Out of nowhere, Netflix India has announced the OTT premiere of Ek Chatur Naar (on November 7), starring Divya Khosla Kumar and Neil Nitin Mukesh. This release strategy positions the film directly against two major upcoming titles: the Manav Kaul-led horror thriller Baramulla and Guillermo del Toro’s highly anticipated gothic fantasy Frankenstein.
While the competition is fierce, the Divya Khosla Kumar–Neil Nitin Mukesh starrer comes armed with one crucial advantage: positive audience reception from its earlier theatrical run. Despite being a box-office disaster, that goodwill could fuel its success in the crowded OTT landscape.

The promotional campaigns for Baramulla and Frankenstein are dominating social media and will likely capture most Netflix users’ attention on November 7. However, Ek Chatur Naar’s niche appeal as a clever, twisty black comedy, paired with its impressive IMDb rating of 8.9/10 (based on over 5,400 reviews) and strong audience response, could work in its favour.
Ek Chatur Naar benefits immensely from the strong performances of its leads, Kumar and Mukesh. Critics have also praised the film’s irreverent, consistently engaging screenplay that keeps the twists coming. Moreover, its successful blend of suspense and dark humour makes it a compelling watch.
In a week when viewers might crave a break from gothic monsters and grim mysteries, Ek Chatur Naar’s reputation as an entertaining, witty, and tightly woven domestic thriller gives it a real shot at becoming the unexpected dark horse of Netflix’s November lineup. Stay tuned for more updates.
