Amaran OTT release date

Amaran, starring Sivakarthikeyan and Sai Pallavi in the lead roles, is a biopic on the late Major Mukund Varadarajan and based on the book titled India's Most Fearless: True Stories of Modern Military Heroes, penned by Shiv Aroor and Rahul Singh.

Now, after enjoying a successful theatrical run for a month, the film is all set to premiere on Netflix on December 5. Amaran is based on the life of Mukund, a commissioned officer in the Indian Army's Rajput Regiment. He was posthumously awarded the Ashok Chakra for his operation with the 44th Rashtriya Rifles battalion. The film delves into his ambition to join the Indian Army, and also focusses on the love story between him and his wife Indhu Rebecca Varghese, played by Sai Pallavi.

Sivakarthikeyan’s Amaran becomes blockbuster

While Tamil cinema had been seeing a dull year this time, Amaran was one of the few star films that received good response from audiences and critics. The film is directed by Rajkumar Periasamy and has music by GV Prakash Kumar. Kamal Haasan backed the film under his home banner Raaj Kamal Films International.

Amaran opened to positive reception upon its release, with critics praising Sivakarthikeyan’s transformation and Sai Pallavi’s performance. The OTTplay review of the film reads, “With Sivakarthikeyan and Sai Pallavi at the fore delivering powerful performances, the beauty of Amaran is that it never wishes to be a heavy viewing. It is a film that carries all core emotions.”
