This week, platforms like Prime Video, JioHotstar, Sun NXT, Hoichoi, ETV Win, and ManoramaMAX are rolling out highly awaited releases that bring together superstars, experimental storytelling, and fresh genres. Here’s everything new dropping online this week.
Coolie – September 10 (Prime Video)
Rajinikanth is back in the action-packed Coolie (2025), directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film follows Deva (Rajinikanth), who vows to avenge the murder of his close friend Rajasekhar (Sathyaraj). His journey for justice leads him straight into the dangerous world of Simon (Nagarjuna), a ruthless criminal syndicate boss, and his aide Dayal (Soubin Shahir). Shruti Haasan plays Preethi, adding a layer of emotional resonance to Deva’s violent odyssey. With its stylized action sequences, crackling dialogues, and Rajinikanth’s charisma, Coolie is set to be one of the biggest OTT highlights of the month.
Su From So – September 9 (JioHotstar)
This Kannada horror-comedy is as quirky as its title. Su From So tells the story of Ashoka, a carefree young man whose innocent crush spirals into absurdity when the villagers become convinced he is possessed by the ghost of Sulochana from Someshwara. What begins as a romantic misadventure soon explodes into a series of supernatural rumors and comedic chaos, disrupting the calm of a coastal village. With Shanil Guru, JP Tuminad, Sandhya Arakere, and Raj B Shetty (in a special appearance), the film blends satire, humor, and folklore into an entertaining ride.
Rambo in Love – September 12 (JioHotstar)
A refreshing rom-com from Telugu cinema, Rambo in Love centers on Rambo, an entrepreneur on the verge of bankruptcy. Just when his business is about to collapse, Rambo finds himself entangled in a whirlwind romance that might save both his company and his heart. Directed by Ajith Reddy, the web series promises a mix of humor, emotion, and chemistry, capturing the dilemmas of balancing ambition and love.
Bakasura Restaurant – September 12 (Sun NXT)
Bakasura Restaurant is a Telugu horror-comedy with a uniquely middle-class flavor. It follows a man bogged down by unfulfilled dreams, who stumbles upon a supernatural entity that changes his life forever. Mixing everyday struggles with eerie hauntings, the film balances jump scares with humor and social commentary. Starring Vivek Dandu, Shining Phani, Harsha Chemudu, and Krishna Bhagavan, the movie serves up both laughs and frights.
Meesha – September 12 (Sun NXT)
Directed by Emcy Joseph, Meesha is a Malayalam suspense drama with a non-linear narrative. The story revolves around Midhun (Kathir), a forest warden who reunites with his friends Anandhu (Hakim Shahjahan) and Imodh (Sudhi Koppa) in a remote forest for a celebratory feast. As the night progresses, secrets from their pasts surface, revealing layers of social and personal conflicts. Featuring Shine Tom Chacko and Jeo Baby in strong supporting roles, the film is an atmospheric exploration of friendship, guilt, and survival.
BhootTeriki – September 12 (Hoichoi)
Blending horror with satire, BhootTeriki follows a documentary crew that enters a grand mansion in Kolkata to capture stories of three female ghosts, each from different eras of Bengal’s history. These ghosts narrate tales of love, betrayal, and loss, but with humor and poignancy. Soon, the crew realizes that death has its own vibrant afterlife. Directed by Kaushik Hafizee with Anirban Bhattacharya as creative director, the series promises chills with a playful undertone.
Kannappa – September 5 (Prime Video)
One of the most ambitious devotional dramas of recent times, Kannappa chronicles the journey of Thinnadu, a tribal warrior who transforms from an atheist to a fervent devotee of Lord Shiva. Produced by Mohan Babu and headlined by Vishnu Manchu, the film features a galaxy of stars including Preity Mukhundhan, Mohan Babu, R. Sarathkumar, and Madhoo. Adding to the spectacle are cameo appearances by Prabhas, Mohanlal, Akshay Kumar, and Kajal Aggarwal. Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, the film blends devotion, mythology, and cinematic grandeur.
Mouname Nee Basha – September 7 (ETV Win)
Released as part of the Katha Sudha series, this Telugu short film stars Rajiv Kanakala in a poignant performance. Directed by Vara Mullapudi, Mouname Nee Basha (translated as “Silence Is Your Language”) examines themes of unspoken love, quiet strength, and human connection. Though small in scale, the film resonates with emotional depth and intimacy.
Flask – September 4 (ManoramaMAX)
Kicking off the week, Flask is a Malayalam indie drama shrouded in mystery, with its makers keeping plot details under wraps. What is known, however, is that the film promises to explore intimate relationships and nuanced emotions in ways typical of Malayalam cinema’s realist storytelling tradition. With ManoramaMAX slowly carving a niche for streaming thought-provoking films, Flask looks to surprise viewers with powerful performances and a lingering aftertaste of authenticity.
With Coolie leading the charge, and a diverse mix of horror comedies (Su From So, Bakasura Restaurant), suspense dramas (Meesha), devotional spectacles (Kannappa), and indie experiments (Flask), this week’s South OTT lineup proves once again why regional cinema is at the forefront of storytelling innovation.
