The Verdict, which starred Sruthi Hariharan, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Suhasini Maniratnam, Prakash Mohandas, and Vidyullekha Raman, among others, was directed by newcomer Krishna Shankar and premiered in theaters on May 30, 2025. Sruthi's first Tamil film in eight years was a story centered on her character, and it was filmed entirely in the United States. It is now going to OTT.

The Verdict will make its way to OTT less than a month after its theatrical outing. The film has been picked up by Sun Network, which will make it available to stream from June 26, 2025 onward. It joins a list of recent releases that include the likes of Lal Salaam, Sumo, Nesippaya, Ten Hours, Blue Star, Paraman and more.

Although the movie was initially promoted as a courtroom drama, Sruthi clarified that the legal aspect is just one portion of the story. "Prior to the release, she told OTTplay, 'The courtroom angle is only one aspect of the film; there's also a love story revenge, vengeance and a thriller element, making it a sensible potboiler.'"

In fact, the first half of the movie tackles this by beginning with Namrutha, the protagonist, being accused of and on trial for killing her friend Eliza (Suhasini). Namrutha was the main suspect because she had been named a significant recipient of Eliza's will. But did she actually murder her buddy?

Well, that is advocate Maya (Varalaxmi), Namrutha’s lawyer job to convince the jury and the judge, which she does. Acquitted of all charges, Namrutha then proceeds to figure out what actually happened and bring the real killer to justice. The film had received mixed reviews during its theatrical reviews, with director Krishna blamed for squandering a great opportunity with shoddy making. The cast, however, was praised for trying to do their best with what was on offer.
