Nilakanta Finds New Buzz After OTT Debut

The recent Telugu film Nilakanta, starring Master Mahendran in the lead role, is enjoying a fresh wave of popularity after its digital premiere. The village-based drama, which received positive word of mouth during its theatrical run, is now streaming on Sun NXT and drawing strong attention from OTT audiences. Within hours of its release on the platform, the film reportedly clocked impressive viewership, reflecting the growing interest around Mahendran’s performance and the film’s emotional storyline.
Nilakanta features Neha Pathan, Yashna Muthuluri, and Sneha Ullal as the female leads and is produced by Marlapalli Srinivasulu and Venu Gopal De, presented by M Mamatha and M Rajarajeshwari. The film earned praise in theatres mainly for Mahendran’s performance, with audiences appreciating the maturity and intensity he brought to the central character. That appreciation appears to have carried over to its OTT release, with viewers sharing positive feedback across social media platforms.
Set in a rural backdrop, the story explores themes of childhood mistakes, the hero’s personal struggles, and his journey to win love, leading to his bold decision to enter village politics by contesting for the Sarpanch post. These elements, blended with emotion and grounded drama, seem to be connecting well with family audiences on digital platforms.
Ramki’s role has emerged as one of the strongest pillars of the film, with his performance adding emotional weight to the narrative. Mark Prashanth’s music and background score have also been highlighted by viewers as key strengths that elevate the film’s emotional moments and dramatic turns. With Nilakanta now trending on Sun NXT and continuing to attract viewers, the film appears to be finding a wider audience in its OTT run, giving it a strong second innings after theatres.
