The latest Hollywood horror thriller The Mummy, directed by Lee Cronin and backed by producers James Wan and Jason Blum, has finally made its way to Indian OTT platforms. After its recent PVOD release overseas, the film is now available for Indian audiences, but with a couple of notable caveats.
Instead of a single streaming home, the film has arrived on two platforms: Amazon Prime Video and BMS Stream. However, this digital arrival comes with a price tag that may raise eyebrows. Viewers need to pay a rental fee of Rs. 499 on Prime Video and Rs. 549 on BMS Stream to watch the movie. For many, this feels steep for an OTT release, especially when the film is still playing in nearby theatres. Given the scale and atmosphere of a horror thriller, the big screen might still be the better bargain for those who have the option.
Pricing, though, is only half the story. Another major disappointment is the absence of regional language options on OTT. While dubbed versions in Telugu and other Indian languages were available during the theatrical run, these audio tracks are currently missing from the streaming platforms. This limits the reach of the film and may prompt regional audiences to wait until the dubbed versions are officially added.
The film features Laia Costa, Jack Reynor, Veronica Falcón, and May Calamawy in key roles, delivering a tense and eerie experience for horror fans. For viewers who are comfortable watching the film in English and do not mind the rental cost, it is available to stream right now.
For everyone else, patience may be the wiser choice. Lower prices or the addition of regional language tracks could make this OTT release far more appealing in the coming weeks. Until then, keep an eye out for more updates from the ever-busy OTT world.
