Parakramam is the most recent Telugu film that has been directed, produced, and starred in by Bandi Saroj Kumar. Released in theaters on August 23, 2024, this social drama did not achieve significant success at the box office. Nevertheless, in spite of its financial shortcomings, the film garnered positive reviews for its distinctive narrative and profound emotional resonance.

Parakramam locks a new OTT platform

Aha has acquired the digital rights to Parakramam for a considerable sum and premiered the film on September 14, 2024. In a noteworthy turn of events, ETV Win has also obtained the digital rights to the film at a significantly reduced price and is set to begin streaming it on March 13, 2025. This development reflects the growing recognition and value of Parakramam following its release on OTT platforms.

Bandi Saroj Kumar frequently attracts media attention, and his films often create considerable excitement. His projects typically feature compelling concepts; however, they frequently falter in their execution. Parakramam experienced a similar fate, as the storyline held great promise and was rich in emotional depth, yet the second half diminished its impact, culminating in a disappointing conclusion.

Bandi Saroj Kumar acts, produces, and directs Parakramam

Bandi Saroj Kumar had previously gained attention with Mangalyan, a film that bypassed a theatrical release and debuted directly on OTT. Ace cinematographer Venkat R. Prasad, renowned for his work in films like Pournami and 100% Love, handled the cinematography for Parakramam. The film, based on real-life incidents related to gully cricket, also featured well-known classical dancer Sruthi Samanvi as the female lead, alongside Naga Lakshmi.

Due to its limited theatrical release, Parakramam didn’t get a wide audience initially. However, Saroj Kumar’s sincere performance, along with the film’s social message, kept it relevant. One of the unique aspects of the movie is how the director himself portrays multiple characters to highlight societal issues. This experimental approach was appreciated by viewers.

On Aha, Parakramam gained significant popularity, remaining in the top ten rankings for almost two weeks. As it prepares to debut on ETV Win, it will be intriguing to observe the audience's response on this new platform. Please stay tuned for additional updates.
