In Tollywood, a single friday decides who rises and who fades. Telusu Kada, releasing this diwali, isn’t just another romantic drama — it’s a career-defining gamble for Siddhu Jonnalagadda, Raashi Khanna, and Srinidhi Shetty.
All three are standing at a critical crossroads — haunted by past failures, starved for validation, and desperate for redemption.
This film could either reignite three fading stars… or bury their momentum for good.
🔥 1. Siddhu’s Redemption Ride — From “Tillu” to “Telusu Kada”
After the disastrous Jack, siddhu Jonnalagadda is carrying the weight of expectation and doubt.
He’s been trapped in the DJ Tillu hangover — audiences love his quirky energy but refuse to see him as anything else. Jack tried to reinvent him, but flopped miserably.
Now, Telusu Kada must prove he’s more than a one-character wonder. If this film clicks, siddhu earns the right to evolve. If it doesn’t, he risks being typecast forever.
🎭 2. Raashi Khanna — The Forgotten Star’s Last Big Shot
For Raashi, Telusu Kada isn’t just a comeback. It’s a survival mission.
She’s been away from telugu cinema for nearly three years. Her bollywood and tamil ventures fizzled out without making any noise.
Once the poster girl of commercial cinema, she’s now battling the “out of sight, out of mind” curse.
One strong performance in Telusu Kada could bring her back to the A-list — but another miss could push her further into irrelevance.
💫 3. Srinidhi Shetty — Glamour Isn’t Enough Anymore
She may have the KGF tag, but Srinidhi Shetty’s career hasn’t taken off the way fans expected.
Despite massive visibility from KGF and HIT 3, big telugu banners haven’t come knocking.
Telusu Kada is her chance to prove that she’s not just a pretty face carried by a blockbuster franchise — she’s an actress who can hold a story on her own.
If this film clicks, she finally earns her place in Tollywood’s lead actress league.
💣 4. The Neeraja Kona Factor — Stylish or Substance?
Director Neeraja Kona, known for her sense of fashion and flair, is taking a bold step into storytelling.
But can style translate to substance? The industry is watching closely. If Telusu Kada clicks, it could mark a rare female-director success in telugu commercial cinema — but if it flops, critics will write it off as “another glossy experiment gone wrong.”
⚔️ 5. diwali box office War — Make or Break Season
Releasing during diwali means Telusu Kada must fight not just for screens but for survival.
Holiday releases bring high stakes and fierce competition. With multiple biggies lined up, one weak word of mouth could sink it before Sunday.
But if it connects emotionally — it could ride the festive wave to box office gold.
🧨 CONCLUSION:
Telusu Kada is not just a movie.
It’s Siddhu’s redemption arc, Raashi’s resurrection, and Srinidhi’s reckoning — all rolled into one.
Three actors. One film. One weekend.
When the lights go down this diwali, careers will either rise like fireworks… or crash like ashes.
