Hyderabad: The Telugu psychological drama Psych Siddhartha is set to make its OTT debut on AhaVideo from February 4. After a limited theatrical run, the film is now aiming to reach a wider audience through digital streaming.
Released in cinemas on January 1, Psych Siddhartha falls into the psychological and romantic drama genre. The story follows Siddhartha, a young man dealing with inner struggles, emotional confusion, and unexpected life situations. The film explores the human mind, relationships, and personal trauma in a subtle yet engaging manner.
The movie received mixed responses from audiences and critics. While some appreciated its concept, performances, and experimental storytelling, others felt the pacing was slow and the narrative appealed to a niche audience. Despite the mixed word of mouth, the film gained attention for attempting a different style of storytelling compared to regular commercial films.
In terms of box office performance, Psych Siddhartha had a modest run. According to trade estimates, the film collected around ₹0.7 crore in India during its entire theatrical run. The movie did not see significant overseas earnings and remained a low-budget, low-collection release. Industry observers believe limited promotions and niche appeal affected its box office numbers.
With its OTT release, the makers hope the film will find better appreciation among home viewers, especially fans of psychological and offbeat cinema. OTT platforms often give such films a second life, allowing audiences to connect with the story at their own pace.
AhaVideo continues to expand its content library with unique and experimental films, and Psych Siddhartha adds to its growing list of thrillers and dramas. The film will be available for streaming from February 4, making it a good choice for viewers looking for a thoughtful and intense movie experience.
The OTT release could help Psych Siddhartha gain renewed interest and reach audiences who missed it in theatres.
