The period thriller ‘Kaantha’, starring Dulquer Salmaan, has officially premiered on the streaming platform Netflix as of Friday, December 12, 2025.
The film, which is set against the backdrop of the 1950s Madras cinema industry, is an intense drama exploring the price of fame, betrayal, and a mysterious murder.
Following its theatrical run, which garnered mixed reviews but praised Dulquer’s “career-defining performance,” the film is now available for streaming in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Hindi, and as ‘Shaantha’ in Kannada.
Critics noted that while the visual language and period recreation were strong, the narrative sometimes lacked cohesion.
The OTT release gives audiences a chance to appreciate the film’s technical brilliance and strong performances from the comfort of home.
