Saree: Ram Gopal Varma's Thriller Eyes OTT Success from June 27

Thriller films have carved a special place in the world of OTT, especially among viewers tired of repetitive plots. With rising demand for intense, dark, and psychological narratives, the Telugu film Saree is gearing up for its digital debut. Though the movie didn’t make a big splash in theatres, there’s growing anticipation that it may find renewed success on streaming platforms.

Varma’s Touch and a New Face Spark Interest

Produced by Ram Gopal Varma—known for his bold, unconventional themes—Saree has been promoted extensively under his supervision. Adding to the buzz is the introduction of a new actress, Aaradhya Devi. Her performance, appearance, and character have particularly resonated with younger audiences. Directed by Girikrishna Kamal, the film hit theatres on April 4 but failed to draw significant attention from the mass audience. However, its OTT release is expected to attract a broader viewership.

A Troubling Tale Behind Kittoo’s Infatuation

The story revolves around a young man named Kittu who goes on a trip with his friends. During the trip, he becomes mesmerized by a girl wearing a saree. Fascinated by her appearance, he begins to fantasize about her. When he finally meets her in person and confesses his feelings, she gently turns him down. Hurt and confused, Kittu’s emotional state begins to shift. The film then dives into psychological territory—was it truly love, or was it an obsession masked as affection? The film explores these complex emotions with suspense till the very end.

Will OTT Bring a Second Chance?

From June 27, Saree will start streaming on Lionsgate Play. Many films that didn’t fare well in cinemas have found a second wind through OTT. Given the current demand for bold thrillers online, Saree has the potential to gain significant attention. With Varma’s signature promotional style, the allure of a new heroine, and a plot that delves into psychological conflict, the film may well captivate the digital audience.
