The skies have turned grey in the Telugu states, the air has grown chilly, and raindrops have been pitter-pattering on the streets for the last few days: it is officially couch potato weather. There’s no better way to enjoy this weather than by snuggling in with some good food and a binge-worthy watch. Luckily, the Telugu releases coming up on OTT this week are promising, with exciting titles on the list. Check out these 5 latest OTT releases for a good time:
Mr Bachchan is the Telugu remake of Ajay Devgn’s 2018 Hindi film “Raid,” directed by Rajkumar Gupta. It’s inspired by the real-life income tax raid on Indian industrialist Sardar Inder Singh.
Ravi Teja stars as Anand, aka Mr Bachchan, a dedicated Income Tax officer known for exposing black money and bringing down the corrupt. The story revolves around his battle with local politician MP Jaggayya, who’s out for revenge after Bachchan’s raid humiliates his family. As Jaggayya hunts him down, Anand and his team execute a high-stakes raid on Jaggayya’s own residence.
The film delves into how Anand earned the nickname “Mr Bachchan,” his challenges with raids, and the events that led to his suspension.
