The movie Viswam, directed by Srinu Vaitla and starring Tollywood actor Gopichand, was released in theaters on October 11, 2024, during the Dussehra festival. It received positive reviews, particularly praising the combination of Srinu Vaitla's signature comedy style and Gopichand’s action-packed performance. Despite some criticism labeling the film as routine, Viswam managed to perform well at the box office due to the holiday season and favorable word-of-mouth reviews.
Viswam was produced by Venu Donepudi and TG Vishwa Prasad under the banners of Chitralahari Studios and People Media Factory. The film features Kavya Thapar as the female lead and boasts a strong supporting cast, including Jishu Sengupta, Prakash Raj, Naresh, and Sunil. The music, composed by Chaitan Bharadwaj, also contributed to the film’s overall appeal, with its energetic background score enhancing the movie's action sequences.
As the film continues to do well in theaters, attention has shifted to its OTT release. The digital streaming rights for Viswam have been acquired by Amazon Prime Video for a substantial amount of ₹12 crores. According to multiple sources, Viswam is set to stream on Amazon Prime Video on October 29, 2024, aligning with the Diwali celebrations. However, if there is any delay, the movie might be released a few days later, by November 3, 2024
This OTT release is highly anticipated as it allows a wider audience to access the movie, particularly those who may have missed it in theaters. The film's combination of action, comedy, and family-friendly entertainment makes it an attractive option for festive streaming. The digital release is expected to continue the momentum Viswam has gained from its theatrical success, further cementing Gopichand’s position as a bankable star in Tollywood.
For those interested in watching Viswam on OTT, Amazon Prime Video is the platform to look out for, with the potential release date falling between late October and early November.
