Telusu Kada OTT: Streaming Details Out

0

After a disappointing performance in theaters, Siddu Jonnalagadda’s romantic drama, Telusu Kada, is all set to make its OTT debut, and its streaming details are out now. Directed by Neeraja Kona, the film was released in theaters on October 17, 2025.

The latest news is that Siddu Jonnalagadda’s Telusu Kada will premiere on 13th November on Netflix, and it will be available for streaming on OTT in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. 

Upon its theatrical release, the film worked only for a few among audiences, while it received mixed reviews from other sections, and the majority of people had even debated about the film’s storyline and the hero’s character online.

Because of such an uneven response, the film ended up as a big failure at the box office, and we need to see how OTT audiences receive it.

0

The Girlfriend, starring Rashmika Mandanna and directed by Rahul Ravindran, is already making waves even before its theatrical release. Thanks to Rashmika’s strong pan-India stardom, the film has secured a solid ₹21 crore in non-theatrical business.

According to inside reports, the OTT streaming rights of The Girlfriend have been sold to Netflix for ₹14 crore, while the Hindi dubbing and satellite rights have fetched another ₹7 crore. 

This is a remarkable achievement, especially at a time when non-theatrical deals are becoming harder to close, even for big-budget films, and Rashmika’s Pan-India stardom made it possible.

Produced by Geetha Arts and Dheeraj Mogilineni Entertainment, the film will hit theaters on 7th November. The trailer hints at a gripping and emotional journey, showing glimpses of a toxic relationship between the lead pair. The film promises a fresh take on modern love and emotional vulnerability.

Bigg Boss 9 Telugu Controversy: Thanuja’s Favoritism Debate Heats Up

0

From the very first episode of Bigg Boss Telugu 9, some viewers have accused the show’s management and host Nagarjuna of giving special treatment to contestant Thanuja. Lately, the eliminated commoner contestant, Srija’s words, have fueled this debate to a new level.

Fans say that during the weekend episodes, Nagarjuna reviews each housemate’s performance and points out their mistakes. However, they claim he has never criticized Thanuja the way he does with others.

Dammu Srija, who entered the house as a commoner, was eliminated, re-entered, and then eliminated again last week. In a recent Instagram video, she openly stated that the Bigg Boss Telugu team is biased toward Thanuja. According to Srija, when other contestants make mistakes, they face strict punishment, but Thanuja is often let off easily.

Srija also mentioned an incident where Rithu Chowdhary and Immanuel gave up important privileges like hair and captaincy to bring Sanjana back into the house. In contrast, Thanuja only gave up drinking coffee, but she has reportedly continued drinking it occasionally, with the team allegedly bending rules for her.

She further claimed that Thanuja was specially shown the footage from the house to help her improve her game, unlike others.

Despite the criticism, Thanuja is currently leading in online vote polls and is considered the top contender for the title.

No 100 Cr for Baahubali The Epic

0

Baahubali: The Epic crossed around 37 Cr worldwide on the opening weekend, and it is certainly a massive collection for a re-released movie, but looking at the trend, the film will not be able to cross the 100 Cr number at the box office. 

The movie sees a considerable drop in collections on Monday, which is expected for any rerelease. Normally, re-releases will fall immediately after opening day, but Baahubali: The Epic maintains strong collections for the entire weekend, but still, the 100 Cr target stands far from it.

Baahubali: The Epic – Biggest Hit in Telugu Re-Releases, soon to cross India’s Record

Directed by Rajamouli and starring Prabhas, one of the landmark movies in Indian cinema has collected 27 Cr from India and 10 Cr from overseas in its re-release. 

There were expectations that the film would easily do 100 Cr gross among a section of audiences and trade. But looking at today’s trend, there is no chance for the film to reach the 100 Cr mark.

The film will definitely set the benchmark in India for rereleases. Currently, Sanam Teri Kasam is the biggest grosser in India in re-releases with 40 Cr gross, and Baahubali, which is at 27 Cr in India for 3 days, is expected to cross this by the 2nd weekend.

War 2 Disaster Pushes Alpha?

0

Alia Bhatt and Sharvari’s Alpha, the first-ever female spy film from YRF’s Spy Universe, was all set for a grand worldwide release this Christmas, which is now said to be postponed to April 17, 2026.

The makers officially announced, and even though they say that the post-production works and VFX works are the reason for the delay, one will doubt that the results of Tiger 3 and War 2 impacted this. 

Especially the disastrous result of Hrithik Roshan and NTR’s War 2, which was released this year, has subsequently pushed the release date of Alpha. This might be the reason for the team to take a break to get out of the negativity around the universe.

It’s almost a do-or-die chance for the YRF Spy Universe now, and if Alpha also fails, then it is probably the end of the universe.

Ustaad Bhagat Singh: Not A Remake

0

After delivering the blockbuster Gabbar Singh in 2012, Pawan Kalyan and Harish Shankar have teamed up once again for their new film Ustaad Bhagat Singh. Early reports suggested that the film was a remake of Thalapathy Vijay’s Theri, which had already been released in Telugu. This led to disappointment among fans, who didn’t want Pawan to do a remake in the current OTT era.

However, the makers of Ustaad Bhagat Singh have repeatedly clarified that the film is not a remake. In recent interviews, the team said that fans and audiences will be pleasantly surprised when they watch the film.

UBS is expected to be a full-on entertainer, offering Pawan Kalyan in a lively and engaging role. The music of the film is also said to be a major highlight. According to sources, Pawan was so impressed with one of the songs that he felt like dancing on screen again, something fans haven’t seen since Gabbar Singh.

As for the release date, the makers have not made any official announcement yet. They are currently looking for the best possible window, and the film is likely to hit theaters in summer 2026.

Mass Jathara 1st Weekend Box Office Collections

0

Mass Jathara, the latest film from Ravi Teja, produced by Naga Vamsi, was released in theaters on November 1st with premieres on Friday evening, which received a unanimous negative response, resulting in a poor box office performance from the film. 

For Mass Jathara, somehow, numbers are not coming out from distribution offices like other movies due to the film’s disappointing collections. Approximately, for the 1st weekend, the movie has collected around 13 Cr gross worldwide. 

Mass Jathara Box Office: A Disappointing First Weekend

As said above, the film received unanimous negative WOM and reviews. This made it very tough for Mass Jathara to get even decent numbers, and it had a poor first weekend at the box office. 

The film’s theatrical rights are sold at very low prices due to previous films’ recoveries, and now, achieving that business also looks impossible, as the break-even gross stands over 35 Cr, where the film cannot go.

With this, Mass Jathara marks another failure for Raviteja, and his wait for a solid hit continues.

Makers Confirm: The Raja Saab Release Not Postponed

0

The Raja Saab, starring Prabhas and directed by Maruthi, has faced several delays but is now in the final stages of shooting. Recently, rumors began circulating about a possible postponement, but the makers have strongly denied them.

Since the film involves heavy VFX work, buzz in distribution circles suggested that it might miss its Sankranthi release. If that happens, films starring Ravi Teja and Sharwanand are reportedly ready to take the festival slot.

Too Many Rumors around The Raja Saab – Makers to start continuous promotions soon

There was also talk that if The Raja Saab gets delayed, Akhanda 2 might release during Sankranthi instead of its current December 5th date, as the festival season is considered more favorable.

However, sources close to the production team have confirmed that there is no truth to the postponement rumors of Raja Saab. The film is 100% set to release during Sankranthi.

The first single from the film will be released soon, and the team plans to begin full-scale promotions afterward.

Fans are eagerly waiting, and they won’t accept another delay from the team. All eyes are now on the makers to stick to the promised release date.
