Bison Set for Digital Premiere on Netflix
The highly acclaimed Tamil sports drama Bison, featuring Dhruv Vikram in a career-defining performance, is scheduled to make its digital debut on Netflix starting November 21. The film, which originally hit theaters in October to glowing reviews, will become accessible to streaming audiences across India and beyond.
Multi-Language Streaming Availability
Netflix South India officially announced the streaming date through their social media channels, confirming that the film will be available in five Indian languages: Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam. This multi-language release strategy ensures that the powerful story reaches a pan-Indian audience, breaking linguistic barriers.
The streaming platform shared the news with an impactful Tamil caption that translates to: "Kabaddi might be just a game for us, but for Kittan it's his entire life." This perfectly captures the essence of the film, where the sport becomes more than just a game—it's a battle for dignity and recognition.
Powerful Storyline and Stellar Cast
Directed by the acclaimed Mari Selvaraj, Bison follows the journey of a kabaddi player who must overcome systemic caste discrimination and societal barriers to achieve his ultimate dream of representing India internationally. The film doesn't shy away from addressing hard-hitting social issues while maintaining the thrill of sports drama.
The ensemble cast features outstanding performances from Pasupathy, Rajisha Vijayan, Lal, and Anupama Parameswaran in pivotal roles, each contributing to the film's emotional depth and narrative power. The production is a joint venture between Applause Entertainment and Neelam Studios.
Critical reception has been overwhelmingly positive, with reviews highlighting that Bison represents Mari Selvaraj's distinct political voice while being slightly more accessible to mainstream audiences. The film has been described as a fierce, deeply felt story powered by Dhruv Vikram's transformative performance.
