Dil Raju-Nithiin’s Thammudu OTT release date locked. When and where to watch the Telugu drama

After a disappointing run at the box office, Thammudu is gearing up for a digital comeback—and this time, it’s going big. The emotional sibling drama, which failed to make a splash in theatres, is now set to premiere on OTT in a pan-South release across Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. The makers are betting on the film finding its footing with a wider and more diverse streaming audience.

Produced by ace filmmaker Dil Raju and headlined by Nithiin, Thammudu had all the right ingredients on paper: a strong cast, a seasoned director in Venu Sriram, and music by B. Ajaneesh Loknath. But despite the star power and an emotional core, it didn’t quite resonate with cinema-goers. Now, with its OTT debut, there’s fresh hope that it might strike a chord where it previously missed.

Plot and cast of Thammudu

The story revolves around a brother who’ll go to any lengths to protect his sister as she faces life’s toughest challenges. At its heart, it’s a tale about the bond between siblings—misunderstandings, heartbreak, and reconciliation included. The ensemble cast features Sapthami Gowda, Laya, Varsha Bollamma, Saurabh Sachdeva, Swasika, Hari Teja, Srikanth Iyyengar, Temper Vamshi, and Chammak Chandra, each bringing depth to the emotional landscape of the film.

With the OTT release just around the corner, Thammudu is getting a rare second shot—this time in the comfort of living rooms, where slower-paced, heartfelt narratives often find a more patient and appreciative audience.

When and where to watch Thammudu?

Thammudu is set to grace the streaming OTT giant, Netflix, on August 1, 2025.
