After a prolonged wait, Tovino Thomas’ comedy-drama Nadikar is finally making its digital debut on Saina Play. The film, which released in theaters on May 3, 2024, had been awaiting an OTT announcement for months. The streaming platform recently confirmed the news on social media, teasing fans with a post that read, “THE WAIT IS ALMOST OVERRRRR….!!!!! Nadikar is all set to make its OTT debut.” While an exact release date remains under wraps, the announcement has sparked excitement among fans eager to watch or revisit the film.
Nadikar follows the story of David Padikkal, a self-absorbed superstar in Malayalam cinema whose reckless lifestyle leads to a career crisis. After a disastrous on-set incident where he injures a crew member, David flees to Dubai, only to confront his fading stardom. Forced to take acting lessons, he begins a journey of self-reflection, questioning whether he can redeem himself both professionally and personally. The film blends humor and drama, offering a satirical take on fame and ego.
The movie features Tovino Thomas in the lead, supported by a stellar cast including Bhavana, Soubin Shahir, Balu Varghese, and Anoop Menon, with special appearances by Shine Tom Chacko and Dhyan Sreenivasan. Directed by Lal Jr. and written by Suvin Somasekharan, Nadikar received mixed reviews upon its theatrical release and underperformed at the box office. However, its OTT premiere presents an opportunity for the film to find a wider audience and a second chance at success.
With its digital release imminent, Nadikar joins the growing list of Malayalam films transitioning from theaters to streaming platforms. Fans of Tovino Thomas and Malayalam cinema can now look forward to catching the film soon on Saina Play, as the countdown to its OTT debut begins. Stay tuned for the official streaming date!
