Along with Aha, here’s where you can also stream Bandi Saroj Kumar’s film

Parakramam is the latest Telugu film directed, produced, and acted in by Bandi Saroj Kumar. This social drama hit theaters on August 23, 2024, but failed to make a mark at the box office. However, despite its commercial failure, the film received critical acclaim for its unique storyline and hard-hitting emotional depth.

Parakramam locks a new OTT platform

Aha acquired the digital rights to Parakramam for a significant price and premiered the film on September 14, 2024. Now, in an interesting development, ETV Win has also secured the film’s digital rights for a much lower price and will begin streaming it on March 13, 2025. This shift indicates how much Parakramam has gained recognition and value after its OTT release.

Bandi Saroj Kumar is often in the news, and his films tend to generate buzz. His projects always have a striking concept, but they often fall short in execution. Parakramam followed a similar trajectory, the storyline had immense potential, packed with emotions, but the second half lost its impact, leading to a disappointing climax.

Bandi Saroj Kumar had previously gained attention with Mangalyan, a film that bypassed a theatrical release and debuted directly on OTT. Ace cinematographer Venkat R. Prasad, renowned for his work in films like Pournami and 100% Love, handled the cinematography for Parakramam. The film, based on real-life incidents related to gully cricket, also featured well-known classical dancer Sruthi Samanvi as the female lead, alongside Naga Lakshmi.

Due to its limited theatrical release, Parakramam didn’t get a wide audience initially. However, Saroj Kumar’s sincere performance, along with the film’s social message, kept it relevant. One of the unique aspects of the movie is how the director himself portrays multiple characters to highlight societal issues. This experimental approach was appreciated by viewers.
