Analysis
Let’s talk about the licensed films first. Other than Kuberaa and Housefull 5, none of the films stood out. All other movies just came and disappeared in the ocean of library that Prime Video hosts. All the movies, be it Thalli Manasu, Zero Se Restart or anything just failed to get any attention. Even after the massive response of 12th Fail, Zero Se Restart was an utter failure.
Talking about the original series, we saw Rangeen. The series is about a man whose situations force him to become a sex worker. The series might have been very popular with the masses, but the execution was terrible. The series is all about watching a sanitised version of a very poorly written sex drama.
Uppu Kappu Rambu is a very very poor comedy. It tries to critique on the social aspects with a humour. But the humour does not stand impressive. It is a very poorly written film and even poorer is the execution. Perhaps that is the reason it was dumped on OTT, but even the OTT audiences rejected the film.
Overall, Prime Video does not deserve more than 4/10 for how they entertained us in the month of July.
