Daayra Set to Stream on Netflix on Nov. 13

The Meghna Gulzar crime drama's digital premiere will widen its audience while raising questions about language availability and the film's focus on police accountability.

Overview

  • Netflix India confirmed in a social post that Daayra will begin streaming on Friday, Nov. 13.
  • Major outlets report the film will be available in both Hindi and Malayalam, but Netflix's public listing currently categorises Daayra only as a Hindi title, creating a discrepancy over language availability.
  • Daayra is directed and co-written by Meghna Gulzar and stars Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran; it was released in theatres on September 18, 2026.
  • Critics gave the film mixed-to-positive reviews for its measured, institution-focused storytelling while reviewers noted pacing issues, and box-office data reported an opening near Rs 1 crore with reported India net collections of about Rs 7.14 crore and a worldwide gross near Rs 10.67 crore.
  • The Netflix premiere could broaden viewership for a film that examines a contested police encounter and legal accountability, and the language-listing discrepancy may affect regional access or reflect staggered platform metadata and rollout choices.
