Mercy has now come to digital shops in India, after showing in cinemas; this gives fans of science fiction and thrillers the opportunity to see Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson in a very worried, close-to-our-time drama. The movie went from cinemas to being available for money on digital, and people in India can now hire and watch it – with versions in local languages.
When did Mercy come to digital services in India?
The film first appeared in cinemas on January 23, 2026, and finished its time in cinemas before going to digital. In India, Mercy could be hired from February 17 – not long after it first became available for a lot of money on video-on-demand in other countries. This quick move from cinemas to digital shows how the amount of time a high-profile film is in cinemas is getting smaller. People who missed it in the cinema now have a clear way of watching it at home, by hiring it from digital services.
Where to hire Mercy in India
Mercy is on the main digital shops in India which offer premium video-on-demand. People hiring can get to the film through well-used streaming apps and device shops which sell or hire new films. Look at your favourite digital shop or streaming app to see if it is available, how much it costs, and what video quality is on offer. The rules of hiring change depending on the service, so be sure how long you have to start and finish watching once you have hired the film.
Languages and help for watching
To reach a bigger Indian audience, Mercy has versions with voices in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam. Subtitles are also available in a number of languages, to suit different people who are watching. You can choose audio and subtitle options on the playing menu on most devices. If you depend on captions, be sure that subtitles are available in the language you want, before you hire the film.
What Mercy is about
Directed by Timur Bekmambetov, Mercy is a science fiction thriller which happens in real time, in a Los Angeles which is not far from our own time, where artificial intelligence controls the law courts. Chris Pratt is LAPD Detective Chris Raven, who is in a life-or-death trial after being accused of killing his wife. Rebecca Ferguson lends her voice to the advanced AI judge who is in charge of the case, looking at proof in real time. Raven has just 90 minutes to show he is not guilty, while being held physically, and the film happens like a study which is driven by a countdown. As Raven looks through camera pictures and digital records, what at first looks like a simple case goes into discoveries of being unfaithful and a wider plan. The small place and constant speed keep worry high as the detective races against time.
When it might be on subscription streaming, and tips for viewers
After the time when it can be hired for money, Mercy is expected to go to a main subscription streaming service, as part of the usual way films are spread. Judging by how films are released now, this could be in early April 2026 – about 45 to 60 days after it first came to cinemas. If you plan to watch on hire, look for high-definition or 4K options to get the best pictures. Be sure that your device can use the format you choose, and check whether the hire includes more than one language version or a spoken explanation. For families, look at what the film is allowed to show, before watching. Mercy mixes law drama and science fiction thrills, and being available on digital services in India makes it easy for people who like this sort of film to see the strong, time-limited story. Hire the film if you want to watch it at once, or wait for the subscription time if you would rather watch it as part of a streaming collection.
