Mrithyunjay is a Telugu investigative action thriller starring Sree Vishnu in the lead role, with Reba Monica John as the female lead. The film released in theatres on March 6, 2026, directed by Hussain Sha Kiran (associate of Sukumar), and produced by Sandeep Gunnam & Vinay Chilakapati. Music is by Kaala Bhairava, with good sound design by Sync Cinemas.
Story in Short Sree Vishnu plays a clever cop or investigator in a crime thriller plot full of suspense, twists, and action. The story focuses on uncovering hidden truths, solving cases, and high-stakes drama. It runs for about 122 minutes (2 hours 2 minutes) with a U/A certificate (some intense scenes and suspense).
Theatrical Run & Reviews The film got mixed reviews. Some praised Sree Vishnu’s strong performance, the thrilling plot idea, action sequences, and direction style. Others felt the execution was weak, story predictable, or pacing slow in parts. Box office was average – not a big blockbuster, but decent for a thriller in mid-budget range. It appealed more to fans who like investigative stories over mass entertainers.
OTT Details Netflix has acquired the exclusive digital streaming rights for Mrithyunjay (confirmed by multiple reports, including pre-release deals where Netflix bagged it for a good price). The exact OTT release date is not announced yet (as of March 9, 2026). For Telugu films, OTT usually comes 4-6 weeks after theatres. So, expect it around April 2026 (possibly early to mid-April). It will stream in Telugu original, with possible dubs/subtitles in other languages like Hindi, Tamil, etc.
Why OTT Could Be Great On Netflix, thrillers like this often work better at home – you can pause during suspenseful moments, rewind to catch clues, or watch in one go without theatre distractions. The investigative style suits binge viewing. Edge cases: If you don’t like intense crime themes or slow-build suspense, it might feel average or draggy. Sensitive to violence or dark topics? Some scenes could be heavy. But for thriller lovers, it’s a good pick to watch comfortably.
This film shows Sree Vishnu trying different genres (after comedy in Vishnu Vinyasam the previous week). OTT will give it wider reach beyond theatres.
