Director Ajay Bhupathi Shares OTT Release Message
Director Ajay Bhupathi, known for films like RX 100 (2018), Maha Samudram (2021), and Mangalavaaram (2023), also shared the OTT release update with his followers. He encouraged viewers to watch the film and share their thoughts.
“A story filled with love, pain, emotions and action! Bringing the world of #SrinivasaMangapuram to your home screens now. Do watch it and share your views!”
Before the film’s theatrical release, Bhupathi had described it as a rugged love story with emotional depth. He also mentioned that he was fortunate to find new actors like Jaya and Rasha for the lead roles.
The Story of Srinivasa Mangapuram
The film is set in the temple town of Tirupati and follows the journey of Sreenu, also known as Vasu Babu, played by Jaya Krishna Ghattamaneni. Sreenu arrives in Tirupati from Ballari and stays with a singer named Balu. He soon falls in love with Manga, the daughter of a powerful faction leader named Peddi Reddy, played by Rasha Thadani.
Despite Manga’s repeated rejections and her marriage being fixed with another man, Sreenu refuses to give up on his feelings. The story takes a dramatic turn when Sreenu saves Peddi Reddy’s men from a rival group, which leads to the revelation of his true identity and his connection to the powerful Venkatappayya Naidu.
The plot then moves to a flashback in Ballari, revealing Vasu’s past, his childhood connection to Manga, and the family conflict that forced him to hide his identity. When rival groups close in on the couple, Vasu returns to Tirupati to protect Manga. He faces opposition from both Peddi Reddy’s group and his own family, fighting to overcome the long-standing conflict and secure a future with the woman he loves.

Mixed Reviews and Audience Response
The film received mixed reviews during its theatrical run. Some critics and viewers praised the performances, while others criticized the predictable screenplay and formulaic story. A section of the audience called it a “forgettable debut” with a dull love story.
“Routine screenplay and weak comedy hold the film back, but Jai Krishna leaves a good first impression.”
Some viewers, however, appreciated the film as a complete entertainer with strong action sequences and dialogues.
“SrinivasaMangapuram is a winner! A complete entertainer with engaging storytelling, powerful fights, energetic dances, and superb dialogues.”
Despite the mixed response, the film’s early OTT release gives it a chance to reach a wider audience who may not have watched it in theatres.
