The Malayalam campus entertainer ‘Athiradi’ is heading to OTT. According to Filmibeat, SonyLIV has acquired the digital streaming rights of ‘Athiradi’. The film starring Tovino Thomas, Basil Joseph, and Vineeth Sreenivasan is expected to premiere on the platform after its theatrical run. The makers have not officially confirmed the OTT release date yet.
The film is doing a good box office run. It posted a strong opening and continued its theatrical run. According to Sacnilk, ‘Athiradi’ earned Rs 4.25 crore net in India on Day 2 across 1,776 shows. This represents a 23.4 percent decline from its Day 1 collection of Rs 5.55 crore net. Despite the drop, the film has maintained solid momentum.
‘Athiradi’ is a lively campus entertainer. It revolves around friendship, rivalry, and youthful energy. The film brings together comedy, emotion, and action within a college setting. The casting includes Basil Joseph, Tovino Thomas, and Vineeth Sreenivasan.
ETimes awarded ‘Athiradi’ 4 out of 5 stars. The review states, “Athiradi heavily revolves around male friendships and male emotions, leaving actresses like Zarin Shihab and Riya Shibu with very little to do beyond supporting the heroes. Stronger female characters and more emotional layering could have elevated the film further.”
Basil Joseph was last seen in ‘Parasakthi’ which received mixed reviews. Tovino Thomas was recently seen in ‘Pallichattambi’ which also received mixed reviews. Vineeth Sreenivasan’s previous outing was ‘Bha.Bha.Ba.’ and his previous directorial was ‘Karam’.
