Thiruchitrambalam release date: When and where to watch Dhanush's super hit family drama online

Dhanush-starrer Thiruchitrambalam, which was released in theatres on August 18, turned out to be a super hit. Though the film hit the screens amid not great expectations, it went on to become one of the highest grossers in the actor's career.

The family drama is now set for a digital premiere. Sun Pictures, which bankrolled the project, took to their Twitter page to announce that the film will drop on Sun NXT on September 23. Despite a month of its theatrical release, the movie still attracts crowds on weekends.

The film brought together director Mithran R Jawahar and Dhanush for the fourth time after Yaaradi Nee Mohini, Kutty and Uthamaputhiran. Nithya Menen's performance is widely considered to be one of the highlights of Thiruchitrambalam, which also stars Prakash Raj and Bharathiraja in solid characters. 

Raashi Khanna and Priya Bhavani Shankar, too, are seen essaying notable roles in the movie which has music composed by Anirudh. His background score and a couple of songs complement the simple, yet effective storytelling which catered to all sections of film buffs. The film also celebrated the reunion of popular combo DnA (Dhanush and Anirudh) after a seven-year hiatus.

Thiruchitrambalam is Dhanush's theatrical release after four back-to-back OTT releases - Jagame Thandhiram, Atrangi Re, Maaran and The Gray Man. Karnan was his previous outing to have been released in theatres. With Tamil OTT releases Jagame Thandhiram and Maaran failing to meet expectations, his fans have been eagerly waiting for a hit film.

Thiruchitrambalam's huge success is the much-needed hit they were waiting for, and they are now looking forward to the star's Naane Varuvean which is likely to hit the screens on September 29. With Vaathi, too, hitting the screens in December, Dhanush will have four releases this year.
