Nithiin, the young and handsome actor in Tollywood, was on everyone’s minds with his latest outing Thammudu as it was highly anticipated as his comeback film since his latest outing did not get the desired results. The film was directed by Venu Sriram and also featured the comeback of veteran actress Laya on the big screen. The expectations were high for the film as everyone was counting on Thammudu to surely do something. However, the movie was disappointing for both the audience and critics alike.
While the theatrical release failed to yield the desired results for many, Thammudu is not done yet. The fans of Nithiin and the movie have a second chance coming their way, as Thammudu has now booked its OTT release. The film will be streaming on Netflix from August 1, 2025, offering a second chance for greater exposure and reach.
The movie will come out not only in Telugu, but also in Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam so it can reach more and more people all over South India. Because it was released in multiple languages to help spread the reach of the movie and give people a great opportunity to watch it from home.
Ajaneesh Loknath’s music is arguably one of the films brightest spots as it brings a modern feel to the film that is consistent with the youthful and bright mood of the movie. Varsha Bollamma and Sapthami Gowda are playing the female leads and added to the precocious charms of the film. Given that Thammudu was produced by veteran, Dil Raju, you would certainly expect that the film had all the elements, which is certainly strange about it, is that it has underperformed at the box office.
Although the response was mixed response at the time of its release, the forthcoming digital release on Netflix promises new avenues for Thammudu. Release on a platform as massive as Netflix ensures that the film will have a chance to reach out to a global audience, giving it a fresh lease of life. People can now watch it from the comfort of their homes, and it might even find favor with those who didn’t catch it on the big screen.
With its release on OTT, Thammudu gets to enjoy an encore opportunity, and who knows, it may just discover its audience in this new platform.
