Where to stream Sri Chidambaram Garu on OTT?
| Title | OTT platform | OTT release date |
| Sri Chidambaram Garu | ETV Win, OTTplay Premium | February 19, 2026 |
We at OTTplay have learned that ETV Win has acquired the digital rights to the film for a nominal price and will stream it from February 19, 2026. Once it premieres on OTT, the film will also be available on OTTplay Premium.
Noted filmmaker Vamsi Nandipati of Baby fame backed the film during its theatrical release and promoted it extensively. Sri Chidambaram Garu hit theatres on February 6, 2026, and is set to arrive on OTT just two weeks later.
The makers believe the film has strong content that went unnoticed in theatres but could find better appreciation on OTT. This trend has been seen with several recent releases. Films like Mowgli, Psych Siddharth, and The Raja Saab underperformed in theatres but later gained solid viewership on OTT platforms. A similar response is expected for Sri Chidambaram Garu.
The music for the film was composed by Chandu Ravi, who brought in Oscar-winning composer MM Keeravani to render a soulful number that won the hearts of many listeners.
The film was directed by debutant Vinay Ratnam, who spoke in interviews about the challenges he faced in making the movie with new actors and convincing distributors to release it in theatres. He is now hopeful and excited about its OTT release.
What is the story of Sri Chidambaram Garu?
The story revolves around a young man with crossed eyes who considers his condition a major flaw. What appears to be a limitation becomes the emotional core of the narrative, showing that physical differences do not define a person’s worth.
