After creating intrigue in theatres, 'Odela 2', the supernatural thriller led by Tamannaah Bhatia , is all set for its digital premiere.'Odela 2' is a Telugu-language sequel to the 2022 film Odela Railway Station. While the first film was a gritty crime thriller based on real incidents from the Odela village in Telangana, the sequel pivots into a supernatural narrative.The original ended with the death of a brutal killer who targeted newlywed women, but 'Odela 2' picks up from there—with the killer's vengeful spirit now haunting the village.The story introduces Shiva Shakthi, a fierce Aghori and a devotee of Lord Shiva, played by Tamannaah Bhatia. She arrives in Odela with the sole mission of banishing the evil spirit and restoring peace to the troubled village. Tamannaah's transformation into a powerful spiritual force battling darkness is one of the film's most gripping elements.Directed by Ashok Teja and written by Sampath Nandi, Odela 2 features a strong ensemble cast that includes Hebah Patel, Vasishta N. Simha, Murali Sharma, Sharath Lohitashwa, Yuva, Naga Mahesh, and Vamsi in prominent roles.The film will start streaming on Amazon Prime Video from May 8, 2025, marking its global OTT debut. The official announcement was made by film publicist Vamsi Shekar via social media, who wrote, '#Odela2 streaming worldwide TOMORROW only on @primevideoin.'Check out our review first ! ETimes gave 2.5 star rating for the film and our review reads, 'Odela 2 is not for the faint-hearted—the film is rife with gore, bloodshed, and violent spiritual encounters. The horror sequences rely on familiar tropes and gradually lose their edge. The second half, in particular, drags and suffers from a lack of narrative urgency. Fortunately, the climax redeems the film to an extent, offering an emotionally charged and visually impactful payoff. Despite its flaws, 'Odela 2' is a bold attempt to push genre boundaries in Indian cinema. Watch it for Tamannaah's powerful transformation and the rooted horror setting. But don't expect a consistently gripping ride—this one's more atmospheric than arresting.'

Tamannaah Bhatia shares why actors are not open about undergoing beauty procedures Shefali Jariwala
Bollywood actors have often been trolled on social media for undergoing cosmetic surgeries. In a recent interview with Lallantop, Tamannaah Bhatia addressed the scrutiny faced by female actors over cosmetic treatments, particularly in the context of Shefali Jariwala's death. Tamannaah Bhatia on female actors facing criticism for cosmetic treatements.(Photos: X, Instagram) Tamannaah Bhatia on female actors facing scrutiny for cosmetic treatements Tamannaah talked about how anything that happens with the film people, turns into a discussion and said, "People need to understand that it is very easy to talk about people who are in the media glare. Because you know about their lives. There are so many people whose lives you don't know anything about, and you will never know also. In baton ke baare me hum bas charcha kar sakte hai. Isse hum kahi pahuchte nahi hai. (We can only discuss these things. This will not get us anywhere). I don't know how conclusive they are." Tamannaah went on to say that cosmetic procedures such as botox are no longer taboo, especially among the younger generation. 'Gen-Z kids are quite open about it. Jo bhi process karate hai, (whatever procedure they undergo), they are open about it. Koi bhi judgement ke through guzarna nahi chahta. Wo kuch kahenge toh unpe ungliya uthengi. (No one wants to go through judgment. If they say anything, fingers will be pointed at them.) There is a lot of judgment on people who are in films. Wo shayad comfortable nahi hai apne life me baare me share karne ke liye. (Maybe they are probably not comfortable sharing their life),' she said. Shefali Jariwala was found dead at her Mumbai residence on the night of June 27. While initial reports suggested a cardiac arrest, multiple sources later reported that she had taken glutathione injections — commonly used in anti-ageing treatments — prior to her death, which may have contributed to it. Tamannaah Bhatia's upcoming projects Tamannaah will next be seen opposite Sidharth Malhotra in Vvan: Force of the Forest. The film is produced by Balaji Motion Pictures and The Viral Fever (TVF) and is slated for release in May next year. She also stars in Amazon Prime Video's upcoming series Daring Partners, alongside Diana Penty, Nakuul Mehta, and Jaaved Jaaferi. The series is expected to premiere later this year.

Amazon Music strikes a new chord with podcasts, Prime and Alexa to stand apart
Audio streaming business continues to struggle in India, as most platforms offer similar music catalogues, lacking in novelty or innovation and failing to drive subscriptions. Amid a sea of soundalike tracks, Amazon Music is striking a new chord to soar above the noise. It is following a three-pronged approach to stay more relevant than the others. It is offering a completely ad-free experience that doesn't charge customers separately and is part of the Amazon Prime bundle along with video and shopping, a top company official said. It is also producing a range of exclusive podcasts and video content with artistes in addition to songs. And finally, it aims to benefit from the Amazon consumer tech ecosystem, including Fire TVs and Alexa devices that can help improve the listening experience. 'For us, the differentiation (from other players) comes from the fact that we are an ad-free, on-demand product. We're not charging customers separately because it's all within the Prime bundle," Rishabh Gupta, country head, Amazon Music India, said in an interview. 'On the content side, we do a lot of exclusive podcasts and bring fans closer to artistes via video IPs (intellectual properties)." As far as local languages go, the platform hosts content in 20-plus languages, with Hindi, English, Tamil, Telugu and Punjabi forming the top five, Gupta added. On the Android app, the user interface supports nine languages. The platform that has seen engagement surge since the pandemic. Gupta said that podcast customer listening hours are up 22% over 2024. While Hindi remains its most streamed language with an 84% customer spread, followed by English and Punjabi at 63%, Tamil and Telugu are witnessing strong growth, too, driven by curated regional playlists and improved discovery features. Gupta said the service is fully committed to being seen as a part of the Prime bundle and has witnessed great traction among consumers, in turn, helping the Prime program (including video and shopping) significantly. 'People who use multiple benefits have been some of our longest-serving Prime customers," Gupta added. As a DSP (distribution service provider), Gupta said the platform doesn't necessarily dictate as to what content needs to be produced. However, besides the music catalogue that comes via acquisitions from both from the film and non-film genres, Amazon Music is creating some of its own video and editorial IPs. This shoulder content, ranging from 2 to 20-minute videos, touches upon themes like what may be going on in an artiste's mind before going on stage at a concert, and so on. Further, while the platform is open to all kinds of podcasts, it targets some exclusive and early access deals as well. Podcast content now makes up approximately 15% of total user engagement on the platform. To be sure, the audio business in India, across regions and languages, is facing its share of challenges. Film producers, independent artistes and music labels are grappling with the shutdown of multiple streaming platforms, including Airtel's Wynk, ByteDance's Resso and Hungama Music, which failed to crack the paid subscription model. Others, such as Spotify, have halved per-stream payouts. Despite a rich musical heritage and wide consumption across the country, the Indian music segment declined by 2% to ₹5,300 crore in 2024, according to the annual Ficci EY media and entertainment report. Digital revenue, the biggest chunk of the segment, fell from 68% of total revenue in 2023 to 62.4% last year. The Indian music industry recorded 192 million free streamers in 2024, as compared to 12 million paid streamers, reaffirming that platforms have been forced to depend heavily on advertising revenue. However, Gupta is optimistic. 'India is an evolving country and a growing market for all kinds of businesses, including music, which is currently at the centre stage of the art and culture landscape. The space is constantly evolving with developments in technology and marketing, not to mention a continuous endeavour to grow bigger and better," Gupta said. 'As a country, we've advanced exponentially—just see how easy it is to make digital payments today and compare it to how it was three to four years back when we were all cash dependent. And while this has nothing to do with the music industry, it has aided the subscription economy, not just for the music industry, but for video-on-demand and everything else. So, every few years we see a new addition, mostly a better one, to the existing norms and processes that suddenly drive some sort of hockey stick growth for the industry, and I think for music, it's probably just around the corner," he added.
