What day will Vaashi be released internationally and which OTT service has secured the rights to broadcast the courtroom drama internationally?
The Butcher of Delhi, Ghar Waapsi, Parampara Season 2 and F3: Fun and Frustration are just some of the major OTT releases coming out this week for fans of excellent Indian movies and TV shows.
But with the premiere of the popular Malayalam language legal drama Vaashi, this week’s OTT streaming releases will actually start earlier.
With its all-star cast and unusual courtroom storyline, Vaashi is the ideal film to unwind this weekend. But when will it be online and which OTT streaming service will show the film?
However, when they take opposing sides in a significant case involving the sexual assault of a woman without her consent under Section 375 of India’s Penal Code, their personal relationship is severely strained.
In this case, their personal stories, professional ethics and presence in the courtroom come into play as the two try to find a balance between their jobs and personal lives.
Two excellent self-made lawyers are determined to win a case by taking opposite sides in this “court drama”. – Vaashi summary obtained from IMDB.
Directed by Vishnu G. Raghav and starring Tovino Thomas and Keerthy Suresh, this film made its theatrical debut on June 17; However, when will it be available for OTT streaming and what platform will this legal drama be shown on?
VAASHI: OTT STREAMING PUBLICATION
The Netflix service has acquired the OTT streaming rights to the Vaashi film 2022, which premieres Sunday, July 17.
The film is rumored to be distributed in four languages: Kannada, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam (Original) (dubbed).
Netflix hasn’t publicly announced a date or time for the international premiere, but the service has recently developed a tradition of showcasing exclusive Indian content starting at 12:00 PM IST.
Due to the growing price differential between Amazon Prime Video and Disney Hotstar, two of its competitors, Netflix India notoriously reduced its prices earlier this year.
The assumption that everything must be overly dramatic and larger than life is so ingrained in modern cinema. It’s stimulating to watch movies that keep the plot a little more grounded. I liked how Vaashi depicts the courtroom as a courtroom rather than a battlefield with yelling and shouting. Well written, quite relevant and no doubt thought provoking – Neethuun-80013 as seen on IMDB.
The Hindu notes that Tovino and Keerthy put on strong performances even with the help of the supporting cast. The film, however, “flows along well but never jumps past the average watchable range thanks to this fairly lighter, no-risk take.”

The Indian Express also commends the main cast for bringing this courtroom to life, but again criticizes the writing for having “a highly subjective and personal level of interference, at least unconsciously,” which undermines the image of the justice system.
