Champion OTT Release: Roshan Meka’s much-anticipated period drama Champion is gearing up for its digital debut following its theatrical run, and fans are eager to know when and where they can stream the film online.
Known for its grand scale and emotionally charged storytelling, Champion has generated strong buzz for blending historical elements with an inspiring underdog narrative.
This film will premiere exclusively on Netflix.
Champion unfolds as a powerful period drama that places personal ambition against the backdrop of a nation still finding its footing after Independence. The story centers on Michael, played by Roshan Meka, a gifted and passionate footballer from Secunderabad whose extraordinary talent fuels a singular dream: to travel to England and play professional football on the world stage. For Michael, the sport is not just a passion but a possible escape from the limitations imposed by his circumstances and the turbulent times he lives in.
However, the path to his dream is anything but straightforward. Lacking legal means and resources to leave the country, Michael is forced into a morally dangerous compromise. He agrees to smuggle weapons in exchange for passage, a decision that pulls him into a world far removed from football fields and stadium cheers. This risky journey takes him to the rural village of Bhairanpally, a place scarred by fear and violence during the early years after Independence.
In Bhairanpally, Michael comes face to face with the brutal oppression of the Razakars, whose reign of terror has left the local population traumatized and silenced. What begins as a brief stopover soon turns into a life-altering experience as Michael witnesses injustice, cruelty, and the resilience of ordinary villagers fighting to protect their land, dignity, and identity. Gradually, he becomes entangled in the local resistance movement, using his courage and leadership in ways he never anticipated.
As the conflict intensifies, Michael is pushed into an agonizing dilemma.
