Vignesh Raja’s Tamil heist film Kara is going to hit the digital screens less than a month after it was in theaters kind of suddenly it feels.

The movie starring Dhanush and Mamitha Baiju has reportedly earned more than ₹50 crore worldwide. After the April 30 theatrical release the film got mixed reactions from critics some liked the twists some felt the pacing was a bit off.

While the film’s team or the OTT platform have not put out any official announcement on social media Kara is still being streamed on Netflix starting May 28. A quick look on the OTT platform page itself confirms that it will go live from Thursday.

The Dhanush film is also shown in the list of upcoming releases. Soon after some screengrabs of the listing started doing the rounds on social media and many people were asking why the movie was being pushed to OTT in less than a month.

One X (formerly Twitter) user posted screengrabs of Kara’s listing on Netflix writing, “#Kara by @dhanushkraja. Release Date: April 30. Streaming Date: May 28. Time to come to streaming: 29 days. Is this how industry is going to save theatres? Those who have NETFLIX subscription and access to various website to do torrent why would they visit there when they know they can get 4K print in 29 days? @vigneshraja89 not done.”

“Dhanush's #Kara is coming to @NetflixIndia on Thursday 28th of May. It failed at the box office let's see about OTT,” wrote another.

One X user reasoned, “Don't know the case of all dhanush movies. But to my knowledge films that do great theatrical business usually have a delayed ott release. But in the case of kara it's almost done with its theatrical business, so the team might not wait longer for its ott.”
