Reasons to stream Sri Chidambaran Garu on OTT

Unique Storyline

Sri Chidambaram Garu is a small-town village drama about a mason who has a squint eye. To hide this insecurity, Solomon always wears glasses. One day, he falls in love with a young woman but gets rejected. Due to a misunderstanding, Solomon believes that his love was rejected because of his appearance.

Hurt and disappointed, he takes a bold step to change his life. While such stories often have dark endings, this film is filled with interesting and realistic moments. If you enjoy rustic village dramas, this film is worth a watch.

Performances and Emotions

Vamsi Tummala and Sandhya Vasishta play the lead roles, and their chemistry is one of the film’s highlights. The scenes showcasing love, ego clashes, and heartbreak are handled well. Though it takes some time to get used to these new actors, they eventually grow on you. Sandhya’s portrayal of love and emotional depth stands out.

Message-Oriented Narrative

The film carries a subtle message for those who are physically challenged. It explores the idea that self-love is essential before expecting love from others. The director presents this theme in a heartfelt manner, making the film relatable.

The scenes in the first half, how a man with an inability falls for the heroine and how she reciprocates, all this is showcased in a very interesting manner by the director. The major twist about the misunderstanding between the lead pair is one of the major highlights of the film.

Though the film is slow-paced and the second half lacks depth, it can be a decent watch if you enjoy simple, realistic village dramas. The runtime is crisp, and the simple conflict is interesting. You can stream Sri Chidambaram Garu on OTTplay from February 19, 2026.
