Mid-May is a solid window for Telugu OTT. The theatrical releases from late March and April have cleared their exclusive windows and are hitting Aha and Prime Video now. Meanwhile the summer theatrical season is building toward its June anchor releases. Here is where everything stands in week three of May 2026.
What Just Hit Aha and Prime Video Telugu
Aha remains the primary Telugu-first OTT destination. Bheemla Nayak and Sarkaru Vaari Paata are Aha's biggest theatrical acquisitions and still in heavy rotation. Karthikeya 2 and Dasara — two films that surprised at the box office — are Aha exclusives that define the platform's content range. Prime Video Telugu has the Pushpa franchise, RRR, and Hanu-Man. Netflix Telugu holds Baahubali: The Beginning, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, Kalki 2898 AD, Devara: Part 1, and Salaar: Part 1.
