'Pathaan' OTT release: When, where to watch SRK-Deepika Padukone's spy-thriller
Siddharth Anand's upcoming spy-thriller Pathaan may have been enveloped in seemingly endless controversies for the past few weeks, but that has had no impact on its business and commercial aspects. While there's still a month for the anxiously-awaited action extravaganza to knock in theaters, reportedly, its OTT rights have already been sealed! Here's when and where you can catch Pathaan post its theatrical run.
Why does this story matter?
Pathaan will mark Shah Rukh Khan's return to the 70mm in a full-fledged role for the first time in over four years. He was last seen as a protagonist in Zero, and subsequently, had cameo appearances in Laal Singh Chaddha, Brahmastra: Part One—Shiva, and Rocketry: The Nambi Effect. Pathaan is eyeing a theatrical release on January 25, 2023, in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
Likely to hit Amazon Prime Video in Summer 2023
Per multiple media reports, Pathaan will land on Amazon Prime Video by March end or the beginning of April next year. However, if the film does momentous business at the box office, its OTT debut may be pushed ahead, too. While some reports suggested that the film has been sold for a whopping Rs. 100cr, others reported a jaw-dropping amount of Rs. 200cr.
Several recent YRF films can be found on same platform
Unsurprisingly, the makers have chosen Amazon Prime Video for the spy thriller's digital premiere. In the recent past, several movies by Yash Raj Films arrived on the same platform months after their theatrical outing. Some examples are Divyang Thakkar's Jayeshbhai Jordaar, Chandraprakash Dwivedi's Samrat Prithviraj, Dibakar Banerjee's Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar, Varun V Sharma's Bunty Aur Babli 2, and Karan Malhotra's Shamshera, among others.

Dunki, co-starring Taapsee Pannu, will hit the theaters on December 22, 2023. Jawan co-stars Nayanthara and is scheduled for release on June 2 next year. Jawan's teaser was released in June, while Dunki's shooting is reportedly still in progress.
