Overview
- Netflix began streaming the international “Raw & Uncut” edition on Thursday, restoring scenes and uncensored dialogue not in India’s theatrical cut.
- JioHotstar scheduled a Grand Digital Premiere in India on June 4 at 7 pm, with regular streaming from June 5 and a 30-minute “RAW and Undekha” special.
- The split strategy reflects Jio Studios holding India rights and using JioHotstar at home while Netflix carries the film overseas for broader reach.
- Viewers in Pakistan posted videos claiming Netflix briefly glitched after the launch and said the title trended No. 1, though these accounts are unverified.
- The sequel follows a record box-office run that helped the two-film franchise top about Rs 3,100 crore worldwide, raising the stakes for its OTT rollout.
