Shambhala clocks record views on OTT
Now, the latest update is that the film has crossed 100 million streaming minutes. This is a significant achievement, considering Aadi Saikumar’s recent films ended as box-office flops and failed to perform well on OTT as well.
A section of the audience missed Shambhala in theatres, which helped the film gain massive traction once it arrived on OTT. Made on a shoestring budget, Shambhala reportedly grossed Rs 25 crore at the box office, as per the tracking portal Sacnilk.
What is Shambhala's storyline?
The film revolves around a small village possessed by an evil spirit that falls from the sky. A scientist, played by Aadi Saikumar, enters the town and helps the locals by unraveling the mystery. Director Yogendra Muni has presented the story in a gripping manner, with strong narration and thrills.
Shambhala marks a solid comeback for Aadi Saikumar and puts his career back on track. The film stars Archana Iyer as the female lead, and her performance and chemistry with Aadi Saikumar have also been appreciated.
Will there be Shambhala 2 in the making?
There is also buzz that the makers are planning a sequel, though no official confirmation has been made. The director has ended the film in a way that leaves ample scope for a follow-up.
Meanwhile, with a runtime of under two-and-a-half hours, Shambhala is an engaging watch. Those yet to stream it can watch the film on OTTplay Premium. For now, Shambhala continues its strong run on OTT.
