Following a lackluster performance at the box office in Tollywood, Vijay Deverakonda’s most recent film, The Family Star, is now available on OTT platforms. Due to the fact that this is the second time that Vijay Deverakonda and Parasuram have collaborated, following the success of Geetha Govindam, the film The Family Star was released a month ago, and it was met with an overwhelming amount of anticipation. On the other hand, the film’s box office prospects were negatively impacted by the unfavorable word of mouth and the terrible reviews. The reason that a lot of people were eager to watch the movie on OTT was precisely because of this.
Family Star OTT Release Date
Family Star is set to premiere on Prime Video on 26 April 2024.
The original version of “The Family Star” will be available to stream in Telugu and Tamil in India as well as in over 240 countries and territories, according to Prime Video. This will be followed by dubs in Malayalam and Kannada.
Deverakonda, who is well known for his part in the film “Arjun Reddy,” portrays the character of Govardhan, a devoted family man who has aspirations of achieving greatness but is also responsible for fulfilling the obligations of providing for an extended joint family.
The most recent information is that the well-known OTT platform Amazon Prime Video has stated that the Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam versions of “The Family Star” would begin streaming on Friday, April 26, 2024.
The movie did not succeed in impressing audiences during its run in theaters, and it is now unknown how audiences will react to the family drama when it is released on OTT platforms.
When and Where to Watch Family Star
You can watch this family drama on 26 April 2024, on Prime Video.
“Family Star” was supposed to make its debut during the Sankranthi festival; however, the premiere was postponed in order to avoid conflicting with other significant releases that were scheduled to take place at the same time. Following its initial release, the picture was met with a majority of negative reviews from critics.
They singled out a number of flaws in the directing and scriptwriting of Parasuram, including criticizing the second half of the film, the ineffectiveness of the comedy, the storyline, the soundtrack, and the performances of the lead actors.
At the box office, ‘Family Star’ did not perform well financially, collecting only ₹35 crore. This amount was less than the ₹50 crore budget that was allocated for the film, which resulted in the film being a commercial failure. Following a theatrical run of only twenty days, “Family Star” is now getting ready to be released on over-the-top platforms.
Family Star Movie Story
The plot of The Family Star revolves around Govardhan (Vijay Deverakonda), a dedicated family man who aspires to greatness while also supporting an extended family. One day, his life takes a lovely change when a charming new tenant, Indu (Mrunal Thakur), moves into his home and life.
As flames rise between Govardhan and Indu, resulting in an unexpected love story, they are forced to manage the numerous situations, people, and concerns that continue to complicate their relationship. When a shocking revelation about Indu threatens to rip them apart, fate provides them with an opportunity to work together and overcome not just her past, but also a sequence of unexpected events.
Cast and crew of Family Star
The cast of the family drama includes Vijay Deverakonda, Mrunal Thakur, Rohini Hattangadi, Raja Chembolu, Divyansha Kaushik, Jagapathi Babu, Ravi Babu, and Ajay Ghosh.
The film is produced by Dil Raju and Sirish under the production company Sri Venkateswara Creations. Gopi Sundar is in charge of the music. KU Mohanan was responsible for the cinematography, while Marthand K Venkatesh took charge of editing the picture.
Family audiences hold Sri Venkateshwara Creation Banner in high regard due to their consistent production of films that are suitable for viewing in theaters with the entire family without any reservations. Furthermore, producer ‘Dil’ Raju is renowned for his ability to produce films with profitable outcomes and timely releases despite operating with limited financial resources.
The principal shooting locations for this film are Hyderabad and a few additional towns in Telangana. Sri Venkateshwara Creations has once again demonstrated that it is possible to produce a film within a specified timeframe and on a limited budget, as opposed to unduly delaying production with excessively large budgets.
The career of actor Vijay Devarakonda is undergoing a difficult time. His three most recent films in which he starred received a dismal reception in theaters and from the audience. Two consecutive failures have befallen him, namely “World Famous Lover” and “Liger.” His final film, “Kushi,” was met with acclaim that was ambivalent and was unable to recoup its entire budget.
However, this film also features the skilled Mrunal Thakur, whose portrayal of Sita, also known as Princess Noor Jahan, from the film “Sita Ramam,” in addition to Dulquer Salmaan, captivated the Telugu audience. “Family Star” is among the exceptional proposals that she has been securing in Telugu.
