As a diehard fan of Kannada cinema, I am absolutely thrilled about the upcoming digital release of Sriimurali’s superhero film, Bagheera, on Netflix! This is a monumental moment for our beloved regional industry, marking the first-ever OTT deal with such a global giant.
Sriimurali’s freshly released superhero flick Bagheera is poised to open a new page in the chronicles of Kannada cinema. Directed by Dr. Suri, this groundbreaking production will mark the first-ever OTT release for a regional language film industry on Netflix. The streaming titan has officially disclosed the digital launch date of the movie on their platform.
In conversation with X, it was revealed that Netflix India will launch the movie “Bagheera” on their streaming platform on November 21, 2024. Remarkably, this film will be accessible in not only Kannada but also Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam languages, offering a multi-lingual viewing experience.

For those unfamiliar, the movie launched during the busy Diwali 2024 season managed to find a good reception among viewers despite fierce competition from multiple other films released on the same day.
The initial hint that Bagheera would be released on Netflix came from OTT Play, who stated that it is the first Kannada movie to secure a deal for digital streaming rights with a major platform like this.
Indeed, this is a significant milestone for the Kannada film industry since no other movies from this region have previously secured a substantial deal with Netflix like this one has.
Although the major platform supported Over-The-Top (OTT) releases for films from Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam industries, it’s worth noting that Kannada movies were primarily accessible on different streaming platforms instead.
Speaking about the movie “Bagheera,” its star-studded lineup features actors like Sriimurali, Rukmini Vasanth, Prakash Raj, Achyuth Kumar, Sudha Rani, Ramachandra Raju, among others.
The movie is produced by Hombale Films, and its plot has been created by Prashanth Neel. The camera work is handled by Arjun Shetty, and the music for it is composed by B Ajaneesh Loknath.
By November 14, 2024, the global box office earnings for this movie totaled approximately 290 million Indian Rupees. Remarkably, even with a modest budget, Bagheera managed to rake in more than 160 million Indian Rupees within India, confirming its success.
