Dhruv Vikram’s much-talked-about sports action drama Bison, directed by Mari Selvaraj, is all set to make its digital debut. After a successful theatrical run since its release on October 17, 2025, the film is now gearing up for its OTT launch.
Bison to Stream on Netflix from November 21
The makers have officially confirmed that Bison will premiere on Netflix on November 21, 2025.
The platform also announced that the film will be available in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam, making it accessible to a wider audience across India.
Sharing the update, Netflix highlighted the emotional core of the story with a message that translates to: “Kabaddi might just be a game for many, but for Kittan, it is his entire life.”
Storyline: A Determined Kabaddi Player’s Rise Against All Odds
Set in the 1990s, Bison revolves around Kittan Velusamy, a young boy from a marginalized community in rural Tamil Nadu. Growing up with the dream of excelling in kabaddi, he begins his journey during his school years.
However, his path is far from easy. Kittan faces multiple roadblocks, including:
- Social discrimination
- Prejudices from dominant groups
- Pressure from his own family
- Hostility and violence from local rivals
Despite these challenges, his natural sportsmanship and unwavering spirit push him to fight back. The film chronicles how Kittan eventually rises to become a national kabaddi player representing India at the Asian Games.
The narrative draws inspiration from the real struggles of kabaddi athlete P. Ganesan.
