Gargi release date: When and where to watch the hard-hitting family drama starring Sai Pallavi online

Gargi, which was released a couple of weeks ago, marked Sai Pallavi's return to Tamil cinema after a three-year hiatus. The film directed by Gautham Ramachandran garnered the attention of movie buffs ever since its first look poster was released.

A BTS video which the makers released later featuring Pallavi seen dubbing for the movie in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada impressed film lovers. After a few weeks, Suriya's production house 2D Entertainment acquired its theatrical release. Its gripping trailer and actor-politician Udhayanidhi Stalin's word of praise for the movie before its theatrical release escalated the hype surrounding it further.
