Theertharoopa Thandeyavarige on OTT: Hondisi Bareyiri maker Ramenahalli Jagannatha’s sophomore film, a relationship drama following a travel vlogger and his ‘missing’ dad is now available to stream

Theertharoopa Thandeyavarige, the first Kannada film to release in theatres in 2026, has now made its way to OTT. The film, directed by Ramenahalli Jagannatha, best known for the coming-of-age drama Hondisi Bareyiri, had been picked up by Amazon Prime Video for its streaming rights and was expected a week ago, but dropped on the platform only on February 27, 2026. The film can be accessed via OTTplay Premium too with a top-up subscription.
From the latest Kannada series Raakshasa to films like Kshetrapati, Neeli Hakki, Mark, 45, Su From So, Elumale and more; watch them all with OTTplay Premium.
Theertharoopa Thandeyavarige had opened to fairly positive reviews during its theatrical release, and yet the team had its fair share of struggle in retaining screens initially, following which it briefly picked up momentum at the box office. This was enough to guarantee the film a streaming deal, a tad earlier than what the filmmaker was able to get for Hondisi Bareyiri. In fact, Hondisi Bareyiri had a far better reception when it came on OTT than during its theatrical run, which is likely going to repeat for Theertharoopa Thandeyavarige.
The film, meanwhile, follows a travel vlogger Prithvi Sanchari (newcomer Nihar Mukesh), who has a tumultuous relationship with his mother Janaki (Sithara), as he is convinced that she is to blame for his father walking out on them years ago. When he eventually figures out the circumstance behind his father’s disappearance and how Janaki had only been shielding him from it for his own benefit, Prithvi not only begins to mend his relationship with his mother, but also goes in search of the man who left them behind. What Janaki and Prithvi find out in this journey is what Theertharoopa Thandeyavarige is all about.
The film also stars Ravindra Vijay, Rajesh Nataranga, Rachana Inder, Ajit Hande, Giri Shivanna, Ashwitha R Hegde, Gopan Mangath, among others. Running at just under 2 and a half hours, Theertharoopa Thandeyavarige is streaming with Kannada audio only and English subtitles.
