Telugu films Biker and Raakaasa were released in theaters in April and have now arrived on Netflix, where both are making strong impressions. Raakaasa continues its successful run while Biker has found unexpected traction on the streaming platform.
Biker’s Surprising OTT Comeback
Biker struggled during its theatrical run and failed to create much impact at the box office. However, the Sharwanand starrer is now enjoying solid traction on Netflix. Despite its disappointing theatrical performance, the movie has entered Netflix India’s Top 10 trending films list and is holding a strong position among viewers.
Raakaasa Maintains Netflix Momentum
Raakaasa, which had a comparatively better response in theatres, has continued its momentum on OTT as well. The film has consistently remained in Netflix India’s trending chart since its digital premiere and even occupied the top spot during the initial days of release.
Malayalam Blockbuster in the Mix
Both Telugu films are competing alongside the Malayalam blockbuster Bharathanatyam 2: Mohiniyattam, which has emerged as a sensational OTT success. The film topped Netflix India charts and also entered Netflix‘s Global Top 10 Non-English Movies list with massive viewership numbers.
The Malayalam entertainer has been receiving exceptional word-of-mouth from audiences across languages, including Telugu viewers. Social media discussions and Reddit reactions have especially praised the film’s humor, writing, and rooted storytelling. Telugu films have seen similar trending success on Netflix in recent months.
Current Netflix Rankings
As per the latest Netflix data, here’s how the three films are positioned:
| Category | Raakaasa | Biker | Bharathanatyam 2 |
