Actor Nara Rohith’s family entertainer Sundarakanda, which was directed by Venkatesh Nimmalapudi and has Sridevi Vijaykumar and Vriti Vaghani in the lead female role, hit the theatres on August 27. It was well-received by critics, who appreciated it as a clean and wholesome family drama. Heavy rains in the Telugu states at the time of its release hurt its theatrical run, restricting its box-office potential.
Now, with its digital release on Jio Hotstar, the movie is getting a second chance. Viewers are welcoming the light-hearted entertainer, particularly praising Satya comedy, which has turned into a social media buzzword. The response online has been extremely positive, with users terming it a super hit on OTT.
For Nara Rohith, last seen in the action drama Bhairavam with Bellamkonda Srinivas and Manchu Manoj, this film introduces him as a different actor as part of a light-hearted, family-oriented story. The good digital reception has also provided him with clarity about the roles and genres that audiences would like to see him doing in the future.
Sundarakanda again proves that although a film may struggle in the theatres, good material will never fail to impress the audience and work wonders on streaming platforms.
