However, ever since the trailer was released, things changed and a positive buzz was created ahead of the film’s release. The mystic thriller opened to positive talk and is now set for an OTT release on January 22, 2026, on Aha and OTTplay Premium. Here are four reasons to stream the film on OTT.

Unique Theme

One of the main reasons the film clicked was its unique storyline. Shambhala is about a small village that gets possessed by an evil spirit that falls from the sky. Who it is and why it has targeted the village form the crux of the story. The manner in which mythology has been interlaced with science is quite interesting, and those who love gripping thrillers with proper logic will enjoy the film.

Amazing Thrills

Shambhala delivers strong thrills throughout. Right from the first scene, the director creates multiple tense moments that keep the audience on their toes. The twists showcased in the second half are engaging and end the film on a thumping note. The way in which each important character meets their end is presented in a gripping manner.

Performances

Aadi Saikumar plays the lead role, and his performance is one of the film’s highlights. Another standout is Ravi Varma, whose portrayal of a possessed character is impressive. Though Shambhala does not feature big stars, a few familiar actors appear in key roles and keep viewers engaged with their performances.

Crisp Runtime and Religious Sentiments

Shambhala has a crisp runtime of under two hours and twenty minutes, making it a breezy watch. Many who skipped the film in theatres are likely to check it out on OTT, as the religious sentiments blended with fantasy drama are quite relatable.

The film is directed by Yugandhar Muni and was made on a very low budget. Aha has bagged the digital rights for a reported Rs 10 crore, which indicates the strong confidence in the film’s OTT potential.

At a time when audiences largely prefer star-driven films in theatres, Shambhala still managed to draw viewers and is expected to perform even better on OTT. The film will also be available to stream on OTTplay Premium from January 22, 2026.
