Samantha Ruth Prabhu's Subham OTT release date confirmed: When and where to watch the Telugu horror-comedy?
After a moderately successful theatrical run, Samantha Ruth Prabhu's debut production Subham is now gearing up for its OTT debut. The Telugu-language horror comedy, directed by Praveen Kandregula, is confirmed to stream exclusively on JioHotstar starting June 13, 2025. The film initially premiered in theatres on May 9 and is now preparing to reach a wider audience online. From ZEE5 Exit to JioHotstar Deal The digital release of Subham faced a delay due to a sudden change in OTT partnerships. Originally, the film had secured a deal with ZEE5 for both digital and satellite rights. However, following underwhelming box office collections on the first day, ZEE5 reportedly attempted to renegotiate the agreement. The fallout led Samantha to terminate the deal and strike a new partnership with JioHotstar. The platform officially announced the streaming date with a promotional poster, confirming the June 13 release. — JioHotstarTel_ (@JioHotstarTel_) by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like O carro de Paolla Oliveira choca o mundo inteiro, a prova em fotos! Boite A Scoop Undo Set in the pre-internet era of early 2000s Bheemili, Subham blends supernatural elements with comedy. The story follows Srinivas, a modest cable operator, and his wife Srivalli, an MBA graduate, whose life turns unsettling when Srivalli begins behaving strangely every night at 9 PM. Srinivas eventually discovers that multiple women in their village are facing similar unexplained behavior during the same hour. The bizarre pattern leads to a deeper mystery involving a spiritual attachment to a television serial titled Janma Janmala Bandham. Creative Plot and Fresh Talent The film's plot takes a humorous turn as three local friends, who manage the town's only cable network, attempt to resolve the possession issue by creating an alternate ending to the serial. Subham showcases a young and relatively new cast including Harshith Reddy, Gavireddy Srinivas, Charan Peri, Shriya Kontham, Shravani Lakshmi, Shalini Kondepudi, and Vamshidhar Goud. Samantha also appears in a brief cameo as Maya Matasri and is featured in a promotional song of the same title as the serial within the film. The screenplay is written by Vasanth Mariganti, while Raj Nidimoru served as the creative producer. The film's music is composed by the duo Shor Police, with Vivek Sagar handling the background score. Mridul Sujit Sen led the cinematography. The production was backed by Samantha's Tralala Moving Pictures in collaboration with Kanakavalli Talkies. Although it started slow at the box office, the film's clever narrative and performances helped it recover commercially, reportedly making profits on a Rs 10 crore budget. Samantha's strategic promotions across Telugu states played a major role in the film's turnaround. The horror comedy has been particularly appreciated for its unique concept and humorous commentary on entertainment's impact on women in rural India. With a growing fan base and digital release just around the corner, Subham is expected to find renewed interest among family audiences.

Subham movie review: A wacky, hilarious fable about female desire and masculinity
Also the writer of Cinema Bandi, Vasanth Maringanti explores some sharp themes while scripting this madcap fable about feminism and masculinity. Subham has the kind of unique premise that could go completely haywire while indulging in its wacky possibilities — but here, the narrative constantly moves in the right direction and escalates the tension amidst its many hilarious set-pieces. Among the three male protagonists we have here, there is one of each kind — the one who is confused, the one who follows, and the one who leads. The last one (played by Srinivas Gavireddy), who also proclaims to be an 'Alpha male,' delivers the funniest moments as he gradually gets emasculated in the most uproarious of demeanors. In one of the developments, the 'Alpha' suggests a way that could help them get rid of their problem with ghosts. As that solution misfires later on, the three men learn one thing — they don't understand their wives. And at the core of it, that's what Subham is about — it redefines masculinity as the ability to understand and empathise with the women in your lives. In an amusing throwaway visual, the protagonist's friends stop him from getting down on his knees — even when he wants to make a proposal. There are bona fide commandments for being an 'Alpha,' and none of them include asking for help — something they unlearn with each hurdle in their journey of becoming a 'good husband.' Of course, Subham, for its all satirical tropes, is an optimistic movie — so the men come around. Yet, this doesn't take away from the film's biting moments of satire earlier where it takes a dig at the current obsession with 'alpha' masculinity. There are so many delightfully absurd devices at play here. In a hilarious turn of events, the two worlds, divided by a TV screen, collide as the fandom directly confront their favourite screen idol, reprimanding him for everything problematic about his long-running TV show. Even the name of the TV show — 'Janma Janmala Bandham' (a bond spanning many lifetimes) — is a fabulous dig at how the world thrives in creating a never-ending quest for peace, instead of helping cultivate a society where the viewers don't seek a closure with such desperation. Later on, as the three wives sit down to write the perfect way to exorcise their own ghosts, you wonder if the writer is making a point about giving a space to their supressed voices, creating a world where everyone is equally listened to before the big decisions are made. It's also interesting that the film stages Srivalli and her husband (Harshith Reddy) as the protagonist couple — for it also gives us a peek into the inner life of a woman who lives with her in-laws, the most common family system in the Indian middle class. At one point, Srivalli, a working woman, feels guilty of distancing her husband because of her strong-headed personality, and suddenly starts behaving like a homemaker. You feel a tinge of fear, watching this moment unfold, knowing Telugu cinema's tendencies to domesticate their 'strong women' — but that is where Subham stands apart. The writer-director team stage this moment as a momentary fear felt by Srivalli, not a permanent, personality-moulding experience. Srivalli's fears, of not being an 'ideal housewife,' should be transient — and the team knows it. Vivek Sagar deserves a special mention for his funky background music that keeps up with the manic energy of the narrative. Cinematographer Mridul Sujit Sen captures Bheemilipuram with disarming idyllicism and beauty — it looks like a town you want to settle down in, despite all its horrors. While all the lead actors — Harshith Reddy, Shriya Kontham, Gavireddy Srinivas, Charan Peri, Shravani Lakshmi, Shalini Kondepudi — put in commendable performances, Shriya and Srinivas particularly stand out. Among the ensemble cast, Rag Mayur makes a delightful appearance in a special cameo. Samantha Ruth Prabhu too flourishes in her brief cameo, bringing great deadpan humour to her scenes.
