Kamal Haasan’s Thug Life now streaming on Netflix
Fans who missed the theatrical run of the highly anticipated Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam collaboration, Thug Life, now have a chance to catch the film from the comfort of their homes.
The action-drama, which hit cinemas on June 5, 2025, has made an early debut on Netflix, beginning its streaming journey today, July 3, 2025.
The film, which reunites the iconic actor-director duo after nearly four decades since Nayakan (1987), garnered immense buzz prior to its release.
However, despite the star power and high expectations, Thug Life opened to mixed reviews and faced an underwhelming box office performance.
This early OTT (Over-The-Top) premiere, significantly shorter than the standard eight-week theatrical window, is seen as a strategic move by the makers to reach a wider audience and potentially find a second life for the film.
Netflix has made “Thug Life” available in multiple languages, including Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam, ensuring accessibility for a diverse viewership across India and beyond.
