The Tamil sports action drama Mandaadi, starring Soori and Suhas, will premiere on Netflix on 8 October 2026. The film, directed by Mathimaran Pugazhendhi and produced by Elred Kumar, will be available in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada and Malayalam.

According to the makers, Mandaadi has grossed Rs 150 crore worldwide. 123telugu.com reports the film collected over Rs 150 crore globally, while The Economic Times states it crossed Rs 100 crore in India and Rs 150 crore worldwide. The film was released alongside Karthi’s Sardaar 2 and has become Soori’s first film as a lead actor to cross the Rs 100 crore mark. Vetrimaaran and Kamal Haasan have praised the film.
Both sources report the same key facts: the 8 October Netflix premiere and the Rs 150 crore worldwide gross, though The Economic Times adds the India-only figure of Rs 100 crore and mentions praise from Vetrimaaran and Kamal Haasan, which 123telugu.com omits. 123telugu.com frames the OTT release as a major event for a blockbuster, while The Economic Times provides more context about Soori’s career transition and industry recognition. Neither outlet shows any government or ideological slant. The coverage is uniform straight reporting with the Economic Times carrying extra detail. The next concrete date is the 8 October Netflix premiere.
