Fans of Keerthy Suresh and Tamil cinema have a special year-end gift coming their way. The actress's latest film, 'Revolver Rita', is making a swift transition from the big screen to the digital world, ensuring no one misses out on the quirky action.
Netflix Announces Official Streaming Date
Netflix India has officially confirmed the digital premiere of 'Revolver Rita'. The announcement was made via the streaming giant's Instagram page, sending fans into a frenzy. The film is scheduled to start streaming on December 26, perfectly timed for the Christmas holiday weekend. The tagline, "If anyone touches the family, Rita will become Revolver Rita," sets the tone for the narrative. The film will be available in four major South Indian languages: Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam. As of now, details about a potential Hindi dub release remain undisclosed.
Not Just Violence: Keerthy Clarifies the Genre
Addressing potential audience concerns, Keerthy Suresh has taken care to explain the film's true nature. During a pre-release event, she emphasized that 'Revolver Rita' is a dark comedy-action film, not an intensely violent flick. "This is not a violent action film. It is a comedy-action film that you can sit down and watch with your family in peace," she stated. With a laugh, she added that the film serves as an answer to those wondering about the prominence of guns in a comedy. This clarification has positioned the movie as a potential family-friendly entertainer for the festive season.
Plot, Premiere, and Fan Excitement
The film, which had a theatrical release on November 28, follows the story of Rita, who lives with her mother and sisters. Her life takes a chaotic and humorous turn when a drunken rowdy enters the scene. The plot unfolds around the rowdy's accidental death, the subsequent cover-up, and the hiding of the body, further complicated by the entry of another gang. This leads to a series of confusing yet hilarious incidents, blending mystery, comedy, and family sentiment.
The quick OTT release, just under a month after its theatrical debut, is a welcome move for many. It provides a second chance for those who missed it in cinemas and an opportunity for fans to re-watch it from the comfort of their homes. Social media reactions to the Netflix announcement have been overwhelmingly positive, filled with fire emojis and excited comments from eager viewers looking forward to their holiday binge.
