11th Hour is an Indian Telugu-language crime thriller web series created by Introupe Online for aha, directed by Praveen Sattaru, starring Tamannaah in the lead role.[1] The series based on Upendra Namburi's Book 8 Hours, in which the protagonist Aratrika Reddy (Tamannaah) faces a multi-layered high-stakes boardroom challenge that unfolds in a single night.[2][3]

The series's release was initially scheduled for January 2021 (2021-01),[4] but COVID-19 restrictions prompted it to be delayed to 8 April 2021 (2021-04-08).[5][6]

Synopsis

The Aditya Group of Companies, which invented a source of clean energy and which is led by Aratrika Reddy (Tamannaah), is on the verge of being forced into bankruptcy as the result of a political conspiracy, with the company required to deposit more than Rs 9,000 crore to the Imperial Bank by 8 a.m. the next dawn to secure its salvation. Aratrika's ex-husband Siddharth Singh (Vamsi Krishna), competitor Rajvardhan Rathore (Shatru), Imperial Bank president Sundar Das (Srikanth Iyengar) and Prince Sadiq (Anirudh Balaji), a sheikh from Dubai, make financial proposals to Aratrika, who turns them all down and holds out hope for a miracle before sunrise to save the Aditya Group.

Production

Pradeep Uppalapati wrote the script for 11th Hour, after which aha green-lit the series as part of its aha originals. Praveen Sattaru selected as the director. Tamannaah appeared in the lead role. With Tamannaah on board, the director chose a supporting cast that can also hold attention, comprising Jayaprakash, Madhusudhan, Arun Adith, Vamsi Krishna and Srikanth Iyengar. The series was shot over 33 days with a team of 30-40 members, who were tested six times for COVID-19. Most portions were filmed in a hotel when occupancy was low because of the pandemic. A few prologue scenes were filmed in other places.[2]

Release

The entire show, comprising eight episodes, was broadcast exclusively on the aha streaming service on 8 April 2021 (2021-04-08).[15]

Reception

Hemanth Kumar of Firstpost rated the series 2.5/5 and wrote: "11th Hour has scale, grandeur, and a solid premise but fails to keep one hooked to the story." While the motivations of the characters are established, Kumar felt that the narration was not compelling enough.[16] A. Kameshwari in her The Indian Express review stated: "The makers of 11th Hour, a corporate drama, try too hard to make the series interesting but in vain." She felt that the audience could not connect with the character of Tamannaah as it was kept half baked.[17]

Times of India critic Sravan Vanaparthy rated 3 of 5 stars and wrote: "11th Hour is refreshing in the sense that it explores the trials and tribulations faced by a woman who’s looking to make it big in a man’s world."[18] India Today editor Janani.K called Tamannaah the saviour of "this bland thriller." "As a single mom, chairman of a company and caring daughter, Tamannaah has done her best. But, her efforts go waste as the writing lacks nuance," she added.[19]
