(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) After a two-week run at the box office, Sivakarthikeyan’s highly anticipated action thriller Madharaasi is preparing for its OTT release. Directed and penned by AR Murugadoss, the film has received mixed reviews and is experiencing a decline in box office performance.

According to OTT Play, the film is set to premiere on Prime Video. Madharaasi tells the gripping story of a man struggling with Fregoli delusion, a rare psychological disorder, who is recruited by the NIA for a high-stakes covert operation. The narrative unfolds against a backdrop of gun violence and its extensive repercussions.

Sivakarthikeyan stars in the lead role, supported by a talented cast including Rukmini Vasanth, Vidyut Jammwal, Shabeer Kallarakal, Biju Menon, and Vikranth. While the film has faced criticism for its storyline, Vidyut’s intense action sequences and Anirudh Ravichander’s dynamic score have garnered positive feedback from audiences.

The movie is expected to start streaming on October 3, 2025.

Box Office Performance and Our Verdict

As reported by Sacnilk, despite a strong opening of Rs 49 crore in its first week, Madharaasi saw a decline in collections during its second week, ultimately reaching a net total of Rs 60.28 crore in India. On September 18, the film recorded only 13.05% occupancy in Tamil Nadu, indicating a slowdown in its theatrical momentum.

In our official review at ETimes, we rated the film 3.1 stars out of 5. An excerpt from our review states, “The behind-the-scenes work is solid, though not striking. Editor Sreekar Prasad maintains a brisk pace; in some action scenes, he even speeds it up a bit too much. The stunt choreography by Kevin Kumar is impactful, but at times, it feels overly edited to enhance the kinetic feel. Even Anirudh, known for his energetic contributions, delivers a more functional score with less memorable songs.”
