Mr. Bacchan, the latest commercial entertainer, came in the combination of Raviteja and Harish Shankar. The film was released amidst positive pre-release hype, as the posters, promos, and songs successfully created the required enthusiasm among audiences and fans of Raviteja. However, when the film was released in theaters worldwide on August 15, 2024, it failed to live up to everyone’s expectations and failed to gather even minimum numbers at the box office.
The makers arranged paid premieres for the film on the night of August 14, 2024, to avoid competition with Ram Pothineni and Puri’s Double Ismart. However, this move resulted in the film getting a disastrous response, and it affected the box office performance on the first day. Mr. Bachchan made its streaming debut exactly four weeks after its theatrical release, and it has been reported that the OTT giant Netflix has paid a good price to the makers to buy the film’s digital rights.
Mr. Bachchan is now available for streaming on Netflix. The film is a remake of the Bollywood superhit Raid. Reviewers and audiences felt that director Harish Shankar made too many changes from the original, which resulted in the film losing its essence and intensity. Bhagyashri Borse made her debut as a lead actress in the film, and her glamorous presentation and expressions won the hearts of many. Let’s wait and watch how the OTT Viers react to Mr. Bachchan.
