'Bro': Pawan Kalyan-Sai Dharam Tej's supernatural film locks OTT date
What's the story
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.
Context
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.
