Anushka Shetty's film Ghaati, directed by Krish Jagarlamudi, has reportedly underperformed at the box office despite its promising combination. The action drama, which also stars Vikram Prabhu, failed to generate sufficient buzz among audiences and received mixed reviews upon its release on September 5, 2025. The film's concurrent release with other movies like Madharaasi and Little Hearts may have contributed to its lackluster performance.
The movie follows the story of a marginalized community's fight against exploitation and criminal syndicates in the Eastern Ghats, showcasing Anushka Shetty in a thrilling action-crime role. Although the film's box office run was disappointing, its digital rights deal has generated significant interest. Amazon Prime Video has acquired the streaming rights for a record breaking price, marking Anushka Shetty's largest digital rights sale to date.
Ghaati is set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on October 2, 2025, roughly a month after its theatrical release. The film's ensemble cast, including John Vijay, Ravindra Vijay, Jisshu Sengupta, and Jagapathi Babu, adds to its appeal. Despite mixed reviews, the movie has received praise for Anushka Shetty's dominant on-screen persona and the film's gritty tone.
The production team recovered a significant portion of the budget thanks to the lucrative digital rights deal. With its OTT release imminent, fans can look forward to experiencing Anushka Shetty's powerful performance in Ghaati from the comfort of their homes.
