Idli
Kadai:
Where
Will
It
Stream
After
Theatrical
Run?

At
present,
the
film
is
available
exclusively
in
theaters
across
India
and
select
international
locations.
Audiences
hoping
to
watch
Idli
Kadai
from
home
will
need
to
wait
for
its
digital
release.
Industry
sources
indicate
that
Netflix
has
acquired
the
post-theatrical
streaming
rights,
but
the
official
release
date
for
the
OTT
platform
has
not
been
confirmed.
Generally,
Tamil
films
transition
to
streaming
services
about
four
to
eight
weeks
after
their
theatrical
launch,
depending
on
box
office
performance
and
distribution
arrangements.

With
the
film
still
in
its
initial
days
of
screening,
the
focus
remains
on
its
box
office
performance,
which
will
likely
influence
the
timeline
for
its
OTT
premiere.
For
now,
viewers
are
advised
to
catch
the
film
in
cinemas
while
it
continues
its
theatrical
run.

Idli
Kadai
is
produced
by

Baskaran
and

under
the

digital
partner.
Audiences
can
expect
further
announcements
regarding
the
film’s
digital
streaming
schedule
once
the
theatrical
engagement
concludes.
