South Movies On OTT With Terrible Ratings

Martin

Martin, the highly anticipated film, hit theatres on October 11, 2024, but unfortunately, it failed to impress both critics and audiences alike. The movie received overwhelmingly negative reviews, with critics lambasting its weak screenplay and dialogue, which lacked depth and coherence. The film's background music was also panned for being unpleasant and detracting from the overall viewing experience. Furthermore, the acting performances were deemed subpar, failing to bring any redemption to the film. The movie also failed to perform well at the box office.

The Family Star

Despite a delayed release, Family Star faltered critically and commercially. Critics trashed the film's writing, direction, comedy, and performances. Its box office tally of ₹19.78-23.20 crore was significantly lower than its ₹50 crore production cost, solidifying its status as a commercial failure.

Adipurush

Adipurush, highly anticipated for its epic retelling, hit the theatres on June 16, 2023, but was met with widespread disappointment. Critics universally panned the movie, citing a flawed screenplay, weak dialogues, and subpar visuals that failed to do justice to its legendary source material. Despite its promising premise, Adipurush ultimately fell short of expectations, culminating in a disappointing box office performance that labelled it a commercial failure.

Guntur Kaaram

Guntur Kaaram hit theatres worldwide on January 12, 2024, coinciding with the Sankranti festival. Despite its promising release date, the film garnered largely negative reviews from critics, who targeted director Trivikram's direction and screenplay. However, the film's silver linings included Thaman's captivating music and Babu's impressive performance, which received widespread praise. Unfortunately, these positives weren't enough to salvage the film's overall fate, as Guntur Kaaram ultimately tanked at the box office, emerging as a commercial flop.
