Nayyi Navelli Day 1: ₹4.58 crore worldwide, Prime Video set

Yami Gautam Dhar’s horror comedy Nayyi Navelli has begun its theatrical run with a modest opening, and the digital road is already partly mapped. The film released in cinemas on 16 October 2026, and its official posters identify Amazon Prime Video as the streaming partner. What is still missing is a date.

A ₹4.58 crore worldwide opening

According to Sacnilk, the film earned ₹3.25 crore net in India on its first day. The domestic gross was ₹3.83 crore, while overseas markets contributed ₹75 lakh, making the worldwide gross ₹4.58 crore.

• Theatrical release: 16 October 2026
• OTT partner: Amazon Prime Video
• Day 1 worldwide gross: ₹4.58 crore
• Day 1 India net: ₹3.25 crore

A Stree-style supernatural romp

Set in Meerut, Nayyi Navelli follows a bride whose arrival in her marital home turns strange. Initially welcomed by the family, she becomes an object of suspicion for her brother-in-law, who fears she may be a witch. The plot deepens when her husband transforms into a monster, and a mysterious stone called Kaal Sheel, said to belong to the Treta Yuga, holds the key.

Directed by Balaji Mohan and written by Himanshu Sharma, the film leans into the horror-comedy territory that Stree made popular, blending family drama with supernatural chills and laughs. Yami Gautam Dhar heads a cast that includes Addinath Kothare, Anurag Thakur, Mita Vashishth, Sonal Jha, Sunita Rajwar, Sushmita Mukherjee, Aaditya Kulshresth and Suneel Sinha.

Why the OTT detail matters

For audiences who skip the big-screen run, the confirmed Prime Video tie-up matters more than the opening weekend. The exact streaming date has not been announced, so fans should watch out for an update rather than expect an immediate drop. In the meantime, the theatre run is the only official way to catch the film.

What fans can do now

If you want to catch Nayyi Navelli on the big screen, check local shows while the theatrical window is open. If you prefer streaming, add the title to your Prime Video watchlist and keep an eye out for the official date. Do not confuse the ₹4.58 crore worldwide gross with the ₹3.25 crore India net; the larger figure includes domestic gross and overseas collections.
