Shankar’s sequel to his 1996 hit film Indian, Indian 2, was released in theatres last month to a lukewarm response. The film’s OTT release date on Netflix has now been announced and it will stream on the platform in multiple languages from August 9.

Indian 2 OTT release

Making the announcement that Indian 2 will stream on Netflix in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam from August 9, the official X (formerly Twitter) page of the platform wrote, “Thatha varaaru, kadhara vida poraaru. (Buckle up. Indian Thatha is back to take on the system again) #Indian2 is coming to Netflix on 9 August in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada! #Indian2OnNetflix.”

The film is being released on the platform less than a month after its theatrical release on July 12. The sequel to the hit film received a lukewarm response from the audience and critics when it was released, leading to the makers trimming 20 minutes. The edited version then clocked at 2 hours and 40 minutes.
