Apart from this, the film is also available to stream on the OTT giant Prime Video.
23 (Iravai Moodu) follows the story of Sagar, a young man from a marginalised caste who gets involved in a sequence of tragic events that highlight the inequities in the Indian Justice system. The film depicts three real-life events from the 1990s: the Chundur massacre, the Chilakaluripeta bus fire, and the Jubilee Hills bombing.
The plot mainly focuses on Sagar's journey as he navigates poverty, cultural pressures and the legal consequences of a crime he commits while attempting to improve his and his loved ones' lives.
Earlier, during the promotion of the film, director Raj opened up about how he came up with the idea of 23 (Iravai Moodu). He said, 'One of my friends about the 1993 Chilakaluripet bus burning event. Of course, I was aware of the occurrence throughout my undergraduate years, but I also had a binary mindset at the time. Now I realise how flawed I was. Acceptance, repentance, guilt, reform, and redemption may all be seen in Valmiki and Angulimala's stories. While the Chilakaluripet tragedy had a compassionate aspect, I was unsure whether I could redeem the accused," as quoted by Cinema Express.
He added, 'Coincidentally, another friend told me of the 1991 Tsunduru mass killings, in which the accused intended to kill. While it didn't fit into the screenplay structure on its own, I thought, Why not combine the two events? Then we had a story."
Apart from Teja and Tanmai, the film also features actors like Jhansi, Pawon Ramesh, Thagubothu Ramesh, and Praneeth in key roles.
