Netflix has confirmed the digital streaming rights for Telugu crime thriller Mrithyunjay, starring Sree Vishnu and Reba Monica John. The film released in theatres on March 6, 2026, directed by Hussain Sha Kiran, and will make its OTT premiere on Netflix following the completion of its theatrical window. A specific Netflix streaming date has not been announced yet.
Which OTT Platform Is Streaming Mrithyunjay?
Mrithyunjay will stream exclusively on Netflix after its theatrical run. Netflix has acquired the digital rights to the film, marking an interesting situation for Sree Vishnu — his two back-to-back 2026 releases landed on competing streaming giants, with Vishnu Vinyasam going to Amazon Prime Video while Mrithyunjay heads to Netflix. Both films arrived in theatres within weeks of each other, reflecting the actor’s rapid output at the start of the year.
An exact OTT release date on Netflix has not been confirmed by the makers or the platform. Based on standard theatrical windows for Telugu films, the Netflix premiere is expected to be announced within four to six weeks of the March 6 theatrical release. Fans and subscribers can expect an official streaming date announcement to follow once the film completes its run in cinemas.
What Is Mrithyunjay About?
Mrithyunjay is an investigative crime thriller that follows Jay, played by Sree Vishnu, as he digs into what initially appears to be a single murder case but quickly unravels into a far larger conspiracy involving a financial scam and a chain of connected killings. The film is built around the procedural tension of a determined protagonist chasing a trail that grows more dangerous with each layer of the truth he uncovers.
Director Hussain Sha Kiran has constructed the film as a tightly paced thriller, with reports confirming a crisp runtime that keeps the investigative narrative lean and propulsive. The story leans into the genre of financial crime thrillers — a space that has found consistent audience interest in Telugu OTT content over recent years — with Sree Vishnu’s performance as the central investigative figure carrying the emotional and narrative weight of the film.
Who Stars in Mrithyunjay?
Sree Vishnu leads the film as Jay, continuing his strong run of performance-driven roles in Telugu cinema. Known for choosing scripts that prioritise character complexity over mass hero conventions, Sree Vishnu’s presence in a crime thriller is a natural fit given his track record in layered, performance-intensive projects. Reba Monica John stars as the female lead alongside him, in what marks one of her most prominent Telugu film appearances.
The film is directed by Hussain Sha Kiran, who has crafted a straightforward investigative thriller without the padding common to the genre. The decision to keep the runtime tight works in the film’s favour, giving the narrative urgency from its opening frames rather than building slowly toward the central mystery.
Enjoyed watching #Mrithyunjay kept me hooked till the end. We all know how good @sreevishnuoffl is with his comic timing and fun roles. This was a surprise and well done.
Congratulations dear @sunnygunnam on your maiden production. Always knew you would go for something…— Nani (@NameisNani) March 5, 2026
How Did Mrithyunjay Perform at the Box Office?
Mrithyunjay arrived in theatres on March 6, 2026, during a competitive week for Telugu releases. The film faced the challenge of a cluttered theatrical window but held its own as a mid-scale thriller without the marquee star backing of larger contemporaneous releases. Its performance at the box office will determine how quickly Netflix moves to announce the OTT premiere date, as stronger theatrical runs typically result in longer digital windows before streaming.
When Will Mrithyunjay Stream on Netflix?
Mrithyunjay will stream on Netflix after its theatrical run. The exact OTT release date has not been announced yet by the makers or Netflix. Going by the standard four-to-six-week theatrical window for Telugu films, the Netflix premiere is likely to fall sometime in April 2026. The film will be available in Telugu on the platform, and dubbed language availability will be confirmed closer to the streaming date.
