Bison on Netflix Review:
Bison (or Bison: Kaalamaadan) has landed on Netflix, now streaming in five languages, and it wastes absolutely no time pulling you into its world. Directed by Mari Selvaraj, the film stars Dhruv Vikram in a career-defining role, backed by a powerhouse ensemble — Pasupathy, Ameer, Lal, Anupama Parameswaran, and Rajisha Vijayan.
Right from the opening stretch, it’s clear this isn’t just another sports drama. Selvaraj digs straight into the tension between personal dreams and the harsh social walls that refuse to move. At the center of it all is Dhruv Vikram’s Kittan, a kabaddi player whose journey is packed with grit, frustration, small victories, and the kind of quiet rebellion that hits harder than any loud outburst. Dhruv plays him with a steady burn — no theatrics, no exaggeration, just pure, lived-in emotion.

Selvaraj’s filmmaking is sharp and unflinching. Kabaddi isn’t treated like a flashy set piece here; it’s sweaty, punishing, and deeply symbolic. Every match25/10/Bison.jpg” alt=”” width=”650″ height=”521″ class=”aligncenter size-full wp-image-2895″ />
The supporting cast is equally fierce. Pasupathy brings a raw emotional weight, Ameer and Lal ground their characters with intensity, and Anupama Parameswaran and Rajisha Vijayan give the story its warmth and texture. No one feels underwritten; everyone adds a layer to the world. feels like a clash of identities, not just players. The film’s themes — caste, dignity, ambition — are woven in naturally, without slowing down the momentum.

Visually, Bison is as earthy as it gets. The dust, the sweat, the rough edges of rural life — nothing is polished, and that’s exactly why it works. The kabaddi scenes are brutal in the best way, shot with real heft so you feel every hit.

Even with its heavy themes, the film never drags. It stays focused, emotionally charged, and honest. By the time the final act hits, you’re completely invested — not just in the sport, but in the man fighting for space in a world that keeps trying to shrink him.
If you want a film that feels real, hits hard, and leaves something behind long after it ends, Bison is the one to stream. It’s raw. It’s sincere. And it’s easily one of the strongest dramas to drop on Netflix this season.
