The Birthday Boy is a low-budget Telugu film shot in the US. Featuring mostly newcomers, it is now out on OTT. Aha has bagged the digital rights to this film and is streaming it from August 9, 2024. The youthful, crazy drama has taken off to a decent start, as some impressive messages about this film are being posted online.
A subscriber of Aha who watched the film online says that he started watching The Birthday Boy with zero expectations but ended up liking it big time. Yet another stated that the fun moments in the film reminded him of his life in the US. The Birthday Boy is basically about a group of friends who kickstart a wild birthday party for one of the group members.
But things change all of a sudden when the birthday boy suddenly passes away, and hell breaks loose. Whiskey directed the film, which had Ravi Krishna, Mani Vaka, Raja Ashok, Vikranth Ved, and Sai Arun in lead roles. The production values of the film are top notch and though a very young team has made the film, the output is quite good.
One of the best parts of the film is how it was promoted. The writer and director Whisky hid his face under a mask until the film was released, which created a sensation of sorts. But sadly, as the film featured mostly newcomers, it did not fare well at the box office.
Aha has picked up the film for a very low price and has ended up with a solid deal. As the reception for the film is also good, Aha is in a win-win situation. In the past few months, Aha has been bagging rights to many low-budget Telugu films, which has helped the film's producers be in a safe zone. Watch this space for more updates on this project.
