If you’re looking to kick off the new year with something fun and offbeat, mark your calendars for 16th January — that’s when Gurram Paapi Reddy drops on Zee5! After its theatrical run late last year, this quirky Telugu comedy‑crime caper is finally coming home to OTT, and it might be just the kind of light‑hearted chaos you need right now.
Starring Naresh Agastya in the title role and Faria Abdullah as his equally determined partner‑in‑crime (literally), Gurram Paapi Reddy is one of those movies that thrives on its oddball energy and unpredictable twists. Alongside them, comedy veterans like Brahmanandam and funnyman Yogi Babu add plenty of laughs, making the whole ensemble feel like a grab‑bag of lovable misfits.
So what’s the story here? Well, Paapi Reddy isn’t your typical hero — he’s a guy whose failed chit‑fund business leaves him flat broke. Fate (and poor choices) bring him together with Soudamini, a medical aspirant who’s also been cheated out of her savings. Together with a motley crew of hopefuls, they hatch what they think is a genius plan involving transporting a dead body for a big payout. Only, as you might expect in a caper like this, things don’t go exactly to plan. Hilarity, chaos, and plenty of awkward moments follow as their idea unravels in all the best ways.
If you didn’t catch it in theaters, this is a great chance to see it from the comfort of your couch — especially if you’re into stories that blend crime and comedy without taking themselves too seriously. It’s exactly the kind of Telugu cinema concoction that’s perfect for a weekend binge.
Head over to Zee5 on the 16th of January to check it out — and maybe have a few laughs along the way with one of Telugu cinema’s more unpredictable rides of the season.
