After ruling the Sankranti box office, Anaganaga Oka Raju is now heading to living rooms.
The romantic comedy starring Naveen Polishetty is gearing up for its OTT debut following a successful theatrical run that reportedly crossed the ₹100 crore mark worldwide. For those who missed the laughter on the big screen, the wait to stream it at home is almost over.
📺 When and Where to Watch
Anaganaga Oka Raju is set to stream on Netflix from February 11, 2026. While the official announcement from the makers is still awaited, the release date has already surfaced on the platform, confirming its digital premiere.
The film is expected to stream in Telugu with subtitles.
🎉 A Sankranti Winner
Released in theatres on January 14, the Maari directorial emerged as one of the biggest surprise winners of the 2026 Sankranti season. Despite clashing with heavyweight releases like Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu and The Raja Saab, the film carved its own space at the box office.
According to Sacnilk, it earned over ₹82.65 crore worldwide in just 22 days, while the makers later claimed it crossed ₹100 crore gross globally. Overseas markets, especially the USA, also contributed significantly, with collections reportedly surpassing USD 1.6 million.
For a romantic comedy released amid big-ticket competition, that’s no small feat.
💘 What’s the Story About?
Directed by Maari, the film follows Raju (Naveen Polishetty), a small-town dreamer obsessed with wealth and luxury.
His grand plan? Win over Charulatha, played by Meenaakshi Chaudhary, the daughter of a wealthy landlord Bhupathi Raju (Rao Ramesh). With the help of his quirky friends, Raju launches “Operation Charulatha” — a calculated mission to secure love, approval, and ultimately, riches.
But just when everything seems to fall into place post-marriage, the script flips. Instead of inheriting fortune, Raju finds himself entangled in massive debt — leading to a string of hilarious twists and unexpected chaos.
The ensemble cast includes Rao Ramesh, Tarak Ponnappa, Goparaju Ramana, and Chammak Chandra, adding layers of comedy and drama.
🌟 Naveen’s Winning Run
With this film, Naveen Polishetty continues his streak after Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya and Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty. His brand of relatable humour, self-aware charm, and strong connect with both youth audiences and the NRI crowd has become a consistent box office draw.
Celebrating the milestone, the actor reflected on social media that the success of Anaganaga Oka Raju marked a deeply personal achievement after years of hard work.
🎯 Final Words
From theatres to OTT, Anaganaga Oka Raju is ready for its second innings. With sharp comedy, a relatable underdog arc, and Naveen Polishetty’s effortless screen presence, the film could find a fresh wave of viewers online.
If you missed the Sankranti laughter in cinemas, February 11 might be your chance to finally join the party.
