‘Hathya’ OTT release: Where to watch the A-rated Telugu thriller in Malayalam and Tamil

The Telugu crime thriller Hathya, directed by Srividya Basawa, made its theatrical debut on January 24, 2025.


Starring Dhanya Balakrishna in the lead role, the film had a tough run at the box office due to competition from other major releases and received mixed reviews.


For those who have missed the theatrical experience of this thriller movie, ‘Hathya’ is officially streaming on Amazon Prime Video in Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam.

A gripping crime drama, ‘Hathya’ delves into the murky world of politics, family conflicts, and crime, drawing inspiration from real-life events. The film has sparked discussions among viewers, especially with its intricate storytelling and layered narrative.

The movie had received mixed reviews from the audiences during its theatrical release. One Twitter user wrote, “You can craft a movie around any concept in any style, but expecting audiences to endure a biased narrative without substantial details about a sensational case is amateurish and, frankly, childish. #Hathya comes off as another poorly executed film inspired by "biopics" in the vein of RGV's work, lacking the depth of a true biography or the quality of a decent film.” Another Twitter review read, “#Hathya (Telugu) {2.5/5}—Racha Racha.”

The story revolves around Kiran Reddy, who assumes the role of Chief Minister following the shocking murder of his brother, JC Dharmendra Reddy. This mysterious death leads to a high-stakes investigation spearheaded by IPS officer Sudha. As she delves deeper, she uncovers hidden betrayals, political conspiracies, and unexpected connections that complicate the case. The involvement of Dharmendra’s daughter Kavita and his associate Salima adds more intrigue to the unfolding mystery. With each revelation, Sudha pieces together a web of secrets that could shake the political landscape.

As the thriller is out on OTT, it can be expected that ‘Hathya’ will find more audiences from Malayalam and Tamil, especially.
