Where to stream Nawab Cafe on OTT?

However, we at OTTplay have learned that ETV Win has bagged the digital rights to the film and will begin streaming it from March 12, 2026. This means Nawab Cafe will arrive on OTT just three weeks after its theatrical release.

What is the storyline of Nawab Cafe?

The film features Shiva Kandukuri as the male lead, alongside Teja Ashwini as the female lead. Directed by Pramod Harsha, the story revolves around an ancient café located in the bylanes of Hyderabad. It explores how the proud owner refuses to let go of the café despite mounting challenges.

During a time of crisis, his son, played by Shiva Kandukuri, who has different ambitions in life, steps in to take responsibility for the hotel. His decisions, however, create complications in both the business and his love life. This forms the crux of the narrative.

Critics slammed the film for its outdated storytelling and predictable family drama elements. However, in recent times, several films like Sri Chidambaram Garu that underperformed in theatres have found appreciation on OTT platforms.

Shiva Kandukuri looking for a solid comeback

It remains to be seen whether Nawab Cafe will manage to strike a chord with digital audiences. Shiva Kandukuri has been striving to establish himself in Telugu cinema, but major commercial success has eluded him so far.

Though he delivered a sincere performance as an ambitious son, the film’s box-office failure was a setback. Now, all eyes are on its OTT release to see if it can redeem itself.
