Jatadhara review
Sonakshi Sinha makes her anticipated Telugu debut with Jatadhara in the negative character of a wicked demoness. The film is headlined by Sudheep Babu who battles against her demonic control. The film, directed by Abhishek Jaiswal and Venkat Kalyan, presents a fresh take on Indian mythology and ancient beliefs through a scientific and logical lens. The supernatural thriller also stars Shilpa Shirodkar, Indira Krishna, Ravi Prakash, Naveen Neni, Rohit Pathak, Jhansi, Rajeev Kanakala, and Subhalekha Sudhakar. It was released in theatres on November 7, 2025, but is it worth your time?
Shiva (Sudeep Babu) is a ghosthunter who does not believe in ghosts, asserting that everything is science. Driven by a past loss to prove that ghost don`t exists, his weekend thrill, while pursuing a corporate job, is to explore haunted places with his beeping equipment to find "energies"; nevertheless, he finds none. He discovers a haunted place, which he now wants to explore to prove the non-existence of ghosts. All this while, he is often woken up to dreams of floating in mid-air with his bed and every movable thing in his room and visuals of a woman trying to kill her child in its cradle.
