Dhandoraa OTT release date

Dhandoraa is a new-age social drama that hit the screens on December 25, 2026. Ahead of its release, the film caught the attention of many for reasons beyond cinema, as the main lead, Sivaji, made objectionable comments about women’s dressing.

This controversy created widespread chaos and negatively impacted the film’s theatrical run, leading to protests in a few theatres. Due to the strong negative talk surrounding both the controversy and the film, Dhandoraa was pulled out of theatres within just a week of its release.

Dhandoraa OTT release date

We at OTTplay had earlier revealed that Amazon Prime Video bagged the digital rights to the film for a fancy price. The latest update is that Dhandoraa will begin streaming on January 14, 2026. OTTplay subscribers can watch the film through a special top-up option, making it easily accessible to a wider audience.

The film has been directed by Muralikanth Devasoth and features Navdeep, Shree Nandu, and Bindu Madhavi in key roles alongside Sivaji. Dhandoraa is based on the sensitive and hard-hitting issue of honour killings and carries an intense social message.

What is Dhandoraa's storyline?

The story revolves around a young couple belonging to different castes whose relationship is strongly opposed by the girl’s father, played by Sivaji. When the village elders brutally kill the boy, the incident sends shockwaves through the community.

Unable to cope with the trauma, the heroine takes her own life, which becomes a turning point in the narrative. Deeply affected by these events, the male lead undergoes a drastic transformation. The film then focuses on how he stands up against his own village and fights for justice, not just for himself but for others who have suffered similar fates.

Ravi Krishna steals the show in Dhandoraa?

Sivaji’s performance as a rigid and authoritarian father received appreciation, but it is Ravi Krishna who truly stands out with a powerful and emotionally charged performance. The film’s serious theme and realistic treatment make it more suitable for OTT audiences, and the makers are hopeful that Dhandoraa will find the appreciation it missed during its theatrical run.

Released alongside Shambhala and Champion, only Shambhala managed to succeed at the box office. Audiences who enjoy socially relevant dramas with strong messaging and intense emotions can now stream Dhandoraa on Amazon Prime Video.
