Overview
- Netflix released Baththa to stream Thursday, making the Vijay Sethupathi‑led Tamil action‑comedy available worldwide on its Southverse curation.
- The film follows a feared 1986 Madras gangster who becomes humanised after being trapped in a school bathroom, a premise critics call a fresh, heart‑driven take on the genre.
- Baththa opened in theatres on October 1, 2026 before moving to digital on October 29, 2026 so viewers who missed the theatrical run can now watch at home.
- The film stars Vijay Sethupathi with Lijomol Jose and Sai Prithviraj Raj in key roles and is directed by Balaji Tharaneetharan, who previously worked with Sethupathi on high‑profile projects.
- Netflix is streaming the original Tamil track plus dubbed audio in Hindi, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam with English subtitles, a move aimed at expanding the film’s regional and international audience.
