MUMBAI: Five years ago, Kiara Advani-starrer Guilty entered the digital space. The film came at a time when the OTT landscape was still evolving. Released during the time when lockdown was about to hit, the film garnered significant attention for its gripping narrative, strong performance by Kiara, and bold storytelling. It was among the first big projects to embrace the digital-first approach, proving that streaming platforms could offer compelling and high-quality cinema.
Kiara's Guilty arrived as a fresh, edgy, and socially relevant film that sparked conversations around secual abuse. Her portrayal of Nanki Dutta, a rebellious yet vulnerable young woman, was widely appreciated, cementing her position as an actress capable of carrying intense, performance-driven roles effortlessly.
At a time when digital platforms were experimenting with original content, Guilty emerged as a benchmark for high-quality, star-led films on OTT. It not only engaged audiences but also sparked conversations around socially relevant issues, and setting a precedent for the kind of impactful storytelling that would later become a norm in the streaming era.
As Guilty completes five years, it remains a defining moment in Kiara Advani’s career. On the work front, Kiara is gearing up for some of the biggest releases, including War 2 alongside Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, as well as Toxic, her pan-world film opposite Yash.
