'Idli Kadai' OTT release: When and where will Dhanush movie begin streaming?

Idli Kadai, starring Dhanush and Nithya Menen, will be available for streaming nearly a month after its theatrical release. The film, directed by Dhanush, will premiere on Netflix on October 29.

Co-starring Raj Kiran, Sathyaraj, Arun Vijay, R. Parthiban, and Shalini Pandey in key roles, the film marks a reunion of Dhanush and Nithya Menen after Thiruchithrambalam. A tale of a Tamil Nadu village native who finds success abroad and later returns home to carry forward the legacy of his father's legacy after a tragic event, Idli Kadai is Dhanush's directorial follow-up to Raayan.

In its review of Idli Kadai, THE WEEK wrote: "Dhanush resists turning his protagonist, played by himself, into a full-fledged ‘mass’ hero despite putting him through several action-template scenarios. Strangely enough, Dhanush manages to pull off a better tribute to the cinema of yore than some of his younger contemporaries who attempted the same recently and faltered badly. That isn’t to say he has managed a completely flawless enterprise either. When you’re trying to recreate that old-school charm, chances are you’re going to make certain storytelling compromises here and there. After all, can we confidently say that every movie we loved as a child – and continue to love through our adulthood – was faultless?

Produced by Wunderbar Films and Dawn Pictures, Idli Kadai has music by G.V. Prakash Kumar, cinematography by Kiran Koushik, and editing by Prasanna GK. It has a runtime of 147 minutes.
