Junior Movie OTT Release: Kiriti Reddy and Srileela Film to Stream on Prime Video Soon
Junior is a Kannada/Telugu bilingual film starring Kiriti Reddy, Srileela and Genelia. Junior, which was released in theaters on July 18, is now coming to OTT. The movie, which gave huge hype with its songs, managed to do well at the box office. Although Genelia's re-entry with Srileela was well-received by the reviews, it failed to do well in the collections. In view of the collections, there is talk from trade circles that the Junior Theater long run is almost complete. In this context, it is reported that the movie is entering OTT within two weeks of its release. It seems that it will be brought to Prime Video for streaming from Saturday (August 2). However, no official announcement has been made from the makers on the matter of streaming. In fact, the makers initially planned to stream the Junior movie from August 15. But, it seems that they have decided to bring it to OTT before the audience forgets the crazy buzz about Junior. There is a possibility that an update will come from the makers on Junior OTT by today or tomorrow. Junior Budget & Collections: The Junior Movie was made with a total budget of Rs.25 crores including promotion expenses. It did a pre-release business of Rs.10 crores due to Srileela and Kiriti Crazy. In addition, it was released in about 1100 screens worldwide. It was grandly released in 500 screens in Andhra Pradesh/Telangana, 900 screens across India and 200 screens overseas. Trade sources had predicted that it would earn huge collections. However, the film received mixed reviews and grossed over Rs 10 crore worldwide. It collected over Rs 7 crore net in India.

(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Genelia Deshmukh 's Telugu film 'Junior' has maintained a steady presence at the box office through its first six days, collecting a total of Rs 7.65 crore across all languages. As reported by the Sacnilk website, after a decent opening weekend, the family entertainer experienced the usual weekday dip. The entertainer wrapped up its sixth day (Wednesday, July 23) with early estimates pegging the earnings at Rs 60 lakhs. The initial days showed promise, starting with Rs 1.5 crore on Friday, followed by Rs 1.8 crore on Saturday and a peak of Rs 2.2 crore on Sunday. Telugu and Kannada market trends The film saw mixed occupancy trends in its two primary markets — Telugu and Kannada. On Wednesday, Telugu occupancy across 2D shows stood at a moderate 15.58%. Morning shows drew a 13.97% turnout. The numbers slightly rose through the day with 14.43% in the afternoon, 15.67% in the evening. It peaked at 18.23% by night. What's ahead for 'Junior' If word-of-mouth and regional appeal continue to support it, Junior may still manage a respectable run despite slowing weekday numbers. For now, its total collection of Rs 7.65 crore serves as a fair outcome for a regional film driven by a mix of star power and youthful energy. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Do you have a mouse? Desert Order Undo An excerpt from ETimes review for the film reads, "The film begins by focusing on college life and corporate culture, which may feel familiar and formulaic. However, it sets the stage for an emotionally rich second half, full of twists and heartfelt moments, as the story returns to the village, reconnecting with roots and understanding life from a parent's point of view. While the movie treads familiar ground, it reminds us that family dramas never go out of style. With strong emotional arcs and touching dialogues, it delivers a story that resonates with audiences of all ages." The film stars Genelia alongside Sreeleela, Kireeti Reddy, Rao Ramesh, Ravichandran Veeraswamy, and Achyuth Kumar.

Genelia Deshmukh: When female audience likes you, you have a responsibility
Junior, the upcoming bilingual family drama mounted as a launch pad for Kireeti Reddy, also marks Genelia Deshmukh's return to South Indian cinema after 13 years. An entire generation has grown up watching her films like Bommarillu, Orange, Ready, and Sye among many more. Genelia looks back at those years with a mix of awe and gratitude. Recalling how she occasionally watches some of her songs and clips, Genelia says, 'Sometimes I watch a scene of mine with Prakash Raj or another great actor, and wonder, 'Did I really do that?' (laughs) It's hard to believe I did that work, at times. I see my songs very often, and enjoy it — It was a very special phase of my life.' At the same time, the Bommarillu actor expresses great pride in her Telugu filmography. She explains, 'As an actor, I have been very particular. Even when I was at my peak, I didn't go on to sign countless films. I did only those films I would be proud of, that a whole family could watch without feeling weird. Not many actors took that route at that point in time. I took that trouble, and I hope the risk was worth it.' Genelia also makes an interesting observation about her fanbase while looking back to her work around 2004-2012, before she took a sabbatical from acting. 'The male audience likes me too. But when your female audience likes you, you have a responsibility. That's something I've taken personally. So often I have mothers and grandmothers coming to me, calling me 'Bangaaram' (precious girl), telling me how the enjoyed my film. That means the world to me. I did not do any ultra-glamorous roles. I have a very loyal audience, and I am respecful of it.'
