OTT and TV News

Sumanth Prabhas’ recent romantic comedy Godari Gattupaina hit theatres on May 8, 2026, and received mixed reactions from both critics and audiences. After completing a three week theatrical run, the film has now made its digital debut on Amazon Prime Video and is available for streaming in Telugu.

The film’s performance on OTT is now being closely watched, as streaming platforms often provide mixed reception films with a second chance to connect with a wider audience. It remains to be seen whether Godari Gattupaina can attract more viewers and gain appreciation through its digital release.

Nidhi Pradeep plays the female lead, while veteran actor Jagapathi Babu and comedian Sudharshan appear in key supporting roles. Directed by Subash Chandra and produced by Abhinav Rao, the film features music composed by Naga Vamshi Krishna.

A few days ago, the latest Hollywood horror thriller, The Mummy, directed by Lee Cronin and produced by James Wan and Jason Blum, made its digital debut through PVOD outside India. Now, the movie has finally arrived in the Indian OTT space.

Not one, but two platforms serve as the home for this hit movie. Amazon Prime Video and BMS Stream have made it available, but the catch is that one has to pay a rental fee of Rs. 499 on Prime Video and Rs. 549 on the BookMyShow streaming platform. This pricing is quite high for a digital release, so if the movie is still playing in your nearest theaters, people should definitely catch it on the big screen for a much better experience.

Another big drawback, apart from the steep pricing, is the current unavailability of Telugu and other regional languages. Although the theatrical dubbed versions were released in cinemas, the OTT platforms do not have those audio tracks available yet. Therefore, we may have to wait for some more time for the regional versions to drop.

The film stars Laia Costa, Jack Reynor, Veronica Falcón, and May Calamawy in pivotal roles. If you are comfortable watching it in English, you can head over to the platforms and rent it today. Stay tuned for more interesting OTT updates.

Legendary Saravanan’s sophomore film Legend is finally arriving on OTT platforms for online streaming. The spy action thriller, directed by Durai Senthilkumar, failed to make an impact during its theatrical run.

Now, actor and producer Saravanan himself has announced that the movie will premiere tomorrow on Amazon Prime Video in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada languages.

The OTT response is now eagerly awaited following its disappointing theatrical performance. The film also stars Andrea Jeremiah, Payal Rajput, and Santhosh Prathap in key roles, with music composed by Ghibran. Stay tuned for more OTT updates.

It has been a week since Netflix released the raw version of Dhurandhar: The Revenge outside India. Directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh, the spy action thriller is currently trending in the Top 10 non-English movies category on the Netflix Global Charts.

The blockbuster accumulated over 4.9 million views during its first week of release. In its second week (May 18-24, 2026), viewership dropped significantly to 1.3 million, but the film still managed to maintain its position in the Top 5, similar to its debut week.

The movie is scheduled to release in India on JioHotstar on June 4, 2026, in multiple languages. However, Indian audiences will receive the censored theatrical version instead of the raw edit. It remains to be seen how domestic viewers will respond to this version.

D-hanush was recently seen in the heist thriller Kara. The movie directed by Por Thozhil fame Vignesh Raja didn’t create much impact in theatres. Mamitha Baiju played the leading lady.

Kara is currently available for streaming on Netflix in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada languages along with English subtitles. It remains to be seen how the film fares in the digital space. Suraj Venjaramoodu, KS Ravikumar, and Jayaram played key roles.

Kara is bankrolled by Ishari K. Ganesh under the Vels Film International banner in association with Think Studios. GV Prakash Kumar composed the tunes. Stay tuned to this space for more OTT updates.

After Oh My God 2, Akshay Kumar scored a clean hit at the box office with his recent horror comedy entertainer Bhooth Bangla. The film marked the reunion of Akshay with the legendary Priyadarshan, the filmmaker who has a knack for making humorous entertainers. Following Dhurandhar: The Revenge, Akshay Kumar starrer attracted good footfalls, keeping theatres alive.

The film is still finding traction at the box office even though it’s been more than a month since its arrival. Bhooth Bangla is most likely to have its OTT premiere on June 12. Netflix holds the post-theatrical streaming rights to this hit film. An official confirmation is yet to be made.

So far, the film minted Rs. 175 crores nett at the Indian box office, while the global collection is around Rs. 240 crores gross. Wamiqa Gabbi played the female lead. The film also features Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Jisshu Sengupta, Mithila Palkar, Rajesh Sharma, Manoj Joshi, and the late Asrani ji in crucial roles. Bhooth Bangla is jointly bankrolled by Akshay Kumar, Ektaa Kapoor, and Shobha Kapoor.

Jio Hotstar’s new Tamil web series Brothers and Sisters is now streaming on the platform from today. The family drama has opened with decent buzz among audiences and is promoted as an emotional entertainer that revolves around relationships, conflicts, and bonding within a middle class family.

Directed by Chidambaram Manivannan, the series features Bose Venkat, Gayathri, Raj Ayyapa, Tejank, Apoorva Rao, and others in key roles. The story follows three sisters and their brother as they navigate personal struggles, emotional conflicts, and unexpected situations together. Things take a dramatic turn when a hidden truth about the family patriarch comes to light, creating tension and emotional turmoil within the household.

Jio Hotstar will follow a weekly release pattern, with new episodes arriving every Wednesday. Apart from Tamil, the series is also available in Telugu and other languages for a wider audience. The promo released by the makers has already generated curiosity with its blend of emotional moments, family drama, and light hearted entertainment.

Backrooms has emerged as one of the most anticipated horror films of 2026, turning a viral internet phenomenon into a large scale theatrical release backed by A24. Directed by Kane Parsons, popularly known online as Kane Pixels, the film is inspired by the unsettling “Backrooms” myth and his viral found footage videos that gained massive attention online.

The sci-fi horror thriller stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, Mark Duplass, and Finn Bennett in key roles. The film was originally scheduled to release in India on May 29, 2026, alongside its global debut, but the makers have now officially postponed the Indian release to June 12, 2026.

The delay has disappointed Indian horror fans, mainly because the film’s mystery driven narrative is highly vulnerable to online spoilers. According to reports, the release shift is linked to screen allocation and theatrical planning in India. Since the movie already carries huge social media buzz, many fans fear that avoiding spoilers for two weeks could become nearly impossible once international premieres begin.

The film has generated additional curiosity because of Parsons’ rise from YouTube creator to major studio director at just 20 years old. Reports also reveal that the makers built a massive 30,000 square foot practical set to recreate the endless maze-like environment seen in the original videos, with producers James Wan and Shawn Levy backing the ambitious horror project.

Leader, the spy action thriller starring Legend Saravanan, is once again in the spotlight due to rumors about its OTT release. Directed by R. S. Durai Senthilkumar, the film was released in theatres on April 3, 2026. However, it failed to perform well at the box office and also faced criticism over reports of inflated collection figures.

Now, social media buzz suggests that the film may start streaming on May 29, 2026. According to ongoing rumours, Amazon Prime Video has reportedly bagged the digital rights and is planning to release the movie in multiple languages, including Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.

It remains to be seen whether Leader can find a better response on OTT after its disappointing theatrical run. The film also stars Andrea Jeremiah, Payal Rajput, and Santhosh Prathap in key roles, with music composed by Ghibran.
