OTT release seemed to be biggest ray of hope for small to medium range films in the time of lockdown due to corona pandemic. Filmmakers of all range of films that were ready for release witnessed immense pressure got some relief when OTT players initially offered exorbitant prices.
Unfortunately, most of the films released amid the lockdown failed utterly to impress audience. Jyothika’s Ponmagal Vandhal was released last week with huge expectations. But, the crime thriller ended up as a big disappointment.
Today, Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana starrer Gulabo Sitabo was released amid sky high expectations, given director Shoojit Sircar delivered super hits with both the stars. Moreover, promotional content of the film received positive response. However, the film got mixed response, due to sluggish narration.
Now, all eyes are on Keerthy Suresh’s film Penguin that will have premiere on Prime Video on 19th of this month. The film’s teaser as well as trailer received enthusiastic reports. Especially, trailer was hailed for the technical brilliance and engaging narration. The trailer within 24 hours got 8.47 Million views and became third fastest Tollywood trailer. The question is will this film at least impress movie buffs and bring hopes to films which are ready for release on OTT.
