Following a disappointing performance in cinemas, the Telugu supernatural thriller 'Jatadhara' is attempting a second innings on digital platforms. The film, which hit theatres on November 7, 2025, has now expanded its reach by launching a Hindi-dubbed version on Prime Video.
From Box Office Struggle to Digital Hope
The film, starring Sudheer Babu, faced negative buzz right from its release and was pulled from most theatres within just a week. It failed to connect with audiences during its theatrical run in November 2025. However, its transition to the digital space on Prime Video offered a new lease of life. Initially available only in Telugu, the platform has now added a Hindi version to cater to a pan-India audience, hoping to court a fresh wave of viewers and reactions.
Plot, Cast, and Sonakshi Sinha's Debut
'Jatadhara' features Sudheer Babu as a skeptic whose disbelief in the supernatural is put to the ultimate test. The plot revolves around the accidental awakening of a powerful spirit named Dhana Pisachi, portrayed by Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha. This role marked Sinha's much-talked-about debut in Telugu cinema.
Her look as the demonic entity became a major talking point for the film. Designed with fierce and otherworldly aesthetics, the character features elaborate dark makeup and traditional jewelry with a mythological touch, aiming to blend menace with divine energy.
Directed by Venkat Kalyan, the film boasts a supporting cast including Divya Khosla Kumar and Shilpa Shirodkar. The project was in the making for over a year before its eventual release.
Where and How to Watch
For viewers who missed it in theatres or wish to revisit it, 'Jatadhara' is now accessible for streaming. Both the original Telugu and the newly added Hindi-dubbed editions are available on Prime Video. Subscribers can watch the film at their convenience, giving the underperforming movie another chance to find its audience beyond the big screen.
The move to dub and release the film in Hindi underscores a growing trend where regional films leverage digital platforms to maximize their reach and recover from underwhelming box office returns.
