The Telugu romantic comedy Telusu Kada, starring Siddu Jonnalagadda, Raashi Khanna, and Srinidhi Shetty, hit theatres on October 17, 2025, but opened on a sluggish note.
According to early trade reports, the film collected around ₹2 crore net on Day 1. The overall occupancy rate across Telugu states was 27.92%, with night shows seeing the highest turnout at nearly 39%.
Written and directed by Neeraja Kona, the film faces stiff competition from other big releases like Dude and K-Ramp.
Telusu Kada opened to mixed to negative reviews, with critics pointing to a weak, predictable, and sluggish script, especially in the second half.
While Siddhu Jonnalagadda’s quirky dialogues and Srinidhi Shetty’s layered performance earned some appreciation, critics agreed that strong performances alone couldn’t save the film from its lackluster writing and pacing.
