September 10: Tug of war between theatres, OTT
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,September 07 2021]
This Friday is going to be special. For the first time ever, there is going to be a tussle between theatres and OTT.
The biggest attraction is coming in the shape of 'Tuck Jagadish'. Directed by Shiva Nirvana and starring Nani, the film has two advantages going for it: It is a family drama (genre advantage), and is a Nani movie. Those with no access to OTT will miss out on its content.
But the non-OTT audiences are looking forward to 'Seetimaarr', one of the biggest theatrical releases of the year. Headlined by Gopichand, the action-masala movie is based on Kabaddi. Directed by Sampath Nandi, it has Tamannaah and Tarun Arora in key roles.
Between the much-awaited OTT release and the huge theatrical release, 'Thalaivii' (theatrical release) and 'NET' (ZEE5 release) will also be attracting their share of audiences. If the former is headlined by Kangana Ranaut, the latter is a tech thriller. 'Thalaivii' is a biopic, while 'NET' is about how Rahul Ramakrishna's character voyeuristically spies on Avika Gor and her boyfriend as a porn addict.
All the above are September 10th releases.
