Janaka Aithe Ganaka, a family drama starring Suhas, released on October 12, 2024, as a Dussehra special, but failed to impress audiences and critics. Despite being produced by renowned producer Dil Raju, the film received lukewarm reviews and underperformed at the box office. Its brief theatrical run of just four days underscored Suhas' struggle to establish himself as a bankable star in theaters.
In contrast, Suhas has consistently demonstrated his strength on OTT platforms. His previous films may not have generated significant box office revenue, but they have performed well online. This trend is expected to continue with Janaka Aithe Ganaka's digital release.
Aha has acquired the digital rights to Janaka Aithe Ganaka and will stream the film from November 8, 2024. The platform announced the release date with a stylish new poster. This OTT deal has allowed Dil Raju to recoup some costs, as Aha reportedly acquired the rights for a fixed price.
Janaka Aithe Ganaka's unique storyline, revolving around a middle-class man's legal battle against a condom company, failed to resonate with theatergoers. However, the film's digital release may attract a larger audience interested in offbeat narratives. With its November 8 release on Aha, viewers can now assess the film's merits and shortcomings.
