The Brown Heart OTT Release Date: Heart attacks are no longer a health issue only for the elderly. In fact, in recent years, more and more young Indians in their 30s and 40s are losing their lives to sudden heart failure. It¡¯s a silent emergency that¡¯s hitting Indian families hard, not just in India but across the world.

That¡¯s exactly what The Brown Heart, a powerful new documentary, is here to highlight. Releasing on JioHotstar on May 3, this film aims to save lives. It is backed by the Joshi Health Foundation and supported by well-known philanthropists like Hersha & Hasu Shah and Madhavi & Ramesh Bathini.

What is The Brown Heart all about?

The Brown Heart is a real, emotional, and eye-opening documentary-drama created by US-based Indian doctors Dr. Nirmal Joshi and Dr. Renu Joshi, who have over 70 years of combined medical experience. The documentary explores the rising trend of early, severe, and often fatal heart attacks among Indians, especially men who otherwise seem healthy and active.

The film travels through India, the United States, and the UK, collecting honest personal stories from survivors, families who lost their loved ones, and insights from over 40 top heart specialists. It also brings in familiar names from the world of entertainment, who speak openly about health, stress, and how we can do better.
