The highly acclaimed Tamil film Amaran, featuring Sivakarthikeyan and Sai Pallavi, is finally making its way to OTT platforms after a remarkable theatrical run. Garnering immense praise as a tribute to Major Mukund Varadarajan, the movie has become one of the most eagerly awaited releases on Netflix this December.
Amaran’s Outstanding Box Office Performance
Amaran has been ruling the box office since its release. The movie, which received excellent reviews, has already minted ₹322 crore worldwide. Even in the fourth week, it continues to attract audiences, beating some of the big contenders like Suriya’s Kanguva and Dulquer Salmaan’s Lucky Baskhar.
According to trade reports from Sacnilk, Amaran has earned ₹211.70 crore domestically by its fourth Thursday. Compared with this, Kanguva managed ₹69.10 crore in 15 days, while Lucky Baskhar secured ₹72.68 crore over 29 days.
The stellar performance has prompted the makers to delay the OTT release to maximize theatrical revenue, breaking the usual trend of releasing Tamil films on digital platforms within 28 days of their theatrical debut.
When and Where to Watch Amaran on OTT
Amaran will be released on Netflix on December 5, 2024, according to recent announcements. The producers have decided to push the film’s digital release date to December 5 from November 28, considering the success of the film at the theatres. Fans can stream the movie on Netflix and enjoy a new experience which they missed in the cinema.
Plot and Inspiration: A Tribute to a Her
Based on the book India’s Most Fearless: True Stories of Modern Military Heroes by Shiv Aroor and Rahul Singh, Amaran is a story about Major Mukund Varadarajan, a decorated Rashtriya Rifles commander. It is told from the point of view of his wife, Indhu Rebecca Varghese, as the film explores his bravery and sacrifice.
Major Mukund was awarded the Ashok Chakra posthumously for his gallantry during a counterterrorism operation in Jammu and Kashmir. The official citation talks about his extraordinary leadership, courage, and swift action, which resulted in the killing of three top terrorists. His sacrifice in April 2014 made him the fourth recipient of the Ashok Chakra from Tamil Nadu.
