Shambhala out on OTT
Shambhala is a new-age mystic thriller that had to click at any cost, as the main lead, Aadi Saikumar, was going through a series of flops and badly needed a hit in his career. Well, the film has given him just that. Shambhala was a smash hit at the box office and is now out on OTTplay Premium.

We at OTTplay have already revealed that Aha has bagged the digital rights to the film and is streaming it now. You can also watch the film on OTTplay Premium.
Directed by Yugandhar Muni, Shambhala is a mystic thriller with Archana Iyer as the female lead. The film was already in a safe zone as Aha bagged the OTT rights for a whopping Rs 10 crore, pushing the makers into the profit zone even before its theatrical release.
Shambhala went on to collect Rs 25 crore at the box office as per the tracking portal Sacnilk, which is no mean feat, as Aadi is not a big star and had no strong market before the film’s release.
However, ever since the trailer was released, things changed big time, and Shambhala opened with solid hype. The film lived up to expectations and was declared a hit. Despite releasing alongside films like Dhandoraa and Champion, Shambhala stood its ground and emerged as a Christmas 2025 winner.
The film revolves around a small village that gets possessed by an evil spirit that descends from the sky. A scientist, played by Aadi Saikumar, arrives in the village to investigate the mystery. Things take a dramatic turn when the evil spirit starts killing people one after the other. How Aadi saves the village and the nature of the deadly curse haunting it form the crux of the story.
Director Yugandhar Muni kept the focus firmly on storytelling, avoiding typical commercial elements. The second half, in particular, delivers strong thrills and impressed audiences.
With solid hype surrounding its OTT release, it remains to be seen how many views Shambhala garners in the coming days. Those who missed it in theaters can now stream it on OTTplay Premium. Stay tuned for more updates on this thriller.
