Projapati 2, the Bengali culinary drama reuniting Mithun Chakraborty and Dev for the third time on screen, is awaiting its OTT debut after a strong theatrical run that began on December 25, 2025. The streaming platform and digital premiere date have not been officially confirmed yet — though ZEE5, which hosted the original Projapati, is among the likely destinations when the announcement arrives.
When Is Projapati 2 Releasing on OTT?
Projapati 2’s OTT release date and platform have not been officially announced as of now. The film released in cinemas on December 25, 2025 across 256 screens in West Bengal, and has since completed its full theatrical window. The original Projapati (2022) made its digital debut on ZEE5 approximately four months after its theatrical release — a pattern that would place Projapati 2’s streaming premiere in early-to-mid 2026 if the makers follow a similar timeline.
Hoichoi, the dedicated Bengali content streaming platform, is also a strong contender given its consistent focus on Tollywood releases. An official OTT announcement from the makers — Dev Entertainment Ventures and Bengal Talkies — is expected soon.

What Is Projapati 2 About?
Projapati 2 centres on Joy (Dev), a single father and professional chef who has built his life in London, raising his young daughter while keeping an emotional distance from his Bengali roots. Back home in Kolkata, his father Gaur (Mithun Chakraborty) runs a traditional bhater hotel and quietly hopes his son will return, settle down, and reconnect with the family he left behind.
A festival brings scattered generations of the family back together — turning the family’s restaurant and home into a stage for reunion, unresolved emotions, and the redefinition of bonds that time and distance have stretched thin. The film uses food as both metaphor and backdrop, weaving the warmth of Bengali culinary tradition into its emotional core. Critics described it as a film that “knows exactly what it wants to be” — a big-hearted family drama that delivers on sentiment without overreaching, anchored by two lead performances that carry genuine lived-in weight.
Who Stars in Projapati 2?
Mithun Chakraborty anchors the film as Gaur, delivering what reviewers have praised as a performance of “quiet strength and lived-in emotion.” Dev, who also produces the film, plays Joy with ease and confidence that suits the character’s settled-but-searching arc. Jyotirmoyee Kundu makes her screen debut in the film, joined by Anirban Chakrabarti, Anumegha Kahali, Kharaj Mukherjee, Aparajita Auddy, and Shakuntala Barua, with Idhika Paul appearing in a special role.

The sequel continues the franchise’s thematic focus on family, food, and father-son relationships, with Sen’s direction earning praise for maintaining emotional restraint while allowing the performances to carry the weight of the story. The film holds an 8.1 on IMDb — a remarkable score for a Bengali family drama — reflecting strong audience affection for the Mithun-Dev pairing and the Projapati universe.
Where Can You Watch Projapati 2 Online?
Projapati 2’s OTT home is yet to be confirmed. The original film streamed on ZEE5, making it the most likely platform for the sequel as well — though Hoichoi remains a strong alternate possibility given its Tollywood focus. Once the streaming announcement is made, the film will be available in Bengali with subtitle options.
