Kabzaa– a great effort from the Kannada industry to replicate the KGF franchise, is all set to release on the OTT platform.
Kannada movie Underworld ka Kabzaa was released theatrically this year on March 17 with Upendra (also appeared in Mulshi Pattern), Shiva Rajkumar, Sudeep (seen in Rakta Charitra), and Shriya Saran in lead roles. Fans and critics both had mixed reactions to the movie.
Directors and producers had high hopes for this period drama movie, and somewhere, the results did not meet up to expectations. The movie was released in 7 languages (Kannada, Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Odia) on over 4000 screens across the world.
Though the movie’s exact box office collection is still not known, director R Chandru confirmed that there would be a sequel to the movie. “The sequel of the movie will be bigger and grander,” he said.
The Kannada film industry has established a fan base all over India, and everyone is looking forward to how Kabzaa will perform on the OTT platform.

The movie is set in pre-independent India and revolves around the life of a boy whose circumstances and need to survive in a brutal world turn him into a dreaded gangster. The movie is filled with strong language and bloody scenes; if you are a fan of action-filled drama, this one is definitely for you.
Kabzaa claimed to be one of India’s biggest period action films with a budget of over 100 crores but failed terribly to impress its audience. People even went ahead and called the film a cheap copy of KGF. This can be a major reason why the makers of the film decided to bring it to the OTT platform within weeks of theatrical release.
