Srinivasa Mangapuram OTT release: Ajay Bhupathi’s Srinivasa Mangapuram released in theatres three weeks ago to mixed reviews. The film starring Mahesh Babu’s nephew, Jaya Krishna, in his debut film, and Raveena Tandon’s daughter, Rasha Thadani, is now streaming online. Know when and where to watch it just 21 days after its theatrical release. It made less than ₹10 crore worldwide.
Srinivasa Mangapuram is written and directed by Ajay Bhupathi. Produced by P Kiran under Chandamama Kathalu Pictures LLP. C Ashwini Dutt of Vyjayanthi Movies presented it. The film marks Jaya’s on-screen debut and Rasha’s Telugu debut after her on-screen debut with the Hindi film Azaad last year.
Mohan Babu, Naresh, Shaam, Brahmaji, Ajay and others play key roles in it. The film was released in theatres on July 30 and received mixed reviews. It received criticism for its outdated script and formulaic structure. Mahesh had been vocal in his support for Jaya before the film’s release, but it did not help. According to the trade website Sacnilk, the film collected ₹5.55 crore net in India and grossed ₹6.56 crore worldwide.
Ajay had directed RX 100 (2018), Maha Samudram (2021), and Mangalavaaram (2023) before Srinivasa Mangapuram. Before the film’s release, he told Hindustan Times, “It’s not your usual love story. This is a love story, but it is going to be very rugged. It’s emotional and has an innocence to it. It’s going to be a story in my style.”
“I always hoped to find good actors who are newbies to play these characters, and I’m lucky to have found them in Jaya and Rasha.” He also stated that Rasha was supposed to debut in Telugu and not with Azaad. “We selected her before her song (Uyi Amma) became famous,” he added. Jaya plays Vasu, and Rasha plays Manga in the film. It remains to be seen if Srinivasa Mangapuram will be better received online.
