When does Korean Kanakaraju stream on Netflix?
Netflix has set 4 September 2026 as the film’s OTT release date. The Netflix India announcement confirms the date but does not give an exact India launch time, so viewers should not treat an assumed midnight premiere as official.
The film is part of the India OTT lineup for August 31 to September 6.
How long is the theatre-to-OTT window?
Korean Kanakaraju opened in theatres on 7 August 2026 and reaches Netflix on 4 September, creating a 28-day gap between the two releases. For the original cinema announcement and story setup, see our Korean Kanakaraju theatrical release-date guide.
Which languages will be available?
Netflix’s announcement lists Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam. That gives the Telugu film a five-language streaming launch across major Indian-language audiences. Netflix has not attached any separate regional rollout dates to the announcement.
What is Korean Kanakaraju about?
Kanakaraju is a young man from Rayalaseema whose life changes after a vessel from Korea brings a spirit into his world. The spirit possesses him, turning the Korean connection into the engine of a horror comedy rather than a straight haunting story.
Varun Tej plays Kanakaraju, with Daksha Nagarkar, Satya and Ritika Nayak in the announced ensemble. Merlapaka Gandhi directs and writes the film, while S. Thaman composes the music. Our Korean Kanakaraju cast guide separates confirmed roles from character names that remain unannounced.
The short answer: watch Korean Kanakaraju on Netflix from 4 September 2026 in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada or Malayalam.
