Tamil & Telugu OTT Releases This Week

1. Mr. X (JioHotstar — May 14)

Cast: Arya, Gautham Ram Karthik, R. Sarathkumar, Manju Warrier, Athulya Ravi | Director: Manu Anand | Runtime: 2 hrs 26 mins

This high-octane spy thriller follows a RAW agent who turns rogue after a missing nuclear device sets off a dangerous global espionage chain. With a rogue syndicate, deep-state betrayals, and a race against time, Mr. X is tailor-made for fans who love their action laced with political intrigue. Arya and Gautham Ram Karthik together on screen? Consider it a must-watch this weekend.

2. Thimmarajupalli TV (Aha Video — May 15)

Cast: Sai Tej, Veda Jalandhar, Kiran Abbavaram | Director: V. Muniraju | Runtime: 2 hrs 4 mins

Set in a nostalgic 1996 village setting, this Telugu suspense drama centres around a single shared television — the pride and joy of an entire community. When it mysteriously vanishes, suspicion quickly falls on a local youth, unravelling hidden secrets in what looks like a simple rural community. Think Agatha Christie meets Telugu heartland. Aha Video subscribers are in for a slow-burn treat.

3. EXAM: The System Exposed (Amazon Prime Video — May 15)

Cast: Dushara Vijayan, Aditi Balan, Abbas, Vasundhara, Naren Mani | Director: A. Sarkunam

If you’ve ever felt the rage of seeing deserving students lose out to corruption, this one will hit home. EXAM follows Jhansi — a fierce young woman who goes undercover as a police officer to infiltrate the Regional Public Service Exam (RPSE) scam. As she digs deeper, the web of corruption grows darker and more dangerous. Dushara Vijayan and Aditi Balan headline what promises to be one of the most socially charged Tamil releases of the month.

4. Kaalidas 2 (SunNXT — May 12)

Cast: Bharath Niwas, Ajay Karthi, Sangita Madhavan Nair, Abarnathi, Ananth Nag | Director: Sri Senthil | Runtime: 2 hrs 17 mins

Already streaming! Kaalidas 2 kicks off on New Year’s Eve — a four-year-old girl vanishes from inside a seemingly secure apartment complex. Officer Kaalidas is called in and quickly realises residents are hiding far more than secrets. What starts as a missing child case spirals into a full-blown murder investigation. Teaming up with rookie DSP Vaishnavi, Kaalidas must crack the case before more lives are lost. Gripping, atmospheric, and a worthy sequel.
