Dhanush-Rashmika's Kuberaa OTT release date announced. When and where to watch and language versions
After making a strong impression in theatres, Kuberaa—the socio-political drama starring Dhanush—is all set for its OTT debut later this month. Directed by National Award-winner Sekhar Kammula, the film originally released in cinemas on June 20, 2025, and will now begin streaming on Amazon Prime Video from July 18, 2025. The film, which blends personal aspirations with political upheaval, will be available in five languages—Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi—ensuring it reaches a wide and diverse OTT audience across India. Dhanush headlines the film as Deva, a role that has earned praise for its intensity and restraint. To celebrate the actor's 23 years in cinema, the makers had unveiled a striking poster in May showcasing his gritty look from the film—an image that quickly went viral.

Nagarjuna's role is particularly layered and pivotal, while Rashmika portrays a woman disillusioned with her middle-class existence.

‘Panchayat' Season 4 X Review: Jitendra Kumar, Neena Gupta's series is called 'emotional and sharp' as Manju Devi vs Kranti Devi heats up Phulera
The much-loved series 'Panchayat' is back with its fourth season, starring Jitendra Kumar , Neena Gupta , and the whole Phulera gang. Released at midnight on June 24, the new season has already caught the attention of many binge-watchers. Fans have taken to social media to share their thoughts on the latest episodes, making it clear that 'Panchayat' still holds a special place in their hearts. Politics takes centre stage This season dives straight into the local elections, setting up a face-off between Manju Devi and Kranti Devi. It's not just about politics, though—it's about people, emotions, and village life in its rawest form. One fan wrote, 'Binged the entire season, and I must say, #Panchayat4 remains as relatable and heartwarming as its predecessors. ❤️ This season skillfully blends comedy, emotion, and intense drama, as the story revolves around the elections in Phulera. It's MANJU DEVI VS KRANTI DEVI.. and it beautifully captures the grassroots political machinery in all its chaotic glory… The silences, the unspoken words — they stay with you. ✨' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Binge-worthy, but opinions split Many fans raced through all episodes in one go. 'Good night, binge watched #panchayatseason4' Another post read, 'Binged #panchayat season 4 on @PrimeVideoIN , I'm positive i won't be able to sleep after what is just witnessed, subtle, Desi yet entertainment overdose, hatsoff to all the people behind this✌️ can't wait for season 5 already 😭' But not everyone was fully satisfied this time around, A viewer wrote, 'Finished #panchayatseason4, dragged storyline, less comedy,more emotional as compared to previous seasons,but still fav.🤩(Why endings like these every season😏)#PanchayatOnPrime' More emotion, less humour While the earlier seasons struck a perfect balance between laughs and emotional depth, this season leans more on the emotional side. Some fans appreciated this, calling the show a complete cinematic experience. '#PanchayatSeason4 is not just a show it's an institution of cinema. A masterclass in storytelling, screenplay & emotion. It makes you laugh, it makes you cry every frame speaks. Some victories don't bring joy. Some victories hurt more than defeat. That's real. That's #Panchayat' One particular episode stood out for many, 'Panchayat Season 4 peaks at "Ashirvaad" (Episode 5). Not as good as previous seasons. Politics is the major plot, can't help but compare with previous seasons. @malikfeb is always a treat to watch ❤️' Some criticism from loyal fans Even the most loyal viewers had a few complaints. They noticed the slower pace, less comedy, and slightly stretched plot. '#panchayatseason4 is a step up but feels stretched with less humor. The love angle adds charm but lacks depth. Prahlad's role shows promise & Pradhan's arc could be key next season. A tighter screenplay is needed else dragging it further may do more harm than good.' Still a favourite for many Despite the minor drawbacks, the love for 'Panchayat' remains strong. The simple storytelling, loveable characters, and slice-of-life charm still connect with audiences. 'Hi @TheViralFever, Panchayat Season 4 once again proves why Panchayat is a storytelling gem. With every episode, it masterfully balances lighthearted village misadventures and deeper emotional undercurrents.🧡Now… Awaiting Season 5✨' The cast that fans have grown to adore returns with their strong performances, Jitendra Kumar, Neena Gupta, Raghubir Yadav, Sanvikaa, Chandan Roy, Durgesh Kumar , Ashok Pathak, Faisal Malik, Sunita Rajwar, and Pankaj Jha . Each one continues to bring life to the Phulera village story. Etimes Review According to Etimes review, the season may not be as fresh as before. While it keeps its original mood and format, the review points out that there's a lack of story progression. It reads, 'While 'Panchayat' still carries its signature charm and simplicity, it's clear the new season treads familiar ground. The show continues its format of building entire episodes around small incidents, often without contributing to a larger narrative arc… Creative fatigue shows, especially in the fifth episode featuring Manju Devi's father—a subplot that adds absolutely nothing to the story…' Panchayat Season 4 Trailer: Jitendra Kumar, Neena Gupta, Raghubir Yadav, Faisal Malik, Chandan Roy and Sanvikaa Starrer Panchayat Season 4 Official Trailer
