Fans of the film can expect its OTT release starting on September 27. While the official streaming platform has not been confirmed, there is speculation that Netflix might secure the rights. However, there are also rumors that Amazon Prime Video is in the race to acquire the film, creating anticipation for the official announcement.

It’s a must-watch for fans of the genre and those looking for a refreshing cinematic experience. As the film nears its digital release, it is set to attract even more viewers, further solidifying its success as a modern classic in Indian cinema.
