Less than a month after its theatrical debut, Harish Shankar’s Mr. Bachchan, starring Ravi Teja and Bhagyashri Borse, made its way onto OTT. As of September 12, the movie, which debuted in theatres on August 15, is available to view on Netflix.
Mr Bachchan OTT release
Similar to Double iSmart, which debuted on August 15 and was available on Prime Video in less than 21 days, Mr. Bachchan was quietly published on Netflix. The Netflix team, together with the film’s cast and crew, did not publicise the movie’s arrival on the streaming service. After a 4-week theatrical run—which is regarded as a respectable theatrical window preceding digital releases—the picture was officially released on OTT.
Lukewarm response to Raid remake
A remake of the 2018 Hindi film Raid is called Mr. Bachchan. Even though Harish is renowned for giving critically praised films a commercial spin, his attempt to make a picture with few takers faltered. During its theatrical run, the movie brought in ₹14.19 crore worldwide, according to Sacnilk.com.
About Mr Bachchan
The film follows the tale of an upright Income Tax officer who goes up against Jagapathi Babu, a formidable politician. Although the original was a huge hit, both reviewers and viewers disapproved of the commercial approach taken in the remake. In the movie, Ravi portrayed Indukuri Anand, also known as Mr. Bachchan, while Bhagyashri portrayed Jikki, his romantic interest. Jagapathi Babu played Mutyam Jaggaiah, the MP who is the adversary.
