UI World TV Premiere
The Zee Network’s deal for UI may only be for TV rights, as Zee Kannada released a promo for the film's TV premiere, sparking speculation that the OTT rights remain unsold.
UI OTT Release Delayed?
In an unexpected turn of events, the filmmakers revealed that the movie would premiere on television, much to the dismay of fans. The decision was met with disappointment, as viewers expressed concerns that the numerous advertisement breaks would significantly detract from their viewing experience. This is particularly true for a film like UI, which, as the filmmaker himself emphasised, demands the audience's undivided attention and focus to fully grasp the intricate messages and themes woven throughout the narrative.
As a result, fans continue to hold out hope for a forthcoming OTT release, which would allow them to enjoy the movie without interruptions.
About UI: Set against the backdrop of a dystopian world, the thought-provoking film UI delves into the intense psychological conflict between two protagonists, Sathya and Kalki. As the narrative unfolds, the movie masterfully explores the devastating consequences of misusing power, knowledge, and technology, which ultimately culminates in the destruction of humanity and the planet Earth. Through its gripping storyline, UI raises pertinent questions about the responsibility that comes with power and the importance of harnessing technological advancements for the greater good.
The film serves as a cautionary tale, urging viewers to reflect on the importance of ethical considerations in our pursuit of progress.
