Dhanush's Tamil Film Kara to Stream on Netflix After Theatrical Run

Kara, a Tamil rural action-thriller starring Dhanush and directed by Vignesh Raja, has maintained a steady theatrical run since its April 30 release despite competition from Tamil Nadu's political climate. The film, featuring Mamitha Baiju and others, follows a man drawn back into crime to save his family from debt. It has earned an estimated 28.73 crore net in India and a worldwide gross of around 43.14 crore. Kara's digital rights have been acquired by Netflix, with an OTT release expected in late May or June 2026 after its theatrical run concludes.
