Now, Vidaamuyarchi is streaming on Netflix in five languages: Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi.

It stands as Ajith Kumar’s lowest-grossing theatrical release in the last 10 years. In recent times, films that failed in theatres have also struggled on OTT platforms. Given the negative theatrical reception, industry experts predict that Vidaamuyarchi may face a similar fate on Netflix.
A similar situation occurred when Indian 2 ended its theatrical run as a colossal disaster and later became a troll fest among Kollywood audiences after its OTT release.
