BAGHEERA OTT Release: A Milestone for Kannada Cinema

The Kannada-language superhero film Bagheera, starring Sriimurali, is set to make its digital debut after a successful theatrical run. The action-packed thriller, which was released during the Diwali festival, went on to become a box office hit, even amidst strong competition from Bollywood releases like Singham Returns and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.

Directed by Dr. Suri, the film, made on a budget of ₹40 crore, earned ₹17.13 crore net in India by Day 9 of its release. The star-studded cast includes Rukmini Vasanth, Prakash Raj, Sudha Rani, Ramachandra Raju, Achyuth Kumar, Rangayana Raghu, and, of course, Sriimurali.

Written by Prashanth Neel and produced by Vijay Kiragandur, Bagheera grossed ₹16.5 crore in its opening week, with ₹3 crore coming in during the first four days alone, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. The movie's success in cinemas, especially in its initial days, has generated high anticipation for its OTT debut.

When and Where to Watch Bagheera

The film will soon be available for streaming on Netflix, marking a milestone for Kannada cinema as this is the first Kannada film to be acquired by the platform. While Netflix has previously secured the rights to the Hindi versions of KGF and Kantara, this is the first time it is bringing a Kannada-language film to its platform.

Although the exact streaming date is yet to be confirmed, reports suggest Bagheera will likely be available on Netflix by the first week of December. Fans of the film and Kannada cinema can mark their calendars to catch this highly anticipated movie on the streaming giant soon.
