“Lockdown” Movie Arrives on OTT!

Malayalam actress Anupama Parameswaran, who has acted in many Telugu films, gained good recognition last year with several releases. She also started the new year with a thriller film titled Lockdown. Without much announcement, the film has now quietly arrived on the OTT platform Amazon Prime Video and is currently streaming in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi.

The film was initially planned for a theatrical release in December last year but was delayed several times. Finally, it was released on January 30. However, since the lockdown concept felt outdated, the movie did not perform well in theatres. After its theatrical run, it was quietly released on OTT.

The story follows Anita, played by Anupama, who finishes her studies and searches for a job. After attending a party with her friends, her life takes an unexpected turn when she becomes pregnant. She tries to hide this from her family. At the same time, a nationwide lockdown makes it difficult for her to get medical help. The film also shows the struggles of families who lose their income, migrant workers stuck away from home, doctors risking their lives, lonely youngsters and couples forced to stay apart during the lockdown. The rest of the story reveals what happens in Anita’s life.
