Telugu Movies On OTT That Crossed Rs 100 Crore In 2024
HanuMan (Zee5)
‘Hanu-Man’ is a 2024 Indian Telugu superhero film directed by Prasanth Varma and produced by Primeshow Entertainment. It stars Teja Sajja as the lead, with Amritha Aiyer, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Samuthirakani, Vinay Rai, Vennela Kishore, and Raj Deepak Shetty.
Released on January 12, 2024, on the auspicious occasion of Sankranti, ‘Hanu-Man’ received rave reviews from critics who praised Prashanth Varma's direction, screenplay, cast performances, depiction of Lord Hanuman, background score, visual effects, production design, and action sequences. The film shattered multiple box office records for a Telugu production, grossing over ₹350 crore (US$44 million). It emerged as the top-grossing Telugu film, South Indian film, and Indian film of 2024, and ranks eighth in all-time highest-grossing Telugu films worldwide. A sequel is currently in the works.
Guntur Kaaram (Netflix)
‘Guntur Kaaram’ is a 2024 Indian Telugu action drama directed by Trivikram Srinivas and produced by S. Radha Krishna under Haarika & Hassine Creations. The film stars Mahesh Babu, Sreeleela, Meenakshi Chaudhary, Prakash Raj, Ramya Krishna, Jayaram, Jagapathi Babu, Sunil, and Rao Ramesh.
On January 12, 2024, ‘Guntur Kaaram’ hit theaters worldwide, coinciding with the Sankranti festival. Unfortunately, the film faced criticism from critics for Trivikram's direction, screenplay, storyline, and Thaman's background score and soundtrack. However, Babu's performance was lauded amidst the unfavorable reviews. Regrettably, the film failed to perform well at the box office, marking it as a commercial disappointment.
Tillu Square (Netflix)
‘Tillu Square’ is a 2024 Indian Telugu romantic crime comedy directed by Mallik Ram and produced by Suryadevara Naga Vamsi under Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas. It's a sequel to the 2022 film ‘DJ Tillu’, featuring Siddhu Jonnalagadda reprising his role and Anupama Parameswaran as the female lead.
‘Tillu Square’ stands out as one of the largest Telugu films without a Tier-1 box office star. The movie grossed Rs 135 crore worldwide. It falls second only to ‘Hanuman’ (earning Rs. 244 crore), which premiered earlier this year.
