Japan OTT Release Date And Platform: Here's When And Where To Watch Karthi's Heist Comedy
Japan OTT Release Date: Karthi's latest film, "Japan," written and directed by Raju Murugan, was released in theatres on November 10, 2023, coinciding with Diwali.
The film, featuring an intriguing plot around a gold burglar, generated considerable buzz upon its release. Despite the initial hype, "Japan" fell short of box office expectations in both Tamil and Telugu markets. Released alongside Karthik Subbaraj's "Jigarthanda Double X," the latter received positive reviews, surpassing "Japan" and emerging as the box office champion.
Netflix secured the film's OTT rights, and the platform announced that the movie will start its digital streaming on December 11th. The news of its Netflix release is trending. Reportedly, Netflix secured the digital rights for about Rs. 20 crores, and they will stream the movie in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi.
Japan Cast, Crew, And Other Details
The "Japan" cast includes notable names such as Karthi, Anu Emmanuel, Jithan Ramesh, Sunil, Vijay Milton, Vagai Chandrasekhar, and Bava Chelladurai. The film was officially announced in August 2022, kicking off its journey towards the big screen. Principal photography commenced in November, with Thoothukudi serving as the backdrop for the first schedule, which wrapped up in mid-December. Following a short hiatus, the second schedule in Chennai began a week after the first concluded, promising a visual treat for moviegoers.
One of the highlights of "Japan" is its music, crafted by the acclaimed G. V. Prakash Kumar. This marks his fifth collaboration with Karthi, following previous successful ventures such as "Aayirathil Oruvan" (2010), "Saguni" (2012), "Komban" (2015), and "Sardar" (2022). Notably, this project marks his first partnership with director Raju.
Ravi Varman and Philomin Raj are responsible for cinematography and editing, respectively, promising a visually engaging and well-crafted cinematic experience for this crime comedy-thriller.
