You never know when something wonderful will happen on OTT. A strange case has happened on Prime Video. A film, three years after its theatrical release, is making good buzz on Prime Video.
All hail the content.
We are talking about Writer.
“Writer” is a crime thriller directed by Franklin Jacob. The film stars Samuthirakani as Thangaraj, a police head constable working as a writer in a station. His life takes a turn when he gets caught in an illegal custody case involving Devakumar, a Ph.D. student researching police mental health and suicides. As Thangaraj digs deeper, he uncovers corruption in the system, forcing him to question his morals and duty.
The film received praise for its realistic portrayal of police brutality and systemic issues. Critics appreciated its honest storytelling and focus on important social topics.
Strangely, it is not the first time we have had Writer on OTT. The film was released in 2021. It has been streaming on Aha since 2022 but due to the regional limitations of the platform, it couldn’t do much.
But the film recently arrived on Prime Video and now it is making good buzz. Strange world we are living in.
For those who love hard-hitting films with a strong message, Writer is a must-watch. It shines a light on the hidden struggles within the police force and leaves a lasting impact.
