'Bro': Pawan Kalyan-Sai Dharam Tej's supernatural film locks OTT date
South sensation Pawan Kalyan made a striking impact with his latest outing, Bro, which opened in theaters on July 28. Helmed by Samuthirakani and co-starring Sai Dharam Tej, this Telugu supernatural fantasy comedy film faced the unfortunate fate of piracy within hours of release. Despite this setback, Bro achieved impressive numbers at the box office and has now locked its digital release date.
Why does this story matter?
A direct adaptation of the 2021 Tamil film Vinodhaya Sitham—which featured Thambi Ramaiah and Samuthirakani—when Bro made its debut in theaters, it received negative and mediocre reviews from critics. However, despite the critical reception, the film managed to achieve an impressive feat by crossing the Rs. 50 crore mark at the domestic box office within just three days of its release.
When and where to watch 'Bro'
For people who couldn't catch the movie in theaters and those who want to rewatch this supernatural comedy-drama film, Bro will premiere on Netflix on Friday (August 25), confirmed the streamer. Backed by TG Vishwa Prasad and Vivek Kuchibhotla of People Media Factory and Zee Studios, the film will be available for streaming in multiple languages, including Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi.
