If you are one of the viewers who enjoyed Brad Pitt’s Hollywood sports drama F1, there is good news. The film is now streaming on Apple TV, and its digital release arrives with notable strengths along with a few drawbacks.
One of the biggest positives is Apple TV offering the film in Telugu, along with Telugu subtitles. This level of localisation from an international platform is a pleasant surprise. The movie is also available in Hindi and Tamil, which makes the streaming experience more accessible for Indian audiences.
However, viewers who were waiting for an IMAX version will be disappointed. The streaming edition follows the standard format and does not include the IMAX aspect ratio. Another expectation that remained unfulfilled is haptic playback. Many iOS users believed the full movie would support haptics after Apple released a special haptic trailer. This feature is available only in the trailer and not in the complete film.
At the global box office, F1 collected over $631.5 million. The Indian market played a significant role and contributed more than Rs. 100 crore gross, which was far higher than industry predictions. The film continues to screen in select Indian cities such as Hyderabad and still attracts dedicated audiences.
The movie follows a veteran Formula 1 driver who attempts a high-stakes comeback while guiding a rising rookie. Together, they work to lift a struggling team and face intense challenges on the world’s fastest racing circuits. The film maintains an adrenaline-filled pace throughout. Performances by Damson Idris and Javier Bardem add depth to the emotional arc, and the score by Hans Zimmer enhances the overall impact of the story. Keep watching this space for more OTT updates.
