The Odia Cinematic Marvel Set to Make its OTT Debut ' Bringing a Tale of Courage, Perseverance, and Social Change to Homes Across India

AAO NXT, Eastern India's pioneering OTT platform, is proud to announce the exclusive streaming release of DAMaN, a National Award-winning film that has touched the hearts of millions. Streaming exclusively on AAO NXT since its launch on the platform on October 15, DAMaN brings a tale of courage, perseverance, and social change to homes across India.

The film, honored with the National Award for Best Odia Film at the 70th National Film Awards, takes a deep dive into the life of a young doctor who sacrifices personal comfort to battle an epidemic in the remote tribal villages of Odisha. Directed by Vishal Mourya and Debi Prasad Lenka, DAMaN stars Odia cinema superstar Babushaan Mohanty in one of his most powerful performances to date.

Set in 2015, DAMaN portrays the challenges healthcare workers face in combating both deadly malaria and deeply rooted superstitions in tribal communities. The film intertwines the struggles and triumphs of Dr. Siddharth, who leaves behind his urban life after being posted in the cut-off, naxal-dominated regions of Odisha's Malkangiri district.

Kaushik Das, Founder and CEO of AAO NXT, shared his enthusiasm, saying, 'We are deeply committed to promoting films that not only entertain but also inspire and provoke thought. DAMaN is a masterpiece that resonates with audiences for its portrayal of human grit and determination. We are immensely proud to stream this National Award-winning film, and we believe its story will touch the hearts of millions across India and beyond.'

A Tale of Bravery and Social Reform


Based on true events, DAMaN sheds light on the government's efforts to control malaria in Odisha's most inaccessible tribal regions. The film is a tribute to the selflessness of healthcare workers who face unimaginable hurdles while serving in areas lacking basic medical infrastructure. The protagonist, Dr. Siddharth, is stationed at the Janbai Primary Health Center, covering 151 villages in a naxalite-infested region. With little to no modern medical facilities available, he embarks on a mission to eradicate malaria, often using his own limited resources.

Award-Winning Accolades and Box Office Success


Since its theatrical release on November 4, 2022, DAMaN has received widespread critical acclaim and went on to become the highest-grossing Odia film of all time. At the 70th National Film Awards, it was recognized with the prestigious National Award for Best Odia Film.

By acquiring the exclusive streaming rights to DAMaN, AAO NXT reinforces its commitment to celebrating regional cinema and making impactful stories accessible to audiences around the world.
