD had been selected.

One fun quirk about the Tamil Gun is its built-in radio station, Sooriyan FM. It's a really cool feature that creates an ambiance as you search for the free movie you wish to watch.

Once you have found the movie of your choice, another nice feature is the fact that there are often several embedded streams provided. This way, in the event that one host server is slow or not working for whatever reason, you have backup options. This is definitely a welcomed feature because it is endlessly frustrating when you are watching a free movie stream and suddenly there is a network error, and the movie won?t buffer or load back up. In this case, Tamil Gun has provided (when possible) some backup options.

Mobile and Desktop Experience

There is no mobile app for Tamil Gun. As those of you with experience with free movie streaming sites like this one probably know, it is extremely rare for a free movie streaming site to offer a mobile app. That being said, I am happy to report that Tamil Gun's mobile site is optimized for mobile devices. So, if you don't mind having to stream free movies from your phone or tablet's web browser, then Tamil Gun is actually one of the more mobile friendly free movie streaming sites out there.

One of the reasons Tamil Gun merits attention is its low number of ads. I haven't come across a free movie streaming site with no ads (you have to pay for the servers and web hosting somehow, right?), but there are definitely some that are much better than others. And when compared to some of the free movie streaming sites that I have seen that just bombard you with invasive ads, Tamil Gun is pretty ad light. With a decent ad blocker, you can stream free movies for hours without ever being interrupted by an ad on this site.

Suggestions that I have for Tamil Gun

I find the design of Tamil Gun to be very poor. I feel bad because this website has the potential to be one of the best free streaming sites in India (perhaps even the world) but there are some serious design problems that need to be fixed. I would like to see a cosmetic re-design, sure, but more importantly, I want the site to offer an easier way for users to browse. Some filters and a search engine might not hurt either.
