Amar Singh Chamkila OTT Release Date & Platform: WHEN & WHERE To Watch?

The Diljit Dosanjh-Parineeti Chopra starrer is all set to release directly on Netflix on 12th April 2024 (Friday)!

Talking about the decision to release Amar Singh Chamkila on an OTT platform, director Imtiaz Ali said in a statement, "Well, new things come along and you must try it... I believe that I am like a big cinema watcher, like a theatre viewer and a director. When I close my eyes and think about a film, I always imagine myself on the big screen in a theatre and watching the big screen. I can't help it, but I don't think that will be a bad thing for a film I made for an OTT."

"So, it's a new thing and I feel that there is a certain reach and the point of making Chamkila for me, I am a Hindi film director but making Chamkila in Hindi I thought was necessary because Chamkila is a very big subject and I think it's a universal subject. So, I wanted people who are not from Punjab should also see it and enjoy it. People perhaps that are not from this country and don't even speak these native languages should be able to enjoy it. So, that's the reason why we made Chamkila in Hindi, that's not your question, but that's my answer," he added.
