Here’s when and where you can watch Sivakarthikeyan, Vidyut Jamwal’s action thriller Madharaasi on OTT

Sivakarthikeyan's most awaited film Madharaasi is all set for its grand debut on the popular OTT platform after having a modest run on box office.

Madharaasi, the much‑talked‑about psychological action thriller by A.R. Murugadoss starring Sivakarthikeyan, grabbed attention the moment it hit theatres. Audience reaction has been strong for its gripping story, performances, action scenes, and the way it mixes psychology with crime thriller tropes. The trailer built high expectations, and the film, released on September 5, 2025, has already crossed Rs 100 crore at the box office, making it a commercial success.

When and where to stream?

Now, fans who missed it in cinemas or want to watch it from home will be pleased as Madharaasi is set to stream on Prime Video starting October 1, 2025. This digital release comes just under a month after its theatrical launch, which is fast by recent standards. The film’s lead, Sivakarthikeyan, plays Raghu, a man afflicted by Fregoli delusion (a rare psychological condition), who gets pulled into a high‑stakes mission involving an arms syndicate. The cast includes Rukmini Vasanth, Vidyut Jammwal, Biju Menon, Vikranth, and Shabeer Kallarakkal.

Music by Anirudh Ravichander, strong visuals, and some tight action sequences all contribute to its appeal. Critics have praised the performances, especially Sivakarthikeyan’s, though some have pointed out narrative inconsistencies that could have been tighter. Financially, the film has already done well, crossing Rs 100 crore is a big milestone. Though the budget is reportedly high, strong box office numbers plus upcoming OTT & satellite rights will help recover and likely push it into profit territory.

More about Madharaasi

While the movie has action and suspense, it also explores mental health in a way that Tamil mainstream cinema rarely does. Madharaasi attempts to walk the fine line between mass appeal and a psychological narrative,  and it mostly succeeds. For those who love action thrillers with a cerebral twist, Madharaasi offers a fresh and gritty experience.
