Kabzaa, the gangster drama, has made its OTT debut today.

The movie was released in 5 languages, including Kannada, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam.

Kabzaa was released in theaters on March 17, 2023, and got mixed reviews from the critics and audience as well. The movie got a severe backlash from the audience as they felt very disappointed with the below par content in the film.

Kabzaa takes place in the pre partition India and follows the protagonist’s voyage of revenge through a landscape full of gangsters. The movie tells the story of a simple man, who because of circumstances, turns into the most feared gangster in the country in the years that follow. Arkeshwara (Upendra), the youngest son of a murdered freedom fighter, who also loses his older brother to violence. The Family losses unleash a menacing rage in him, as he embarks on an outburst of revenge, finally making him the feared and undisputed king of the underworld.

The film also starred Shriya Saran, Murali Sharma, Suneel Puranik, Sudha, B Suresha, Posani Murali Krishna, Nawab Shah, Danish Akthar Saifi, John Kokken, Anup Revana, among others. Kabzaa has its music composed by Ravi Basrur and cinematography by AJ Shetty.

The film also included two cameos from Kiccha Sudeep and Shivarajkumar, who are supposed to lead the charge if the second part of Kabzaa 2 happens. Though the director gave a hint of a sequel at the end of the film, looking at the box office result, Kabzaa 2 might not make it to the sets.
