Tamannaah Bhatia's supernatural thriller 'Odela 2' opened in cinemas today, April 17, 2025, and early box office reports suggest a decent start. The film is the sequel to the 2022 hit 'Odela Railway Station' directed by Ashok Teja.
According to Sacnilk, the film collected over Rs 8 lakhs on its opening day. In the Telugu market, 'Odela 2' recorded an overall occupancy of 15.82% for its morning shows, indicating a moderate turnout for a weekday release.
In the Hindi belt, 'Odela 2' saw a more subdued response, with an overall occupancy of 3.67% in morning shows on its first day. This suggests that while the film has managed to attract some attention outside its core Telugu-speaking audience, the primary traction remains in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, where the franchise and Tamannaah have a stronger following.
'Odela 2' is directed by Ashok Teja and is set in the culturally rich village of Odela, where the villagers look to their guardian deity, Odela Mallanna Swamy, for protection from evil forces. Tamannaah Bhatia takes on a never-seen-before role as Shiva Shakthi, a fierce devotee of Lord Shiva who stands as the village's shield against supernatural threats. The film has mystical visuals, including scenes shot along the ghats of Kashi, creating a spiritual and suspenseful atmosphere.
The cast features Hebah Patel, Vasishta N Simha, Murali Sharma, Sharath Lohitashwa, Yuva, Naga Mahesh, Vamshi, Gagan Vihari, Surender Reddy,
Srikanth Iyengar, Bhupal, and Pooja Reddy, among others.
The film's music is composed by B. Ajaneesh Loknath, giving a mystical tone.
The film has been awarded an 'A' certificate and runs for 2 hours and 30 minutes.
