I’m Game — JioHotstar, November 6. Dulquer Salmaan leads this Malayalam action thriller — in Canada, where JioHotstar launched in September; no US launch yet. India-only: Haiwaan streams on SonyLIV from November 6, but SonyLIV does not operate in the US or Canada.

FILMVERSE TAKE

The theatrical bet is Tamil; streaming does the breadth work. Scene is best placed — the week’s only wide North American theatrical push from a South Indian star, a director with a proven comic-crime touch, and advances past ₹9 crore worldwide. Mookuthi Amman 2 is the family counterweight. The streaming split is the honest story of diaspora viewing in 2026: Netflix and ZEE5 travel with you, while JioHotstar and SonyLIV still stop at the border — check the service, not just the title.

Next week: Jailer 2 arrives on Prime Video in the US and Canada on November 12 — details here.
