Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi’s latest film Thandel, directed by Chandoo Mondeti has finally hit the big screen today.

As fans rush to cinemas, many are also curious about Thandel on OTT release details. Here’s everything you need to know about where and when to watch the film online.
Thandel ’s OTT Rights & Expected Release Window
Made on a budget of approximately ₹75 crores, Thandel has already secured ₹40-60 crores from digital rights. Reports suggest that Netflix has acquired the film’s streaming rights. While an official streaming date has not been confirmed, industry sources indicate that Thandel will likely premiere on Netflix after completing 50 days in theaters. This puts the expected OTT release sometime in late March 2025.
Netflix has already made an announcement about streaming the film, stating, “When fate drags them across borders, only courage can bring them home. Thandel, coming to Netflix in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada & Hindi after its theatrical release!”
Will There Be an Early OTT Release?
There is speculation that if Thandel underperforms at the box office, its digital premiere might be moved up.
