Gurram Paapi Reddy Movie OTT Release Date
Gurram Paapi Reddy is set to stream on OTT from 16 January 2026, just in time for the Sankranti long-weekend couch-marathon plans. There’s something very “perfect timing” about a dark comedy dropping right when everyone is juggling festival visits, food comas, and that familiar “ok, what do we watch now?” moment at home.
The film had a modest theatrical run in December 2025, picked up some warm word-of-mouth, and is now making its digital jump less than a month after release, which feels pretty much like the new normal for mid-budget Telugu movies.
What helps is that this isn’t a heavy, message-loaded film; it’s more of a “laugh, wince, laugh again” kind of crime-comedy built around a corpse-swapping plan that obviously goes sideways.
People who caught early shows in theatres have already been recommending it as a chill family watch (minus very small kids), the sort of movie that lands well during festival downtime when everyone wants something fun but not totally brainless.
Where to Watch Gurram Paapi Reddy Movie?
Gurram Paapi Reddy will be available to stream exclusively on ZEE5 in India from January 16, 2026. So if the plan is to watch it legally in HD, a ZEE5 subscription (or borrowing that one cousin’s login everyone secretly uses) is the straightforward route.
ZEE5 has already started promoting the film with its own trailer and artwork, clearly positioning it as one of their Sankranti-week titles.
A small but useful note: earlier aggregator pages had “no streaming offer yet” against the title, but those were from the pre-announcement days and are now outdated.
The current, official status is simple enough, it’s a ZEE5 original digital premiere, not a multi-platform drop, so don’t expect it on Netflix or Prime Video anytime soon.
Gurram Paapi Reddy Cast
The movie features Naresh Agastya as Gurram Paapi Reddy, leading a quirky ensemble that includes Faria Abdullah, Brahmanandam, Yogi Babu, Rajkumar Kasireddy and others.
It’s the kind of casting that immediately signals “this is going to be chaotic in a fun way” – a mix of newer faces and veteran comedy legends.
-
Naresh Agastya – plays Paapi Reddy, the man at the centre of this entire graveyard mess.
-
Faria Abdullah – brings her offbeat charm as Soudamini, adding both humour and emotional grounding.
-
Brahmanandam – appears in a full-length role as Judge Vaidyanathan, which many fans have been genuinely excited about, since long, meaty parts for him are rare these days.
-
Yogi Babu – shows up as Udraju, adding that distinctly Tamil-comedy flavour into a Telugu setup.
Along with them, there are familiar character actors like Rajkumar Kasireddy, Vamshidhar Goud Kosgi, Jeevan Kumar, John Vijay and Motta Rajendran, all of whom help the film lean hard into that “everyone’s slightly shady, everyone’s slightly funny” crime-comedy zone.
About Gurram Paapi Reddy
Gurram Paapi Reddy is a Telugu dark comedy crime caper about a risky corpse-swapping mission that starts in a graveyard and spirals into a mess involving a royal family and a missing heir.
Directed by Murali Manohar Reddy, with a story by Poorna Pragna, the film mixes mystery, village politics, and absurd situations in a way that feels very rooted yet slightly exaggerated – in that “this totally couldn’t happen… but maybe it could?” way.
The basic setup is simple but juicy:
-
A man hires three people to secretly swap a dead body from one grave to another.
-
The team slowly realises the job is not what they were told, and that they’re now tangled in something bigger and more dangerous.
-
Parallelly, a royal family is searching for Gurram Paapi Reddy, and questions about property, identity, and motive start piling up.
Critics have described it as a decent, laughter-filled ride rather than a masterpiece, and that actually suits the OTT space perfectly – it’s the sort of film people put on after dinner, end up laughing more than expected, and then spend ten minutes arguing about which supporting character stole the show.
