This week promises a treat for Telugu entertainment enthusiasts as streaming platforms unveil a diverse lineup of new films and series. From December 2 to 7, viewers can explore a rich mix of genres, including intense sports dramas, period mysteries, gripping thrillers, and deep character-driven narratives. Whether you seek gritty realism, nostalgic moments, or emotionally resonant stories, the latest OTT slate has something for everyone.
Spotlight on Major Releases
Leading the pack is the much-anticipated film The Girlfriend, starring Rashmika Mandanna. Slated for release on December 5 on Netflix, this project is not a typical romantic comedy. It delves into the emotional and psychological complexities of modern relationships, described as a brave narrative that poses challenging questions about claustrophobic partnerships. The cast also features Dheekshith Shetty, Anu Emmanuel, Rao Ramesh, and Rohini.
Another key release on the same day is the comedy The Great Pre-Wedding Show on Zee5. This caper follows a local photographer, played by Thiruveer, who lands in hilarious trouble after losing the memory card containing a high-profile couple's pre-wedding shoot. The film also stars Teena Sravya, Master Rohan, and Narendra Ravi.
Thrillers, Crime, and Heartwarming Tales
For fans of crime dramas, Dhoolpet Police Station arrives on December 5 on the Aha platform. This web-series is set in Hyderabad and revolves around a police officer known for his unorthodox methods and the strange cases that land on his desk. The series features Chaitanya Sagiraju, Kancharapalem Raju, and Sivanarayana Naripeddi.
Already available for streaming on ETV Win is Karimullah Biriyani Point Nutakki. This heartwarming story follows Govind, an elderly man with a generous spirit who, along with two friends, embarks on a chaotic mini-adventure to raise money. His goal is simple: to buy his sick best friend Mary the biryani she loves for her birthday.
Multi-Language Fantasy and Where to Watch
Adding a fantastical twist to the week's offerings is Thamma, which premiered on December 2 on Amazon Prime Video. This unique film features Ayushmann Khurrana as a journalist who transforms into a betal (a mythical spirit) and falls for Rashmika Mandanna's character. Their "bloody love story" involves twists and a clash with Nawazuddin Siddiqui's character. The movie is releasing in multiple languages, including Telugu.
This week's OTT releases highlight the vibrant storytelling coming from the Telugu film industry, offering audiences a convenient way to enjoy a wide spectrum of narratives from the comfort of their homes.
