Saripodhaa Sanivaaram on OTT: Where to stream Nani's action drama post theatrical run

Netflix has officially secured the streaming rights for Saripodhaa Sanivaaram, the latest Telugu film starring Nani, SJ Suryah, and Priyanka Mohan. The announcement of Netflix as the film’s streaming partner came on Thursday, after the movie's theatrical release.

In line with the prevailing trend in the Telugu film industry, it is expected that Saripodhaa Sanivaaram will be available for streaming within four weeks of its release. 

In recent history, all South Indian movies on Netflix have made their digital debuts within five weeks of their initial theatrical release, regardless of their box office performance.

The film, directed by Vivek Athreya, tells the story of Surya (Nani), a man struggling with a notorious temper. His mother allows him to vent his anger on Saturdays, leading him to settle scores with those who have wronged him. Parallelly, SJ Suryah portrays Daya, a corrupt and violent cop, who unleashes his frustrations on innocent people.

This marks the second collaboration between Nani and Vivek Athreya, following their 2022 romantic comedy Ante Sundaraniki. Despite positive reviews, their previous film underperformed at the box office. With Saripodhaa Sanivaaram, the duo appears to have aimed for a mass appeal, although the film has received mixed reviews, with some critics noting its dependence on familiar tropes and cliches.

"The film does have its moments. The chemistry between Nani and Priyanka Mohan (who plays Charulatha) brings some light-hearted relief to the otherwise monotonous storyline. SJ Suryah’s performance is another highlight; his over-the-top portrayal of a deranged cop adds a layer of unpredictability and intensity to the film. However, these moments are few and far between, and they are not enough to sustain the audience’s interest for nearly three hours," read Desimartini's 3-star rating.
