Very few regional films leave an impact on the OTT audience where there is a variety of genres to choose from. A prime example of this can be seen with Boat, which is currently streaming on Prime Video and AHA OTT platforms.
Boat is a drama that takes place in the pre-Independence era and centers on a group of individuals from many walks of life who get up stranded on a boat in the middle of the sea. They become aware that one of them is a wanted terrorist when disagreements arise between them from time to time. The main focus of the movie is how they escape despite all the threats.
Chimbudeven is the director and writer of the movie. In addition to Yogi Babu, the film features important characters played by Gouri Kishan, MS Bhaskar, Madhumitha, Sha Ra, Chams, and Chinni Jayanth.
Yogi Babu’s Boat was digitally released on Prime Video on October 1st and since then it has got a huge positive response from the fans. Prime Video has countless top-tier movies and shows to choose from and a regional movie like Boat was expected to perform decent on the platform. However, Yogi Babu’s starter reigns at the top 10 movies watched on Prime Video and is in the third position on the list.
It is right behind Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha and Bad Newz on the list and ahead of huge films like Kalki 2898 A.D, Pechi, Challengers, and several other popular films. This shows how much regional cinema has grown over the years and is getting a nationwide response with impressive films like Boat.
