Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Where to Watch in India
The wait is finally done. If you've been asking where to watch Demon Slayer Infinity Castle in India, mark July 28 on your calendar. Crunchyroll drops the film that already smashed every anime box-office record on the planet, and yes, it lands with Hindi, Tamil and Telugu dubs. Here's the catch a lot of the global coverage is glossing over. Netflix is also streaming Infinity Castle from the same date. Just not for you. Let me break down exactly what Indian fans get, what they don't, and why this movie is such a big deal in the first place.
The Wait Is Over: Crunchyroll Confirms July 28
Announced at Anime Expo 2026, the streaming date is locked. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle I – Akaza Sairai starts streaming on Crunchyroll worldwide (outside Japan and Mainland China) from July 28, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. PT (Anime News Network). That's almost a full year after the film opened in Japanese cinemas on July 18, 2025. Long wait. Worth it. Prefer to own it instead of stream? The film also goes up for digital purchase the same day on Apple TV, Prime Video, Google Play, YouTube and Fandango (Noisy Pixel). And remember, this is only Part 1 of a planned trilogy adapting the Infinity Castle arc, so this is where the final saga kicks off. It also happens to be the film Crunchyroll itself crowned the highest-grossing anime release the world has ever seen (Crunchyroll News).
Where to Watch Demon Slayer Infinity Castle in India: Crunchyroll, Not Netflix
This is the part every Indian fan needs to read twice. Netflix is rolling out Infinity Castle on July 28 too, but only across select Asian markets. India is explicitly carved out of that deal, right alongside Japan and Mainland China (Comicbook). So no, you won't find it on Netflix India. Crunchyroll is your one confirmed streaming home for the film in India from launch day (Sunday Guardian Live). Neither company has explained the reason for India's Netflix exclusion, so treat it as a licensing call and don't waste time hunting for a VPN workaround. One practical note on the Crunchyroll-versus-Netflix split. Even in the Asian markets where Netflix does carry Infinity Castle, it's a day-and-date add to an existing subscription. India doesn't get that lever at all, so your two real routes are a Crunchyroll account to stream it, or a one-time digital purchase on Apple TV, Prime Video and the rest if you'd sooner own it than pay monthly. Go subscription if you'll rewatch and binge the rest of the catalogue; buy it once if you only want this film sitting in your library. Pick the trade-off that fits how you actually watch. The short version: - Stream it: Crunchyroll (India), from July 28 - Buy it: Apple TV, Prime Video, Google Play, YouTube, Fandango - Not an option: Netflix India
Hindi, Tamil and Telugu Dubs: What You'll Actually Hear
Good news for anyone who watches anime with family. Crunchyroll's India release ships with a proper regional dub slate: Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, plus an English dub and the original Japanese audio with subtitles (CBR). Zoom out and it gets wilder. Globally, Crunchyroll is launching the film with dubs in more than 14 languages at once, from Latin American Spanish to Thai to Polish — the same slate those Indian tracks sit inside. It's the widest simultaneous dub launch the franchise has ever put behind a streaming debut. Most Western outlets skip right past the Indian-language tracks. That's exactly why you're reading this here.
Why Infinity Castle Broke Every Box-Office Record Going
Some numbers to explain the hype, in case you somehow missed 2025. Infinity Castle grossed roughly $793–802.6 million worldwide, which makes it the highest-grossing anime film of all time and the biggest Japanese film ever made (Nippon.com). In North America alone it pulled $128.6 million, overtaking Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to top the anime chart there too (Collider). And India? India showed up hard. The film opened in Indian theatres on September 12, 2025, and closed with ₹72.77 crore net over a 56-day run — the highest-grossing anime film in Indian box-office history, a staggering 780% ahead of the previous record-holder, Suzume (Koimoi). It came out swinging too: its day-one net of ₹13 crore beat nearly every 2025 Hollywood opening in India (IMDb). Stack those beats together — a ₹13 crore opening day feeding a ₹72.77 crore close — and you're looking at the kind of holdover legs Bollywood tentpoles rarely manage, let alone a subtitled import. The ripple ran wider than one title, as well. Anime as a category pushed Japan's overall box office up 32% year-on-year in 2025, with Infinity Castle the primary engine behind that surge (Outlook Respawn). Anime isn't a niche here anymore, and these numbers are the receipt.

Quick Story Setup: Where Part 1 Picks Up
No spoilers here, promise. Infinity Castle opens the final arc of the Demon Slayer story, dragging Tanjiro and the Hashira into Muzan's shifting fortress for the last stand fans have been building toward for years. Part 1, Akaza Sairai, sets the board for the trilogy. If you've followed the anime this far, you already know the emotional gut-punches coming. If you're jumping in fresh, catch up on the series first, then treat the July 28 drop as your reunion.
So, Set a Reminder for July 28
Here's the bottom line for Indian fans: Crunchyroll, July 28, Hindi-Tamil-Telugu dubs ready, Netflix out of the picture. Simple as that. The biggest anime film in history is finally coming home to your screen, and this time you don't need a cinema ticket or a VPN — just a Crunchyroll login.
