Naveen Polishetty’s Sankranthi sensation Anaganaga Oka Raju finally hit the digital space last week, however the reception hasn’t been quite as roaring because it had been in the theaters. After an enormous theatrical run where it reportedly crossed the 100 crore mark worldwide, the film arrived on Netflix on February 11, 2026. Nevertheless, the first-week numbers didn’t paint a much celebratory picture!
While the film was trending at number 2 in India, just behind Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar, its global debut numbers are on the lower side for a blockbuster of this scale. Nevertheless, the silver lining is that the film performed higher than Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil, which arrived on the platform through the same time!
Anaganaga Oka Raju OTT Verdict
As per the data by Netflix, Anaganaga Oka Raju, in its debut week, garnered a viewership of 2 million on Netflix against 4.8 million viewing hours and secured the sixth spot in the globally trending list of top 10 non-English movies on Netflix.
The slow start on Netflix is probably going because of the film’s massive reach during its theatrical run. Having been released on January 14, 2026, the film enjoyed a really strong four-week window where it was watched by a major chunk of its goal family audience.
While 2 million views isn’t a failure by any means for a 2-tier film, it still puts Naveen Polishetty in the bottom five debuts list, and it’s actually a lukewarm arrival for a movie that dominated the Sankranthi season.
Take a look at the bottom 10 debut week viewership for a South Indian film on Netflix since 2025.

Note: The debut week viewership numbers are the official numbers given by Netflix for all of the movies that arrived on the platform, no matter the day they arrived in per week. Some arrived on the fourth day of the week, some on the fifth, and so forth, but the debut numbers are calculated by Netflix weekly, not day-wise.
