Greater Kalesh OTT release date: Here's when and where you can stream Ahsaas Channa's Diwali special

The new special Greater Kalesh will premiere on Netflix India on October 17, 2025, according to the streaming service's official announcement. Ritu Mago wrote the script, and Aditya Chandiok directed the special, which is a joint venture with TTT Production.

Theme of Greater Kalesh

Key promotional art that visually introduces the special's principal family, the Handas, was included with the announcement. Presumably representing the Handa family, the first-look poster showcases the leading actors Ahsaas Channa, Vijay Subramaniam, Anuj Gosalia, and Sharanya Rajgopal. The vivid and bright environment, fitting for a traditional Indian festival, serves to accentuate the special's Diwali theme. "Meet Twinkle Handa ki family. Kya inki Diwali hogi happy-wali? Watch Greater Kalesh, a Netflix special, out 17 October, only on Netflix," reads the caption.

It seems like Greater Kalesh is exploring the intricacies of a modern Indian family. Kalesh (meaning "strife" or "quarrel") is used in the title, which implies that the plot would go beyond the intricacies, silly anecdotes, and possible disputes that crop up during family get-togethers, particularly during stressful festive seasons like Diwali. We don't know much about the plot, but it involves comic misunderstandings and domestic drama.

Cast and lead role

The initial announcement indicated that Channa, known for her work in web series and films, is likely to play the lead role of Twinkle Handa. Featuring Sharanya Rajgopal and well-known figures in the digital content industry like Vijay Subramaniam and Anuj Gosalia, the title promises an eclectic cast with an emphasis on contemporary Indian characters and family dynamics that are relatable and will appeal to a wide audience.

The script by Ritu Mago, directed by Aditya Chandiok, is expected to offer a new take on family stories by combining humorous moments with thought-provoking commentary on contemporary Indian society and the pressures that come with celebrating traditional holidays.

Strategic Diwali release

Midway through October is a smart release window for Greater Kalesh because it puts it just before the main Diwali celebrations, which take place later in the month. Families are getting ready for their own celebrations, and this time it is meant to boost viewership by capitalising on the pre-festive vibe that is widespread across India. Many people are talking about the announcement online; the hashtag #GreaterKaleshOnNetflix is trending, which means that people are very much looking forward to watching the special.
