Sapta Sagaradaache Ello - Side B finally made its streaming debut last week. Starring Rakshit Shetty and Rukmini Vasanth in the lead roles, the movie took longer than usual to arrive on streaming.

The audience seems to be flocking to the streaming platform to watch the concluding chapter in the tragic epic love saga.

Filmmaker Hemanth M. Rao has expressed his gratitude and happiness over the kind of interest that the movie is generating among streaming audiences. Just two days after making its debut on Amazon Prime Video, the movie has emerged as one of the top five choices among viewers on the platform.

What delayed Sapta Sagaradaache Ello - Side B streaming release?

Typically, the filmmakers in the South partner with a streaming platform before releasing their new movies in the theatres. However, Rakshit Shetty, who is also the producer of this movie, seemingly wanted to keep his options open to ensure the availability of Sapta Sagaradaache Ello - Side B for a broader streaming audience.

Earlier, Rakshit explored the options to release the movie on a rental basis across the streaming platforms globally, instead of limiting it to a certain subscriber base of a streamer. And this seems to have been the main reason behind the delay. Otherwise, the movie might have become available for streaming within four weeks of its theatrical release, just like Sagaradaache Ello - Side A.

The two-part romantic drama tells the tragic story of Manu (Rakshit Shetty), who loses the love of his life to a misguided decision that he took in a moment of desperation. Side A ended with Manu accepting the reality and breaking up with his lover Priya (Rukmini Vasanth). Side B will further delve into the enduring consequences of Manu's past mistakes.
