Keerthy Suresh Acclaimed Film Dorothy Winning Praises In OTT Too

Dorothy, starring Keerthy Suresh, is now streaming on Netflix from October 23, 2026. Directed by Karthik Subbaraj, the Tamil crime drama is available in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada and Malayalam. The film first arrived in theatres on September 25 and received positive reviews for its raw story and performances.

Set in rural Madurai during the early 1990s, Dorothy follows two childhood friends whose lives are shaped by caste divisions, violence and social pressure. Their friendship takes a new turn after Dorothy, a woman who challenges old beliefs, enters their world. Years later, their bond faces a difficult test involving love, guilt and human dignity.

The budget of the film is around ₹7 crore. The film grossed ₹18 crore in worldwide gross collections. The film’s theatrical run brought mixed box office reports despite its positive critical response. Based on the estimated ₹7 crore budget, it earned more than twice that amount.

But, the actual break even point depends on distribution costs and other deals. With Netflix now streaming the film in five languages, Dorothy can reach a wider audience.
