Madharaasi OTT Release Date and Platform
Madharaasi is set to premiere on Prime Video on October 1, 2025. The streaming giant officially confirmed the news with an announcement video featuring Sivakarthikeyan, calling it a “mad ride” that viewers across the globe shouldn’t miss. Audiences in India and more than 200 countries will be able to stream the film in Tamil as well as in dubbed versions of Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.
The wide release strategy emphasises the film’s pan-Indian appeal and ensures that a global audience can access the high-octane thriller. This move also highlights how Tamil cinema continues to grow its space on international streaming platforms.
Box Office Success Before OTT Release
The film, which hit theatres on September 5, 2025, opened to strong footfalls and positive audience response. Despite facing comparisons with heightened expectations, Madharaasi managed to hold its ground and impress both fans and critics. According to box office reports, the film grossed ₹61.86 crore nett in India and around ₹97.69 crore worldwide, with some trade trackers claiming the numbers crossed ₹100 crore overall.
The theatrical success set the stage for its OTT arrival, fueling anticipation among those who missed the big-screen experience as well as those eager for a rewatch.
Plotline: A Psychological Thrill Ride
The story revolves around Raghu (played by Sivakarthikeyan), a car showroom employee battling a rare psychological condition that causes him to mistake strangers for his long-lost relatives. His unusual disorder soon draws the attention of NIA officer Premnath (Biju Menon), who recruits him for a secret mission.
Raghu’s mission leads him into dangerous territory as he infiltrates a gas cylinder factory, which, beneath its façade, operates as a large-scale weapons warehouse for an arms syndicate. What follows is a cat-and-mouse game against the ruthless leaders Virat (Vidyut Jammwal) and Chirag (Vikranth).
Amidst his fragile mental health and haunting past, Raghu finds an emotional anchor in Malathi (Rukmini Vasanth), a dental student who walks into his chaotic life. The blend of action, suspense, and human vulnerability gives Madharaasi its unique edge.
Stellar Cast and Technical Brilliance
Alongside Sivakarthikeyan’s compelling performance, the film features strong contributions from Rukmini Vasanth, Vidyut Jammwal, Biju Menon, Vikranth, and Shabeer Kallarakkal. What elevates the film further is the work of its technical crew. Cinematographer Sudeep Elamon captures the gritty yet stylish mood of the thriller, while music director Anirudh Ravichander delivers a pulsating score that enhances the film’s tension. The soundtrack, including the widely loved “Salambala,” has already become a fan favourite.
With its OTT release around the corner, Madharaasi is all set to entertain a much larger audience worldwide. For those who experienced it in theatres, this marks a chance to revisit the thriller, and for new viewers, it promises an adrenaline-fueled journey packed with drama, suspense, and powerful performances. From October 1, fans can buckle up for AR Murugadoss’s compelling storytelling and Sivakarthikeyan’s intense screen presence on Prime Video.
