Tovino Thomas starrer Nadikar OTT release DELAYED despite its theatrical release in May 2024; Here’s why

As a die-hard fan of Tovino Thomas, I must say that his journey in the Malayalam film industry is nothing short of extraordinary. From watching him struggle in small roles to seeing him grace the silver screen as a leading actor, it’s been an incredible ride.


As a connoisseur of all things cinema, I must say that the Tovino Thomas-starrer “Nadikar” has been gracing our screens as a delightful Malayalam comedy-drama since May 3, 2024. Yet, despite the months that have passed since its initial release, it’s still yet to make its grand entrance into the world of streaming platforms – a tantalizing tease for those of us eagerly awaiting our chance to catch this gem from the comfort of our homes.

According to OTTplay’s report, the Netflix streaming service has temporarily postponed the release of the Tovino Thomas film due to disputes with its creators over pricing. The film’s disappointing box office earnings and unfavorable reviews have prompted Netflix to reevaluate and potentially lower their initial deal. The movie will become available for streaming once negotiations are finalized with a satisfactory resolution.

The film “Nadikar,” featuring Tovino Thomas, narrates the tale of David Padikkal, a former Malayalam superstar known for his acting skills, who now embraces the extravagance of stardom. Overwhelmed by his own importance, he allows his ego to take control, behaving impolitely and at times even walking off movie sets.

In a turn of events that drastically altered my world, an unfortunate accident involving a crew member during the filming of one of my movies led to its halt. This incident sent ripples through my life, causing it to spin in unexpected directions. Amidst the chaos, I found myself introspecting deeply, peeling back layers to rediscover the essence of who I am beyond the glamour and stardom that had come to define me.

In this film, directed by Lal Jr, we find actors such as Divya Pillai, Soubin Shahir, Balu Varghese, Suresh Krishna, Bhavana, Anoop Menon, and others in significant parts. Unfortunately, this production received generally unfavorable reviews from critics and ended up being a financial disappointment at the box office.

Following on, Tovino Thomas recently starred in the hit movie Ajayante Randam Moshanam (ARM) for 2024. This film, directed by Jithin Laal, is one of the top grossers in Malayalam and immerses us into the action-adventure world based on Chyothikaavu myths and their venerated lamp, the Chyothivilaku.

The movie spans across three distinct time periods, focusing on the lives of three men from the same ancestry who are all connected through a sacred lamp. Tovino plays multiple characters in this film, along with notable actors such as Krithi Shetty, Aishwarya Rajesh, Surabhi Lakshmi, Basil Joseph, Shivajith, and others in significant roles.
