Daaku Maharaaj Ott Verdict (Week 1) (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Nandamuri Balakrishna starrer Daaku Maharaaj was a losing affair at the Indian box office because of its massive 100 crore budget. The action-adventure drama premiered on Netflix on February 21, 2025, and has ranked among the Global top 10 non-English films. Scroll below for its Week 1 Ott verdict.

5th most viewed non-English film on Netflix

Daaku Maharaaj made a good debut on Netflix, garnering 2.4 million views from February 17 to 23, 2025. It ranked 5th among the Global top 10 non-English films. Nandamuri Balakrishna’s film was trending in the top 10 in as many as 13 countries this week.

The action-adventure remained behind Dhoom Dhaam, the only other Indian film in the top 10. Yami Gautam & Pratik Gandhi starrer landed at the second spot with its staggering viewership of 5.8 million in its second week. On the other hand, Kadhalikka Neramillai, which was at the 10th spot last week, has been pushed out of the list.

What Is The Rumor About Urvashi Rautela’s Daaku Maharaaj Remuneration? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Nandamuri Balakrishna’s Daaku Maharaaj recently debuted on Netflix after its theatrical run, and two rumors about the film have already surfaced, both involving Urvashi Rautela. The first rumor concerns her remuneration.

According to Et Now, she charged Inr 1 crore per minute for her performance, totaling Inr 3 crores for her three-minute appearance. Despite her previous films not performing well at the box office, her strong social media presence continues to make her a sought-after name. However, this also has drawbacks, as she frequently faces heavy online trolling.

The second rumor suggested that Urvashi Rautela was removed from the streaming version of Daaku Maharaaj. However, this claim lacked any solid basis. The speculation gained traction after a Netflix promotional poster did not feature her.

Urvashi Rautela can breathe easy. Recent reports of her scenes being removed from her new Telugu film Daaku Maharaaj for its Ott release on February 21 are completely false.

The fake news began doing the rounds after Netflix announced the Ott premier of Daaku Maharaaj. When Rautela’s face was missing from the poster, reports suggested her scenes were deleted for the Ott release.

“All cooked up! She is very much there. Not a single shot of hers has been removed from Daaku Maharaaj. We don’t know where these stories are coming from. They are baseless and concocted, planted to create some pre-release curiosity for vested interests,” a source from Netflix tells me.

Daaku Maharaaj, directed by Bobby Kolli, stars Nandamuri Balakrishna, Bobby Deol, Pragya Jaiswal, Shraddha Srinath, Chandini Chowdary, Pradeep Rawat, Sachin Khedekar, Shine Tom Chacko, Viswant Duddumpudi, Aadukalam Naren and Ravi Kishan.

Actress Akanksha Sharma plays the female lead. The movie is set to release on February 14, 2025, coinciding with Valentine’s Day.

Recently, the Censor Board reviewed Laila and gave it an ‘A’ (Adults Only) certificate.

But Laila is not an action or crime thriller making fans wonder about its content.

Many believe that the film has intense romantic and bold scenes leading to this classification. The Censor Board has also locked the movie’s runtime at 135 minutes. Due to the ‘A’ certificate, viewers under...

Mechanic Rocky Plot

The Vishwak Sen starrer revolves around a happy-go-lucky mechanic named Rocky who has to go against a dangerous landgrabber, Ranki Reddy (Sunil), to save his ancestral car garage. He faces several obstacles during his quest to do so. He furthermore also discovers some unexpected revelations while treading this tumultuous path.

When And Where To Watch Mechanic Rocky Online?

According to a new report in Track Tollywood, the Vishwak Sen starrer will be released on the Ott streaming platform Amazon Prime Video. The movie will be released on the streaming platform on December 19, 2024. It will be interesting to see...

Vishwak Sen, a rising star in Telugu cinema, brings his signature energy and charm to Mechanic Rocky, a film that is equal parts comedy, drama, and action. Directed by newcomer Ravi Teja Mullapudi, this movie stands out for its quirky plot, vibrant performances, and quintessential South Indian flavor.

Mechanic Rocky isn’t all bad—it has moments of humor, a couple of twists, and heartfelt performances. But the reliance on overdone clichés and an overstuffed screenplay keeps it from reaching its full potential. For die-hard Vishwak Sen fans, this movie might be worth a watch. For everyone else, it’s a decent one-time entertainer but nothing groundbreaking.

A plot full of twists

The story follows Rocky, aka Nagumomu Rakesh (played by Vishwak Sen), a mechanic and driving instructor working at his father’s garage. Trouble brews when Ranki Reddy (Sunil), a real-estate thug, plots to take over the garage for his gain.
