Telugu and Tamil Theatrical Movies Coming to Netflix in 2025

Using the hashtag #NetflixPandigai (“Netflix Festival”), Netflix took to social media over the past couple days to announce its acquisition of the streaming rights to nine Telugu-language and nine Tamil films set to release in 2025. South Indian movies generally debut on Netflix four weeks after they are released in theaters, but that window can be shorter or longer depending on how successful the films are at the box office. The streaming version of all of the movies will be dubbed into multiple languages.

Please note these are expected to be global releases but may vary.
