Fahadh Faasil’s Maareesan arrived earlier this year but had a poor theatrical run. However, the film managed to grab eyeballs once it arrived on OTT. However, its Netflix debut has also brought lukewarm viewership numbers to the table. In fact, it is the second-lowest Netflix debut of 2025.
Lowest Netflix Debut Of 2025
For a Hindi film, the lowest debut week numbers were registered by Azaad on Netflix. Rasha Thadani and Aaman Devgan’s film registered a debut week viewership of 1.1 million. Meanwhile, for a South Indian film, the lowest debut week was registered by Thammudu with 1 million views in its debut week. This is also the lowest debut week viewership for an Indian film.
Maareesan OTT Verdict
Maareesan, in its debut week, garnered a viewership of 1.6 million, against 4 million viewing hours taking the sixth spot in the globally trending list of top 10 non-English films on Netflix for the week of August 18 – August 24, as per data by Netflix. The film might pick up in the upcoming week.
