Bastar The Naxal Story was released on March 15, 2024. The film captivated audiences with its gripping storyline and intense performances. The political thriller delves into the heart of one of India’s most pressing issues — the Naxal insurgency. But for those who prefer streaming over the big screen, the question arises: where can they catch this latest release once it completes its theatrical run?
Where will Bastar The Naxal Story stream?
Bastar The Naxal Story reunited the team behind The Kerala Story, i.e. Vipul Amrutlal Shah, Sudipto Sen, and Adah Sharma. Fans are curious to know about the film’s OTT release details.
According to recent reports, Bastar The Naxal Story will be released on ZEE5. Like its predecessor, The Kerala Story, the film will soon find its way onto the streaming platform. As for the OTT release date, it hinges on the movie’s box office performance. If the film does well, fans can expect a release approximately 45 days after its theatrical debut. However, if that’s not the case, then Adah Sharma’s movie will be available to stream sooner than expected.
Amidst the enthusiasm surrounding the film, controversy reared its head. Particularly concerning Adah Sharma’s portrayal and a scene mentioning JNU sparked outrage among certain sections. Moreover, it resulted in protests and accusations of spreading dangerous propaganda.
The students wrote, “We demand immediate action against Sudipto Sen, Adah Sharma, and Vipul Amrutlal Shah for the open call for genocide of JNU students. Such a step to mislead people is a criminal act. All legal steps will be taken, and we appeal to our alumni and V-C to take urgent action.”
In response to the criticism, Adah Sharma stood her ground and emphasized the authenticity of her character’s frustrations.
In conclusion, with the film’s release, viewers will get to decide what to make of the film, be it via theatrical experience or an OTT one.
