Doctor release date: When and where to watch this super hit film starring Sivakarthikeyan in the lead

Nelson Dilipkumar's Doctor, which had hit the screens amid huge expectations on October 9, is all set for an OTT release and a television premiere. The film, which is considered to be the first super hit in Tamil post the second wave, has Sivakarthikeyan in the lead. The movie was released in Telugu, too, with the title Varun Doctor. 

Anirudh's music is one of the major highlights of this action-comedy which has Priyanka Mohan essaying the female lead. Doctor was initially supposed to have a theatrical release on March 26 this year, but the makers postponed it owing to the Assembly Elections in Tamil Nadu which was slated to happen on April 6.  

Post the unanticipated second wave, there were widespread rumours about the movie having a premiere on Disney+ Hotstar though the makers were tight-lipped about it. After months of speculation on social media, the team made an official announcement on September that the film will hit the screens on October 9, leaving fans of Sivakarthikeyan and other movie buffs excited. 

As expected, Doctor opened to good numbers on first day across Tamil Nadu, and went on to receive positive response from critics and audience alike. The Tamil films which released in theatres in the subsequent weeks could not gather positive reviews which also helped Doctor rake in good profits.   

According to a source, the film is now all set to have an OTT release on Sun NXT on November 5. It is also said that the movie will have a television premiere on Sun TV, on November 4, on the occasion of Deepavali. The makers have released the videos of Tamil and Telugu versions of the popular song Chellamma from the movie which features Sivakarthikeyan and Priyanka shaking a leg. Doctor, which is said to be Siva's highest grossing film till date, is releasing in Kerala on October 28.
