OTT Releases This Week, Dec 18-21: Premante, Raju Weds Rambai, Nayanam and More!
This week brings a fresh dose of entertainment for Telugu OTT viewers, with five new original Telugu titles—spanning films and a web series—set to premiere across major streaming platforms. Here’s a closer look at what audiences can watch from the comfort of their homes.
Raju Weds Rambai
A surprise performer at the box office, Raju Weds Rambai is a small-budget romantic drama that generated strong buzz during its theatrical run. Directed by debutant Saailu Kaampati, the film features Akhil Raj Uddemari and Tejaswi Rao in the lead roles, with Chaitu Jonnalagadda playing the antagonist. The film’s rural backdrop, convincing performances, and shocking climax worked in its favour.
Premante
Starring Priyadarshi and Anandhi, Premante is a romantic comedy that failed to make an impact in theatres but is expected to find a wider audience on OTT. Directed by Navaneeth Sriram, the film will premiere on Netflix from December 19, 2025, and will be available in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.
Santhana Prapthirasthu
This bold Telugu film tackles the sensitive topic of male infertility with a blend of entertainment and emotion. Featuring Vikranth and Chandini Chowdary in lead roles, Santhana Prapthirasthu is directed by Sanjeev. After a lukewarm theatrical response, the film is set for its OTT debut on December 19 on Amazon Prime Video and Jio Hotstar.
Divyadristi
A suspense thriller starring Sunil, Isha Chawla, and Kamal Kamaraju, Divyadristi is gearing up for a direct digital release on Sun NXT from December 19. Directed by Kabir Lal, the web film revolves around a blind woman, played by Isha Chawla, who finds herself caught in a series of intense and mysterious situations.
Nayanam
Actor Varun Sandesh makes his OTT debut with Nayanam, a psychological thriller series directed by Swathi Prakash.

The series follows the dark story of a doctor who gains unusual powers and misuses them for sinister purposes.
