Kajal Aggarwal’s film The India Story, which initially missed a theatrical release in Telugu and Tamil, is now available to stream in both languages on JioHotstar. The film, directed by Chettan DK and produced by Sagar B Shinde, had earlier reached audiences only through its Hindi version, which released in cinemas but did not make a significant impact at the box office. The Hindi version was later added to JioHotstar, and now the Telugu and Tamil versions have joined the platform, offering a fresh chance for viewers who missed out on the big screen experience.
The India Story features Kajal Aggarwal and Shreyas Talpade in the lead roles, supported by Manish Wadhwa, Murli Sharma, Atul Tiwari, and Kamlesh Sawant. The soundtrack is composed by Mangesh Dhakde. The film explores themes around the consequences of pesticide farming, blending social commentary with drama. Kajal Aggarwal, known for her strong performances in both Telugu and Tamil cinema, brings her experience to a role that aims to resonate with audiences across languages.
Earlier this year, coverage highlighted the film’s focus on socio-political issues and its planned multilingual release. However, only the Hindi version reached theatres, leaving Telugu and Tamil viewers waiting until now. With the film now streaming, attention turns to how audiences on OTT platforms will respond, especially since the theatrical run did not generate significant buzz. The release on JioHotstar gives The India Story a renewed opportunity to connect with viewers in South India.
