Starting today, September 14, 2025, the Indian audience can watch the 2025 psychological thriller Opus on JioHotstar (OTTplay Premium). Ayo Edebiri plays Ariel Ecton, a young journalist brought to the secluded compound of Alfred Moretti (John Malkovich), a renowned pop musician who vanished in a mysterious fashion thirty years ago. Mark Anthony Green, making his feature directorial debut, wrote and directed the film. Surrounded by the star's cult of sycophants and drunken journalists, Ariel finds herself enmeshed in his sick scheme.
Media manipulation and celebrity culture
Topics explored in Opus include media manipulation and the cult of celebrity. In her pursuit of fame, Ariel Ecton pays a visit to an exclusive event held at the remote estate of Moretti. She learns disturbing details about Moretti's plans and the seedy dynamics among his guests as the night progresses. The film explores the blurred boundaries between adoration and exploitation in the realm of fame.
Opus was a hit with audiences at the Sundance Film Festival on January 27, 2025, thanks to its bold story and stellar acting. The critical reception, though, has been uneven. Critics met the film's examination of celebrity culture with mixed reviews, most of which were negative.
Box office performance and theatrical release
Opus made its limited theatre debut in the US on March 14, 2025. Considering the film's $10 million budget, its disappointing global earnings of around $2.2 million were below projections. Other big releases around the same time eclipsed its performance.
Streaming of Opus on JioHotstar (OTTplay Premium) is now available for viewers in India. Viewers interested in psychological thrillers will find the film's examination of the shadowy sides of celebrity and media to be an engaging and thought-provoking experience.
Opus offers a fresh take on the intricacies and effects of celebrity society, albeit the negative reviews it has received.
