Five New OTT Releases, But All Feel Like Torture

Like every weekend, the moviegoers waited for new digital releases this week. To their excitement, there were many movies released on OTT this week, including Ajith’s Good Bad Ugly and Nithin’s Robinhood. However, the five new OTT releases felt like a torture for the viewers.

After the rise of the OTT market, the audiences are not going to theatres for all movies. If a movie fails to create some interest or its WOM is not good, audiences are waiting for the film to arrive on OTT to watch. 

Because of this, many films which did not work theatrically got some good response from OTT audiences. Including Ajith’s Good Bad Ugly (Netflix) and Nithin’s Robinhood (ZEE5), this week had major 5 releases on OTT.

Along with the above mentioned movies, Tamannaah’s Odela 2 released on Prime Video, Pradeep’s Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi is available on ETV Win, while Siddhu’s Jack is available on Netflix.

The five new OTT releases felt like a torture for the viewers. All the five films did not do well at telugu box office and ended up as big disasters. But due to good star presence the people waited for the OTT release.

However, after watching them, the viewers felt that not even a single film was engaging. Every film was unbearable to watch, and the films are getting huge backlash after OTT release.

Loyal to Fans, Not the Flag? The Celebrity Debate

The war-like situation (Operation Sindoor) between India and Pakistan during the last few days led to a panic situation among people. But the country stood firm and showed its respect to the Indian Army for their bravery. Amidst this, a debate has started about Bollywood celebrities being loyal to their fans but not to the Indian flag.

Bollywood Stars Face Harsh Criticism: Operation Sindoor

Netizens openly called out the stars who did not even post a single post or opinion about the terrorist attack or the Indian Army’s reply. The silence from Bollywood top stars, especially, shocked everyone. Surprisingly, many producers from Bollywood registered titles after the Operation Sindoor.

So, the audiences, mainly Bollywood audiences, questioned their stars as they chose to remain silent despite having a huge fan base. They are facing very harsh criticism now, as a debate has started about Bollywood celebrities being loyal to their fans but not to the Indian flag.

All About Operation Sindoor

Operation Sindoor is India’s military action in response to the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians. It targeted nine key terrorist locations in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, resulting in the death of over 100 terrorists. 

Key targets included the Lashkar-e-Taiba headquarters in Muridke and the Jaish-e-Mohammed base in Bahawalpur, both known for planning attacks on India. This operation heightened tensions between India and Pakistan, leading to cross-border strikes and retaliations until a ceasefire was agreed upon. 

However, tensions are still high, as Pakistan breached the ceasefire shortly after it began. Indian forces have been ordered to respond decisively to any further violations along the Line of Control and the International Border.

I am glad to see the response for my character, and even happier that the film became a super success.”

Rag Mayur is next seen in director Praveen Kandregula’s third film, Paradha.

So, the roles are giving me an opportunity to try different things and be versatile. Working with top production houses is giving me better insights into filmmaking. I am blessed to get great opportunities to work with wonderful technicians. Conversations with them are bringing a different dimension to my acting,” shares Rag Mayur.
