23 Movie Now Streaming On Amazon Prime

Director Raj Rachakonda, known for Mallesham, returns with 23, a Telugu film based on the 1991 Chilakaluripeta bus burning incident. Released in theatres on May 16 with a fresh cast, it went largely unnoticed. Now, without much noise, the film is streaming on Amazon Prime for overseas audiences and will soon be available in India.

The story follows Sagar (Teja), a village youth who dreams of owning an idli cart but is denied a loan. He falls for Susheela (Tanmayi), a tobacco worker, who becomes pregnant. In desperation, Sagar and his friend plan to rob a bus. The plan goes tragically wrong, resulting in the death of 23 people. The rest of the film explores the legal aftermath.

The film also touches on the 1991 Chundur massacre and the 1997 Jubilee Hills car bomb case, raising questions about justice and accountability.
