Bollywood megastar salman Khan’s high-profile film Sikandar, directed by acclaimed South indian filmmaker A.R. Murugadoss, has officially made its wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>digital debut on Netflix today. The emotional action drama, which was anticipated to be one of the year’s major box office draws, failed to meet commercial expectations during its theatrical run. Despite its strong star power, striking visuals, and emotionally-charged narrative, Sikandar struggled to connect with the larger cinema-going audience. With its Netflix release, the film now has a second chance to find resonance with viewers in a more personal and accessible setting.

The film is now streaming in Hindi, Arabic, and Zulu languages, with subtitle support in over 14 languages—signaling Netflix’s intent to position Sikandar as a global offering. This multi-language accessibility could widen its reach significantly, especially in non-Hindi-speaking regions. The OTT release gives the film room to breathe beyond the pressures of box office metrics, allowing audiences to engage with the emotional layers, stylized action, and Murugadoss’ storytelling at their own pace. It remains to be seen whether the wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>digital audience will respond more favorably than theatrical crowds, but early social media reactions suggest renewed interest.

Alongside salman khan, Sikandar features a powerful ensemble cast including rashmika mandanna in the lead female role, supported by veteran performers like Kajal Aggarwal, Sathyaraj, and Sharman Joshi. The film’s music is another highlight—songs by Pritam and a gripping score by santhosh narayanan enhance the film’s emotional arcs and action beats. Backed by sajid nadiadwala and salman khan himself, Sikandar was envisioned as a mass entertainer with emotional depth. Now in the OTT space, the film could finally reach the audience it missed in theatres, potentially gaining the cult following that some commercial underperformers have historically earned in the streaming era.
