Overview
- Netflix has officially listed Meghna Gulzar’s crime drama Daayra and Netflix India South posted that the film will begin streaming on Friday, November 13.
- News outlets agree on the November 13 OTT date but disagree on language options, with Hindustan Times and News18 reporting Hindi and Malayalam streams while Netflix’s listing currently labels the title a Hindi thriller.
- Daayra stars Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran and examines a rape-and-murder case and a contested police encounter that raises questions about police conduct and due process.
- The film opened in theaters on September 18 and earned generally positive reviews for its procedural approach even as it underperformed at the box office, according to trade figures reported in recent coverage.
- How Netflix lists languages will shape who can watch the film easily across regions and may renew public discussion about accountability in policing as the movie reaches a larger, home-viewing audience.
