Tom Cruise’s latest movie ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ has not only turned out to be a blockbuster hit but has also shattered several records in one go. The ‘Top Gun’ sequel has become the highest-grossing film of Tom Cruise’s illustrious career, beating even his Mission Impossible movies at the worldwide box office. ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ has also set a few milestones for its production company, Paramount Pictures. It is the second highest grossing film of all time for Paramount Pictures.
While audiences have thronged theatres to watch Top Gun: Maverick, fans are eagerly awaiting its OTT release, especially in India. Tom Cruise fans in a number of smaller cities and towns in the country are still to watch Top Gun: Maverick, coz there are no theatres hosting the film in their hometowns. A sizeable number of audiences are waiting for the film to release on streaming, so that they can watch the movie from the comfort of their homes.
Well, let us ponder first on Top Gun: Maverick‘s streaming platform in India. Since it’s a Paramount Pictures release, the film is likely to come on streaming on Paramount’s dedicated streaming platform, Paramount Plus. In India, Paramount Plus is a partner in the Indian streaming platform, Voot Select, along with Reliance Entertainment and Boddhi Tree Systems. All Paramount Plus series release on Voot Select in India. There’s a tiny chance that Top Gun: Maverick will release on Voot Select in India.
However, as per our understanding, Top Gun: Maverick will most probably stream on Prime Video or Netflix in India. Several recent Paramount Pictures titles have found their way to Prime Video in India – The Lost City, Scream, No Time To Die, for instance. A few are also streaming on Netflix – for example, A Quiet Place II. Either of these two platforms – Prime Video or Netflix – will be the likely streaming home for Top Gun: Maverick. Our bet is on Prime Video, though.
As for the question, when will Top Gun: Maverick stream in India, let us tell you that the film will not arrive on OTT anytime soon. Paramount Pictures has a strict 45-day exclusive theatrical window for all its films. The theatrical window is even longer in the case of its tent-pole films, one of which Top Gun: Maverick definitely is.
If Top Gun: Maverick streams on digital after 45 days in the USA, it should arrive on Paramount Plus by July 10th. The film will take several days longer to stream on Indian OTT platforms. We can safely assume that Top Gun: Maverick will not stream in India before the start of August.
Of course, there’s no official word on the streaming details of Top Gun: Maverick. The above is only informed calculation from our side. Stay tuned to Binged.com as we bring you confirmed info on the India streaming date and platform for Top Gun: Maverick as soon as we can.
