Chaar Yaar arrives on Amazon Prime Video on Friday, October 23, with all eight episodes available to stream the moment it goes live. No specific launch time has been given beyond the date itself.
The show follows four middle-class friends, played by Purav Jha, Naman Jain, Saqib Ayub and Prayrak Mehta, whose lives unravel after one bad decision drags them into a Mumbai gang war. It's a period piece, set in the early 2000s, and pits the group against mobsters and local law enforcement as they try to stay alive and stay friends. Anyone who's worked through Tulsa King, Breaking Bad or Tokyo Vice is the obvious target audience.
Because the full season releases in one go, there's no weekly wait. Binge it over a weekend or spread it out, the choice is entirely on the viewer's end since Prime Video doesn't gate episodes behind a drip schedule here.
Where to watch
Country | Channel or service | Free or paid --- | --- | --- United States | Prime Video | Paid (30-day free trial for new subscribers) United Kingdom | Prime Video | Paid (30-day free trial for new subscribers) Canada | Prime Video | Paid, CA$9.99/month or CA$99/year (30-day free trial for new subscribers) Australia | Prime Video | Paid (30-day free trial for new subscribers)
Prime Video says it's available in more than 200 countries, so the service should be reachable well beyond these four markets, though pricing and trial terms can vary by region.
Free options
There's no ad-supported or free-with-ads tier for Chaar Yaar on the table. The only no-cost route is Prime Video's 30-day free trial, open to anyone who hasn't held a subscription before. Sign up, watch all eight episodes inside that window, and cancel before the trial ends if you don't want to keep paying afterward. Existing Prime members, obviously, already have access with no extra charge.
What to expect
Eight episodes, all dropping simultaneously, built around a single season arc rather than an anthology format. The setting, early-2000s Mumbai, puts it in the same lane as other period-set crime dramas that lean on local gang politics and corrupt policing rather than a single antagonist. With four leads carrying the show and a gang war as the backdrop, the pitch is close to a Hindi-language take on the kind of slow-burn crime drama that's done well for streamers elsewhere.
No second season has been mentioned anywhere in the announcement, and Prime Video hasn't said anything about a dub or alternate-language track beyond the original Hindi. For now, the only confirmed date is October 23, with the complete season sitting on the service from day one.
