Irumudi OTT Release Date: Ravi Teja's Hit Film Now Streaming on Netflix

Ravi Teja's Telugu drama Irumudi, directed by Shiva Nirvana, began streaming on Netflix from 18 September 2026 — roughly four weeks after its theatrical release on 21 August 2026. The OTT premiere triggered a sharp spike in India searches, with Google Trends recording around 20,000 searches for 'irumudi' in 24 hours and 400% growth, as fans looked up the Irumudi OTT release date and platform.

Irumudi OTT release date and languages

According to Eenadu, the film streams on Netflix in five languages: Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam. Chitrajyothy confirmed on 18 September 2026 that the film had gone live for digital streaming, noting it was still drawing housefull shows in theatres even a month after release — an unusual overlap of theatrical and OTT runs.

What the Irumudi movie is about

Irumudi is a departure from Ravi Teja's typical mass entertainers. He plays Trinatha Rao, an auto driver from Polluru village in Uttarandhra whose life revolves around his daughter Manemma (Baby Nakshatra), born after he took the Ayyappa Swamy mala. Priya Bhavani Shankar plays his wife Kaveri, with Sai Kumar in a key supporting role. The story turns when Manemma joins a government school in town and a series of student deaths there forces the father into a fight for truth. Eenadu describes the core as the emotional, spiritual journey of a father battling alcohol addiction.

Box office run: reported figures

Trade reports describe Irumudi as the biggest hit of Ravi Teja's career. Asianet News Telugu reported on 17 September 2026 that the film collected Rs 1.10 crore on its 27th day, taking its reported worldwide gross to Rs 237.55 crore, with a share of about Rs 120 crore against a reported budget of roughly Rs 40 crore. These figures come from a single trade source and are not independently verified, so treat them as estimates rather than confirmed numbers.

Why the search spike matters

The 400% growth in 'irumudi' searches, observed on 18 September 2026, coincides exactly with the Netflix premiere — a pattern typical of big theatrical hits moving to streaming, where viewers who missed the cinema run search for the OTT date. Google Trends data confirms search interest only; it does not verify box office claims or streaming performance.
