Paanch Minaar OTT Release: 7 Days After Theatrical Debut
Tollywood’s crime-thriller comedy Paanch Minaar, starring Raj Tarun and Rashi Singh, surprised everyone by landing on OTT just a week after its theatrical release. The film hit theaters on November 21, 2025, and has already premiered on Amazon Prime Video this Friday — a remarkably quick turnaround in today’s film-to-OTT lifecycle.
Quick OTT Turnaround
Paanch Minaar bypassed the usual 3–4-week theatrical window and went digital in only 7 days.
Such rapid OTT releases are becoming more common as streaming platforms play a growing role in a film’s post-theatrical life.
Film Details
Lead actors: Raj Tarun as Krishna Chaitanya alias “Kittu”, and Rashi Singh as the female lead.
Director: Ram Kudumula
Producers: Madhavi and MSM Reddy
What the Movie Is About
Kittu (Raj Tarun) loses lakhs of rupees in a Bitcoin scam. Trying to recover his losses, he becomes a cab driver. Things take a dark turn when two contract killers murder their targets inside his cab — dragging Kittu into their murderous chaos. As hired goons and corrupt police officers (local rowdy Murthy and CI Iyer) close in, the film follows how Kittu fights to escape this deadly web.
Mixed Theatrical Response, OTT Hope
Though Paanch Minaar didn’t manage to wow audiences in theatres — especially compared to some of Raj Tarun’s previous hits — its early OTT debut offers the film a second chance to find a wider audience.
Why This OTT Release Matters
A one-week shift to OTT suggests that producers and distributors are increasingly relying on streaming platforms to maximise reach and revenue.
It reflects the growing trend of reducing theatrical windows, especially for films that underperform at the box office.
For film lovers, it means faster access to new releases without waiting for weeks.
