After completing its theatrical run that began on February 13, 2026, the survival thriller Tu Yaa Main, starring Shanaya Kapoor and Adarsh Gourav, is finally set for its digital debut. The film, which received mixed reactions from audiences for its intense storytelling and performances, is now gearing up to reach viewers worldwide through OTT.
Directed by Bejoy Nambiar, the film will begin streaming on Netflix from April 10, 2026.
Tu Yaa Main OTT Release: When And Where To Watch
The announcement was made by Netflix through an Instagram teaser that showcased a tense moment from the film. In the clip, Shanaya Kapoor’s character can be heard screaming for help while the camera zooms in on a crocodile slowly opening its eyes, setting the tone for the film’s suspenseful atmosphere.
The streaming platform captioned the video with the line:
“Love can be eye-opening ❤️ Watch Tu Yaa Main, out April 10, on Netflix.”
With its OTT premiere, the makers are expecting the film to find a wider global audience beyond theatres.
Director Bejoy Nambiar shared his thoughts on the digital release, saying the film was always meant to deliver a visceral and unpredictable experience.
“Tu Yaa Main was always about creating something visceral and unpredictable. We wanted audiences to feel the tension as it unfolds. It’s been great to see people connect with it, especially since it’s not a genre we do often. And with the Netflix release, we’re excited for more audiences to experience it as well,” he said.
Tu Yaa Main Box Office Performance
Despite its gripping premise, Tu Yaa Main struggled to make a strong impact at the box office.
According to reports, the film was made on an estimated budget of ₹20 crore but managed to collect only ₹7.31 crore in net earnings during its theatrical run. Its worldwide gross collections stood at approximately ₹8.47 crore, making it a modest performer commercially.
However, OTT releases often give such films a second life, particularly those belonging to niche genres like survival thrillers.
Tu Yaa Main Plot: Survival Thriller With A Dangerous Twist

Their relationship takes a dramatic turn when they embark on a trip to Goa. What begins as a romantic getaway soon spirals into a fight for survival when a deadly predator enters the picture.
The storyline blends emotional connection and romance with high-stakes survival drama, keeping viewers engaged as the tension escalates.
The movie is widely believed to be inspired by the Thai survival thriller The Pool.
