8 Vasantalu, a new romantic drama produced by the makers of Allu Arjun’s blockbuster Pushpa, has finally arrived on Netflix. The film, directed by Phanindra Narisetti, who got a second chance despite his first film flopping, released to mixed reactions.
Though the movie didn’t do well at the box office, the makers expect it to find a new audience on the streaming platform. Fans can watch it from July 11, 2025 onwards.
Behind 8 Vasantalu: New Faces and Big Expectations
Phanindra Narisetti chose a simple love story for his second film. The leads are mostly fresh faces, with Malayalam actress Anantika Sanilkumar as the heroine.
The film tells the story of a young writer who falls in love twice but faces rejection both times. The first half shows this in an interesting way.
Though the second half slowed down, the overall feel fits well for viewers watching at home.
Why 8 Vasantalu Was in the Headlines?
The film attracted attention because it was made by Mythri Movie Makers, the same producers behind Pushpa.
Phanindra’s bold comments about his debut film stirred up some controversy. Critics and fans were curious to see his new work.
The music by Hesham Abdul Wahab and stunning visuals also grabbed attention before the release.
From Theaters to Netflix: A Quick Move
Despite heavy promotion and special premieres, the film flopped at the box office. Soon after, the cinematographer revealed that Netflix had bought the digital rights.
This means viewers can enjoy the movie’s vibrant colors and music on the small screen. Streaming starts less than a month after the theatrical release, on July 11, 2025.
OTT Release: A Second Chance for 8 Vasantalu
The makers are hopeful that the songs’ popularity and Netflix’s wide reach will draw more viewers.
This romantic drama may click better with fans who like slower, mood-driven stories.
