Gopichand’s latest movie ‘Bhimaa‘ was directed by Kannada director Harsha and produced by K.K. Radhamohan. This high-octane mass action entertainer, spiced up with semi-fantasy elements, was released on March 8th, coinciding with Shivaratri, and received mixed reviews on its debut. Despite high expectations, ‘Bhimaa’ failed to make a significant impact at the box office, prompting the makers to quickly move it to OTT. Recent updates suggest that the movie’s OTT partner and release date have been finalized.
Streaming Date Confirmed?
It appears that ‘Bhimaa’s streaming rights have been secured by the leading OTT platform Disney+Hotstar, with plans to release the film on April 5th. An official announcement regarding this is expected in the next few days. This move to release ‘Bhimaa’ on OTT just a month after its theatrical debut is noteworthy. Originally, the film was slated for OTT release 45 days post-theatrical launch. However, due to the lukewarm reception at the box office, ‘Bhimaa’ is making its OTT entry earlier than planned.
What’s the Story of ‘Bhimaa’?
The story unfolds in Mahendragiri, where the notorious Bhawani’s gang (Mukesh Tiwari) wreaks havoc, even eliminating any police who interfere. Into this lawless area comes Bhimaa (Gopichand) as the new SI, determined to dismantle Bhawani’s operations. He starts by intercepting tankers being smuggled out of the forest by the gang. What actions does Bhawani take in response? What secrets do these tankers hold? Who is the powerful figure orchestrating from behind Bhawani? And is there a connection between the closure of Parashurama Kshetram and this gang? The narrative explores these questions.
