'Rakshana' OTT release

Payal Rajput's investigative thriller film 'Rakshana', directed and produced by Pranadeep Thakur, will be available for streaming on Aha starting August 1, following its theatrical release on June 7. The film, inspired by true events, features Rajput in the lead role of an IPS officer named Kiran, who seeks justice for her friend amid societal disbelief. Despite a lackluster box office performance, the film's engaging narrative and strong performances are anticipated to attract viewers on OTT. In another release, Dhanush's film 'Raayan' has grossed Rs 87 crore within four days of its July 26 theatrical debut and will be available on Sun Nxt in early September. Additionally, the upcoming film 'Maruti Nagar Subramanyam' will feature Rao Ramesh in the lead role, although details about its plot remain scarce. Both 'Rakshana' and 'Raayan' reflect the audience's growing preference for thrilling narratives in Indian cinema.
