Ravi Teja, a prominent figure in the Telugu film industry, has recently made waves with his latest movie, “Tiger Nageswara Rao”. Released amidst high expectations as a Dussehra special on October 19th, the film quickly gained positive buzz. This biopic marks Ravi Teja’s first foray into the pan-Indian market, enhancing his already impressive filmography.

The movie, now streaming on major OTT platform Amazon Prime, made a surprise release in the early hours of a Friday, much earlier than anticipated. Initially scheduled for release on the 27th, the film is available in Telugu, along with dubbed versions in Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada.

“Tiger Nageswara Rao” is a cinematic exploration of the life of the notorious bandit from Stuartpuram who shook the Telugu states in the 1970s and 80s. Directed by Vamshi, the film brings to life this thrilling chapter of history.

Despite the film’s significant pre-release business, it faced mixed reactions initially, leading to a reduction in its length by 20 minutes. While the movie resonated well with some audiences, it fell short in certain aspects, particularly in its storytelling and lack of the expected entertainment and mass elements that are typically associated with Ravi Teja’s movies. This resulted in the film being labeled a commercial failure in languages other than Telugu.

Nupur Sanon and Gayatri Bhardwaj played the lead female roles, while Anupam Kher and Renu Desai delivered stellar performances in crucial roles. Produced by Abhishek Agarwal with a substantial budget, the film was set to make a significant impact. However, it only managed moderate collections in the Telugu market and did not perform as expected in other languages.

Ravi Teja’s performance in “Tiger Nageswara Rao” is noteworthy as it marks a significant step in his career. The film’s early release on OTT platforms, without prior announcements, was a strategic move, allowing audiences across different regions to access the movie conveniently. The film’s availability in multiple languages on Amazon Prime further broadens its reach, ensuring that a wider audience can enjoy this intriguing tale.
