Sivakarthikeyan-starrer Amaran is experiencing a phenomenal run at the box office, with ticket sales skyrocketing since its Diwali release on October 31. The film, directed by Rajkumar Periasamy and produced by Kamal Haasan, tells the story of late Major Mukund Varadarajan and his love story with Indhu Rebecca Varghese. Alongside Sivakarthikeyan, Sai Pallavi delivers a captivating performance as the female lead.
Amaran's theatrical success has prompted Netflix to delay its OTT release, initially scheduled for 28 days after its theatrical debut. Reports suggest the streaming giant may release the film on December 11, although an official announcement is pending. This development marks a rare occurrence for a Tamil film, with the movie's financial success and extended theatrical run contributing to the delayed OTT release.
The film has garnered exceptional reviews from critics, with OTTplay praising its powerful performances and clean screenplay. Amaran collected Rs 200 crores gross within ten days, cementing its position as a major success for its producers. Theatre owners are now opting to run the film for a longer period, further delaying its OTT release.
As Amaran continues to captivate audiences, its delayed OTT release has generated significant interest. Fans eager to watch the film on Netflix will have to wait a little longer. With its impressive box office performance and critical acclaim, Amaran solidifies Sivakarthikeyan's stature as a leading actor in Tamil cinema.
