In recent years, we have seen that OTT platforms have become a rescue option for filmmakers. It does not matter whether the filmmaker is notable or naive, the OTT platforms have been working as a rescue option for them because if the film fails at the box office, they sell the digital rights to OTT platforms to cover the loss. However, in some cases, the OTT platforms buy the digital rights of the film with the condition of directly releasing the film on OTT. When filmmakers feel their film will not get a good response from the audience upon its theatrical release, they go with the OTT platform. ETV Win is a platform that is popular for offering films made on a low budget that could not secure a theatrical release. Those films are released on ETV Win as original films. Pothugadda is also an ETV Win original film where it will be released directly skipping its theatrical release.
The makers of Pothugadda seem to not be confident with the film’s theatrical release. They could have thought to make it bigger by first releasing it on big screens and then on OTT. However, ETV Win has reportedly won the film’s digital rights at a reasonable price which was enough for the makers. The other reason for the film’s skipping theatrical release is that the buzz of the film remained low and no major conversation about Pothugadda sparked ahead of its release. Therefore, the makers are optimistic that their film will become a topic of the town after its release on OTT. ETV Win is the platform where it will be released. Pothugadda is all set to be released on ETV Win on November 14, 2024.
