Baapu OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Brahmaji and Aamani¡¯s satirical Telugu comedy-drama online
Brahmaji and Aamani recently starred together in a satirical comedy-drama Baapu which is ready to drop on OTT within a month. Here¡¯s all you need to know about the Telugu film before it starts streaming.
Telugu cinema has always had a knack for blending humor with social commentary, and Baapu is the latest to take that route. After its theatrical release on February 21, 2025, this rural satire is now making a swift jump to the digital space. If you missed it on the big screen, don¡¯t worry, Baapu is all set to stream on Jio Hotstar from March 7, 2025.
Despite its heartfelt storytelling and strong performances, Baapu had a tough time at the box office, struggling to gain traction amidst bigger commercial releases. However, not all great films find their audience in theatres, some shine brighter on OTT! With its relatable themes and dark humor, Baapu now has a second chance to win over viewers in the comfort of their homes.
What¡¯s Baapu all about?
Directed by Daya, Baapu takes us into the lives of a rural farming family facing an unthinkable dilemma that forces them to make an impossible sacrifice. But rather than weaving the narrative in melodrama, the film uses humor to highlight harsh realities, making it a unique blend of satire and emotion. It¡¯s a touching take on socio-economic struggles, with laughter easing the weight of its serious themes.
Veteran actor Brahmaji steps into the lead role, delivering an emotionally charged performance. Alongside him, Aamani, Dhanya Balakrishna, Sudhakar Reddy Kethiri, and Srinivas Avasarala play a key part. Baapu is produced by Raju and CH. Bhanu Prasad Reddy under the banners of Comrade Film Factory and Atheera Productions. This RR Dhruvan musical is cinematographed by Vasu Pendem, edited by Aalayam Anil and production design by Sripal Macharla.
Will Baapu shine on OTT?
Telugu audiences have embraced rural dramas like Balagam in recent times, proving that heartfelt storytelling has a strong following. Despite Baapu¡¯s lukewarm theatrical run, its digital release offers a fresh opportunity for viewers to appreciate its message and performances. Mark your calendars as Baapu is coming to your screens soon and don¡¯t forget to review it @indiatimes.
