Other Notable Releases and Theatrical-to-OTT Buzz
While the major platforms have secured their big releases, several other Telugu films and series are either hitting smaller platforms or generating significant buzz for their imminent OTT debut following a successful theatrical run this week.
5. Theatrical-to-OTT Watch: Shambhala
While not an immediate OTT release, the theatrical premiere of Shambhala on December 25, 2025, is a key event that signals a future major digital release.
This action-horror-thriller, starring Aadi Sai Kumar and directed by Ugandhar Muni, has already secured its OTT and satellite deals. Fans of the horror-thriller genre should keep a close eye on this one, as its digital streaming date is expected to be announced shortly after its theatrical run, likely on a major platform.
6. Eesha (Theatrical Release)
Another film hitting the big screen this week is Eesha, a spine-chilling thriller directed by Srinivas Manne.
Starring Thrigun, Hebah Patel, and Adith Arun, the film’s trailer and glimpses have promised a high-tension narrative. Like Shambhala, its strong theatrical presence on December 25, 2025, means its OTT release date on a platform like Aha or ZEE5 is a matter of weeks away, making it a hot topic in the Telugu cinema sphere.
7. Mrs. Deshpande (JioHotstar)
Rounding out the list is the JioHotstar release, Mrs. Deshpande, which also dropped on December 19, 2025.
This film, while having a slightly lower profile than the others, caters to the audience seeking a light-hearted drama or family-oriented story. Its availability on JioHotstar makes it easily accessible for subscribers looking for a quick, entertaining watch without the commitment of a major, high-budget production.
Your Telugu OTT Binge-Watch Strategy for the Week
The end of 2025 is proving to be a goldmine for Telugu OTT content. To maximize your viewing this week, start with the star power and high production value of Andhra King Taluka on Netflix on Christmas Day.
For a dose of suspense, dive into the sci-fi world of Nayanam on ZEE5, which offers a unique narrative twist on the psychological thriller genre. If you prefer a mix of comedy and family drama, the dual-platform release of Santhana Prapthirasthu on JioHotstar and Amazon Prime Video is your best bet.
Keep an eye on the theatrical releases, Shambhala and Eesha, as their successful runs will directly influence their quick digital streaming dates. With such a diverse and high-quality lineup, Telugu cinema continues to dominate the digital landscape, offering endless entertainment options for subscribers across all major streaming services.
