Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar (Uncensored) Feature in 2026 OTT Rankings; Main Version Tops With 31.1M Views

BY SACNILK

The OTT market has produced several major successes in 2026, with a mix of theatrical blockbusters and direct-to-digital releases attracting significant viewership across platforms. The latest rankings of the most-viewed Indian films on OTT reveal a clear leader at the top, while also highlighting the growing dominance of Netflix in the streaming space. Dhurandhar currently stands as the most-watched Indian film on OTT in 2026. Streaming on Netflix, the film has accumulated an impressive 31.1 million views, making it the only title to cross the 30 million-view milestone so far this year. The gap between Dhurandhar and the rest of the field is substantial, underlining the scale of its digital success. Accused occupies the second position with 16.6 million views, followed by Made In Korea with 13.5 million views. Haq and Mardaani 3 complete the top five with 11.3 million and 10.7 million views respectively. While several films have managed to cross the 10 million-view mark, none have come close to matching Dhurandhar's performance. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Most Watched Indian OTT Films in 2026RANKMOVIE NAMEPLATFORMVIEWERSHIP (MILLIONS)1DhurandharNetflix31.1M2AccusedNetflix16.6M3Made In KoreaNetflix13.5M4HaqNetflix11.3M5Mardaani 3Netflix10.7M6KartavyaNetflix10.3M7The Raja SaabJioHotstar10.3M8Tere Ishk MeinNetflix9.7M9SubedaarAmazon Prime Video9.6M10De De Pyaar De 2Netflix7.7M A closer look at the rankings shows just how far ahead Dhurandhar is from its competitors. The film's 31.1 million views are nearly double the 16.6 million views recorded by Accused and more than twice the tally of third-placed Made In Korea. In fact, Dhurandhar enjoys a lead of 14.5 million views over the film placed immediately behind it. Another interesting detail from the rankings is the presence of Dhurandhar (Uncensored). The alternate version of the film has also found an audience on streaming platforms, accumulating 3.3 million views across Netflix . The title currently ranks 22nd among the most-viewed Indian OTT films of 2026. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) When both versions are considered together, the Dhurandhar brand has generated a combined 34.4 million views across OTT platform. While the main version accounts for the overwhelming majority of the audience, the additional viewership recorded by the uncensored cut further extends the film's digital reach. Platform-wise, Netflix dominates the rankings. Eight of the top ten films are streaming on the platform, including each of the top six positions. JioHotstar's The Raja Saab and Amazon Prime Video's Subedaar are the only non-Netflix titles to secure places in the top ten. The rankings also highlight the increasing scale of OTT consumption in India. Seven films have crossed the 10 million-view mark, while only three titles have managed to exceed 13 million views. Dhurandhar remains the lone film to breach the 30 million-view milestone, making it the standout performer of the year so far. With several major theatrical releases still expected to arrive on streaming platforms in the coming months, the leaderboard could see further changes. For now, however, Dhurandhar remains the clear leader among Indian OTT films in 2026, with its main version topping the charts and its uncensored version also securing a place among the year's most-viewed digital releases.

Dragon Glimpse YouTube Records: Jr. NTR Starrer Crosses 105 Million Views to Join Elite Top 3

BY SACNILK

The digital reception for the glimpse of Dragon has reached a significant milestone within just one week of its release. Based on the latest YouTube data, the first look has officially surpassed 105 million views across all languages. This achievement places the film in a very exclusive category, making it only the third movie glimpse in the history of Indian cinema to cross the 100 million views mark. A major driver behind this record-breaking trajectory was the video's performance in its initial 24 hours. During its first day, the glimpse recorded 64 million views, setting an all-time record for a first-day debut. The reach in the Hindi-speaking belt has been particularly noteworthy, with the Hindi version alone contributing over 25 million views and nearly 300k likes. This level of engagement suggests a strong pan-India interest that extends well beyond the primary regional markets. Dragon currently sits at the third spot on the all-time list, trailing just behind Peddi and Toxic. With the way views are still coming in, the glimpse is expected to cross the 110 million mark set by Toxic very soon. Once it does, it will officially claim the second position on the historical leaderboard.

Kara OTT Release Date: Dhanush's Gritty Period Heist Thriller Set for Netflix Premiere on May 28

BY SACNILK

Dhanush fans have been eagerly waiting for the next update on his gritty action thriller, Kara, and the news is finally here. Following its theatrical release earlier this year, the film is now set to reach a much wider audience through its digital debut. Directed by Vignesh Raja, who previously impressed everyone with the investigative thriller Por Thozhil, Kara brought together a powerhouse combination of Dhanush's intense performance and the high production values of Kamal Haasan's RKFI. The buzz surrounding the film was significant from the start, especially with Kamal Haasan producing it under a massive budget of 135 Crores. Where and when to stream Kara on OTT? After completing its theatrical window, the makers have locked in the digital premiere. Netflix has officially secured the digital streaming rights for the film in a deal reported to be around 50 Crores. Kara is scheduled to start streaming on Netflix from May 28, 2026. To cater to Dhanush's massive pan-India following, the platform will release the film in its original Tamil version along with dubbed versions in Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada. This move to Netflix on May 28 allows viewers across the country to experience this period heist thriller on their screens. What is the story of Kara? The film is a unique heist thriller set in 1991 against the realistic backdrop of the Gulf War fuel crisis. The narrative follows Karasaami, popularly known as Kara, a reformed thief who returns to his village in Ramanathapuram after years. His plan is simple: sell his ancestral land to fund his dream of opening a canteen with his wife. However, he quickly discovers that his village is being strangled by a corrupt rural bank manager and a ruthless police officer who exploit the farmers through predatory debt cycles. This discovery forces Kara to return to his criminal roots, leading to a high-stakes, realistic heist aimed at reclaiming the villagers’ mortgaged assets and delivering justice. If we look at the financial performance, Kara's run has been a mix of steady collections and heavy production costs. While the 135 Crore budget puts it in the flop category theatrically, the film has remarkably managed to become the 6th highest-grossing Tamil movie of all time so far this year(in terms of collection). As of day 26(4th Monday) it secured a worldwide gross of ₹53.68Cr(approx), showing consistent interest from the audience despite the high stakes. A significant portion of this success came from the international markets, where a strong overseas performance helped provide a much-needed cushion to the domestic totals.

Patriot OTT Release Date: When and Where to Stream the Mammootty-Mohanlal Spy Thriller

BY SACNILK

Despite the massive hype surrounding the historic reunion of Mollywood's twin towers, Mammootty and Mohanlal, their latest high-octane collaboration has failed to set the cash registers ringing as expected. Patriot, directed by Mahesh Narayanan, arrived in theaters with the burden of colossal expectations and an equally massive budget, reported to be in the range of ₹125 to ₹140 crore. While the film served as a visual treat for fans, it struggled to convert that excitement into a healthy theatrical run, ultimately finding it difficult to recover the significant moolah invested in its production. Where and when to stream Patriot on OTT? With the theatrical window coming to a close and the film failing to sustain momentum at the ticket windows, the makers have moved quickly to finalize its digital premiere. Patriot is officially scheduled to stream on OTT starting June 5, 2026. The digital streaming rights were bagged by ZEE5, which plans to release the film in its original Malayalam version alongside dubbed versions in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi. While the film may have faced a commercial setback in theaters, the June 5 premiere on ZEE5 offers a chance for the spy thriller to find a larger audience across the country on the small screen. What is the story of Patriot? The film is a sophisticated spy thriller set against a backdrop of international espionage and internal political betrayal. The narrative follows Vikramadithyan (Mohanlal), a seasoned high-ranking RAW agent who has gone off the grid following a failed mission in Europe. He is forced out of hiding when a series of coordinated cyber-attacks and assassinations threaten to destabilize the Indian government from within. Enter Chief Minister Raghavan (Mammootty), a veteran politician known for his uncompromising ethics and iron-fisted governance. Realizing that the threat isn't just external but involves a mole in his own cabinet, Raghavan enlists Vikramadithyan to weed out the global syndicate. The film was noted for its technical brilliance and the rare opportunity to see the two legends sharing the frame in a modern political setting. Analyzing the commercial data, the numbers fall short of the heavy lifting required for such a high-budget project. By the end of its run, Patriot managed to pull in just over ₹80 crore at the worldwide box office. While the film saw a decent contribution from the overseas kitty, with international markets adding over ₹43 crore, the domestic performance was notably soft. The India gross collection struggled to cross the ₹37 crore mark. For a film produced on a staggering budget of ₹125+ crore, these totals represent a significant disappointment, as the theatrical returns didn't come close to covering the production costs, leaving the film in the red. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Patriot: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Is Patriot a hit or a flop? Patriot is a Box Office Disappointment. Despite grossing over ₹80 Cr worldwide, the film failed to break even due to its massive reported budget of ₹125–₹140 crore, leading to losses for the stakeholders. Where to stream Patriot on OTT? The film will be available for streaming exclusively on ZEE5 in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi. Who are the lead actors in Patriot? The film features the iconic duo of Mammootty and Mohanlal in lead roles, marking their first full-length collaboration in years. What is the OTT release date for Patriot? The confirmed OTT release date for Patriot is June 5, 2026, on the ZEE5 platform.

Dhurandhar The Revenge OTT Views: Sequel hits 1.8M views and secures a top global spot for non-English films

BY SACNILK

The Dhurandhar franchise is currently witnessing a rare phenomenon on Netflix, where both the prequel and the newly released sequel are dominating global and regional charts simultaneously. While the sequel, Dhurandhar The Revenge (Raw & Undekha), is making waves across international markets, the original film continues to hold its ground in India with remarkable consistency. In its debut week between May 11 and May 17, 2026, Dhurandhar The Revenge has secured the number 5 spot on Netflix's Global Top 10 for Non-English movies. The film garnered 1.8 million views (18 lakh views) in its first weekend alone. Despite its massive runtime of 3 hours and 52 minutes, it clocked an impressive 6.8 million hours viewed (68 lakh hours), indicating high audience retention despite the length. What makes this global success particularly interesting is that the sequel is currently not streaming in India.

Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan and Yash's Toxic Under Pressure With Lukewarm OTT Deals?

BY SACNILK

Chennai, May 9 - Two of the most-awaited South Indian films, Thalapathy Vijay's political action drama Jana Nayagan and Yash-fronted Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups have been in the news for various reasons, and this isn't helping their cause when it comes to locking post-theatrical digital deals. Jana Nayagan, directed by H. Vinoth, was supposed to be released in January this year, but the issues with the censor board delayed the film indefinitely. On top of that, the movie was leaked online recently, which has given a massive blow to the film's overall business prospects. While the election victory of Vijay in the Tamil Nadu election has filled the fans with enthusiasm and has created a positive atmosphere around the film's theatrical release, which is expected later this month, the same is not making much impact when it comes to OTT release. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The original OTT deal of Jana Nayagan was cancelled due to continuous delay, and now, OTT players are reluctant to secure the digital rights of the movie. Contrary to the original deal, which was reportedly acquired by Amazon Prime Video for 120 crores, the new OTT offer is said to be less than half of it. It is said that a major OTT player recently offered around 50 crores for post-theatrical digital rights of the movie, which is significantly lower than the original price. There is no clarity yet on whether the deal is locked or not. Some updates are expected in the next few days, with the theatrical release around the corner. Similarly, superstar Yash's Kannada and English bilingual film, Toxic, is also under extreme pressure due to continuous delay and reportedly fading interest among the digital platforms. The movie was scheduled to release on March 19, but was delayed to June 4 due to the war in the Gulf, since the film carries huge box office potential in this region. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) When it looked like it would finally be making its debut on June 4, the makers postponed it again to a later date. In a statement, the team revealed that due to the encouraging response at the CinemaCon event, the makers are now aiming for a much wider release in international territories, and to do that, they are in the process of locking a distribution partner for the same. The frequent delay in release plans is not only testing the patience of the fans, but also making a huge blow to digital prospects. As per unconfirmed reports, the OTT platforms are not willing to offer more than 100 crores for digital rights, which is much lower than the makers' expectations of at least 200 crores. This is also said to be one of the reasons behind the release postponement. Interestingly, both films are produced by KVN Productions, with Toxic co-produced by Yash's Monster Mind Creations. With time already running out, and the buzz is fading away, the studio is now in a difficult position to balance films' financial viability against market realities.
