Sora 2

Sora 2 is OpenAI's cinematic video model — top-tier quality, but India-restricted and with its API being retired in late 2026.

Best for

• Cinematic, film-grade output and physical realism
• Strong prompt adherence and multi-shot consistency
• Native synchronised dialogue and sound effects

How it compares — and the India angle

• NOT officially available in India and the API is sunsetting (Sept 2026) — risky to build on; prefer Veo / Kling.
• No native INR/free path; Indians access only via ChatGPT Plus or third-party resellers.
• For Indian creators, Veo 3.1 and Kling 3.0 are more accessible and longer-lived choices.
