Razakar Takes OTT by Storm, Clocks Impressive Views

Anasuya Bharadwaj's period drama Razakar has taken the OTT platform by storm, topping the charts on Aha since its release on January 24, 2025. Despite failing to impress at the box office, the film has clocked over 30 million streaming minutes, trending in the number one spot on Aha's top ten list. The social drama, directed by Yata Satyanarayana, explores the Razakar rule and its oppression of common people in Hyderabad during the Nizam era.

The film's OTT success can be attributed to the lack of major releases during the Sankranthi season, which created a void that Razakar filled. The makers' strategic promotion ahead of its OTT debut also helped the film gain momentum on the platform. Anasuya Bharadwaj's powerful performance has been widely praised, with clips of her heartfelt acting being shared on social media.

Razakar's OTT release has been a blessing in disguise for the makers, who had initially struggled to secure a digital partner. Aha acquired the digital rights for a significant price, making the film available for streaming. The film's success on OTT has put the makers in a financially safe position, and it will be interesting to see what kind of numbers Razakar achieves in the coming days.

With its impressive views and top spot on Aha's charts, Razakar has proven that OTT platforms can be a game-changer for films that may not have performed well in theaters. As the film continues to trend on OTT, fans are eager to see what's next for Anasuya Bharadwaj and the rest of the cast.
