The supernatural thriller 'Jatadhara', which had a disappointing run in cinemas, has now embarked on a new journey in the digital world. The film, featuring Sudheer Babu and Sonakshi Sinha in pivotal roles, is hoping to find a fresh audience and better fortunes with its online premiere.
Where To Watch Jatadhara Online
The film has made its exclusive digital debut on the popular streaming platform, Prime Video. As of now, it is available for streaming only in Telugu, with an online runtime of 2 hours and 8 minutes. There has been no official announcement regarding a Hindi version release on the platform, despite the film's theatrical release in both languages.
Box Office Performance And Film Details
'Jatadhara' failed to make a significant impact at the box office upon its theatrical release. According to data from Sacnilk, the movie managed to collect approximately Rs 7.33 crore globally. Its India net collection stood at around Rs 5.73 crore, figures that were considered underwhelming for a film of its scale and star cast.
Directed by Venkat Kalyan and Abhishek Jaiswal, the film marks the Telugu debut of Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha. She plays the powerful and central role of Dhanapisachi, a demonic entity guarding wealth. Sudheer Babu essays the role of Shiva, a corporate professional and a skeptical ghost hunter who uses technology to debunk supernatural phenomena.
Plot, Cast, And Audience Reception
The plot revolves around Shiva, who is haunted by recurring nightmares of a woman attacking an infant. His journey leads him to the shocking discovery that the infant is his younger self and the assailant is the demoness Dhanapisachi. The film blends corporate life with ancient mythology and supernatural elements.
The supporting cast includes notable names like Divya Khosla Kumar as Sitara, veteran actress Shilpa Shirodkar as Shobha, along with Indira Krishna, Ravi Prakash, and Jhansi in other key roles.
The film received a mixed response from viewers and critics. While many praised the high-quality visuals, Sudheer Babu's intense performance, and Sonakshi Sinha's compelling portrayal of the demoness, a significant criticism was directed towards the film's weak screenplay and narrative execution. The OTT release offers a second chance for audiences to experience this mythological thriller from the comfort of their homes.
