The latest Telugu movie news from Tollywood: box office, release dates, OTT arrivals, trailers and what the stars are saying, updated through the day.

Chandra Kumar Bose, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's grandnephew, has called for the Fauzi teaser to be removed, alleging it misrepresents the freedom fighter's 1942 meeting with Adolf Hitler.

The first look arrived late on Prabhas' birthday. Fans got a glimpse — and a lot of questions. Mythri Movie Makers' most expensive project yet is now racing a March 2027 deadline that producer Ravi Shankar insists they'll hit. But the director has months of shooting left and a post-production mountain to climb.

Prabhas birthday glimpse from Fauji divides social media. Some question Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose appearance while others defend the period drama's promotional strategy.

Garividi Lakshmi, a small biopic on a Uttarandhra folk singer, has reportedly outgrossed Jailer 2 and Ranabaali in the region, with trade watchers calling its run unexpected and exhibitors expanding shows ahead of Diwali.

The trailer launched Thursday at a Hyderabad college. Venkatesh plays Chittibabu, a man with a past tied to a murderous robbery gang. Nara Rohith turns cop. Thaman's score is loud. Theatres get it in a week.

8 critics on 418: 7 mixed, 1 negative. Every verdict quoted, with ratings and links to the full reviews.

Taran Adarsh has praised Rajkummar Rao's performance as public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam in Prahaar, calling it a reminder of the actor's range as he continues portraying real-life figures on screen.

Mythri Movie Makers makes its horror debut with 418, a ₹6-8 crore Kannada thriller presented by Prashanth Neel, releasing pan-India in four languages on October 23.

Sailesh Kolanu has moved Emo Emo Idi off its October 30 slot to avoid a box office clash with Venkatesh's Aadarsha Kutumbam, both tied to producer Naga Vamsi. A new date is awaited.

Thaman's music for Venkatesh and Trivikram's Aadarsha Kutumbam has failed to generate buzz, with two singles getting a mixed-to-negative response just over a week before the film's October 30 release.

Producer Ravi Shankar defends 418's low-key marketing, says the horror film's private Bombay screening drew raves and that word of mouth, not ads, will carry it, with a simultaneous Hindi release also planned.

Crazy Kalyanam, starring Anupama Parameswaran and Tharun Bhascker, has collected only 97 lakh net in five days, unable to cross 1 crore even with a Dussehra holiday boost.

Ranabaali was supposed to be Vijay Deverakonda's comeback film. Instead, analysts point to his role choices, calling his mass-hero performance caricaturish and comparing his career slump to Nani's recent missteps.

The Telugu film 'Aadarsha Kutumbam House No. 47 – AK 47' will hit theatres globally on October 30, marking the first lead role collaboration between Venkatesh and director Trivikram Srinivas after two decades. The film features Srinidhi Shetty, Rohith Nara, and a star-studded ensemble cast.

6 critics on Crazy Kalyanam: 1 positive, 4 mixed, 1 negative. Every verdict quoted, with ratings and links to the full reviews.

The horror drama 418, Prashanth Neel’s first production under Mythri Movie Makers, releases on October 23 with a trailer that turns silence into a threat.

Prashanth Neel is producing his first non-directorial project — the horror film 418 — set for release on October 23, 2026. The film, directed by Kirtan Nadagouda, has been cleared by the CBFC with an A certificate and will stream on Netflix in four languages.

Mythri Movie Makers' upcoming horror thriller 418 unveils its release trailer, focusing on Room No. 418 in a shuttered hostel. The film follows Chaithra Achar's character as she confronts dark forces tied to her desire for motherhood.

Teja Sajja, known for films like Rangasthalam, is making his debut as host of The Traitors Telugu, premiering on Amazon Prime Video from October 15. In an interview with The Hindu, he revealed he had to suppress his natural energy to stay serious on camera.

Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s glowing review of Ranabaali has sent shockwaves through Telugu cinema. His praise for Vijay Deverakonda’s performance and the on-screen chemistry with Rashmika Mandanna — calling it 'beyond' chemistry — marks a pivotal moment in the film’s journey. With Vangaa’s endorsement, Ranabaali’s trajectory shifts from promising to inevitable.

After months of delays, Aadarsha Kutumbam is finally locking its release date — October 30. Producer Naga Vamsi confirmed the film will arrive on that date during a Jailer 2 success meet, saying it won’t change again. Venkatesh will make the official announcement at the upcoming trailer launch on October 21 or 22.

Nagarjuna has clarified that King 100 is currently a Telugu film and not planned as a pan-India project. He stressed that pan-India thinking creates unnecessary pressure on filmmakers, and any multilingual release will depend on the final output.

Nagarjuna is proud to be associated with Itllu Arjuna, calling it one of the best romantic films he’s seen in recent times. The film, starring Aniesh and Anaswara Rajan, releases on October 30.

10 critics on Ranabaali: 9 mixed, 1 negative. Every verdict quoted, with ratings and links to the full reviews.

Nani posted a heartfelt message ahead of Ranabaali's release, praising Vijay Deverakonda's transformation, Rashmika Mandanna's performance as Jayamma and director Rahul Sankrityan's attention to period detail.

Ranabaali (2026) — the Vijay Deverakonda-Rahul Sankrityan follow-up to their 2024 hit Golmaal Again — has landed in the U.S., and early reactions are… cautious.

The Telugu version of The Traitors kicks off with high drama: accusations fly, alliances fracture, and emotional outbursts mark the opening episodes. Streaming on Prime Video with English subtitles.

Ranabaali hits screens Thursday morning — and the chatter is already building. Just hours before its global release, the Vijay Deverakonda-starrer has surged into the conversation, not with a trailer or a song, but with early buzz from Twitter. A review attributed to Shravya Varma — shared by fans and amplified across platforms — calls it a career-defining turn for the actor, describing his n

The Traitors Telugu launches on Amazon Prime Video today, October 15, 2026, with 20 contestants in Mysore’s Lalitha Mahal. Teja Sajja hosts as Innocents hunt hidden Traitors.
