New Telugu Films Hit OTT Platforms in May 2024

May 2024 brings a diverse lineup of newly released Telugu films to popular OTT platforms like Aha, ETV Win, and Netflix. Movie enthusiasts can now enjoy a range of genres, from adult comedies to survival dramas, from the comfort of their homes. The digital debuts of these films not only provide a wider reach but also offer viewers the flexibility to watch them at their own pace and time.

One notable release is Happy Ending, an adult-comedy drama starring Yash Puri and Apoorva Rao. Despite its low-key buzz during its theatrical release on February 2, the movie failed to make an impact at the box office. Now, almost three months later, Happy Ending is making its digital streaming debut on Aha Video on May 3.

The movie follows the path of a 14-year-old boy who gets cursed by a Godman following a misunderstanding. As he grows up, his life takes a drastic turn after meeting a girl. Happy Ending features a talented cast, including Yash Puri, Apoorva Rao, Ajay Ghosh, Jhansi, Vishnu Oi, and others in key roles. Kowshik Bheemidi wrote and directed the film, which was produced by Yogesh Kumar, Sanjay Reddy, and Anil Pallala under the Hamstech Films and Sillymonks Studios joint banner.

Another exciting release is the Telugu dubbed version of the Tamil action thriller Asura Guru, starring Vikram Prabhu and Mahima Nambiar. The film, which follows Shakti, a thief who steals from the wealthy to help the common people, will be available on Aha OTT starting May 3.

ETV Win premiered the Telugu dubbed version of the Malayalam romantic drama Pranaya Vilasam on May 2, 2024. The film stars Mamitha Baiju, Arjun Ashokan, and Anaswara Rajan in lead roles.

Siddharth Roy, a Telugu movie directed by Yashaswi, will release on Aha OTT on May 3rd. The film tells the story of Siddharth Roy, a man driven by logic until he meets Indu, who changes his perspective on life. Starring Deepak Saroj and Tanvi Negi, the film received mixed reviews from critics and audiences.

Keerthy Suresh's upcoming Telugu movie Revolver Rita is set to release on Netflix, although details about the film's plot remain undisclosed. Fans are left to speculate whether it's a remake or an adaptation of an existing story.

The 2024 hit Malayalam movie Manjummel Boys will be available for streaming on Disney Hotstar from May 5, 2024, in Telugu and other languages. The survival drama follows 10 friends on an adventurous trip to the Guna caves in Kodaikanal.

Telugu film industry's continued embrace of the digital space will be interesting to see how these releases perform on OTT platforms and whether they can replicate the success of their theatrical counterparts. With the growing popularity of streaming services and the changing dynamics of movie consumption, the future of Telugu cinema looks promising, offering a balance between big-screen experiences and convenient home viewing options.
