Top 5 Reasons You’re Not Excited for Jatadhara 2025 Movie

MUMBAI, November 6, 2025 — The new movie Jatadhara, starring Sudheer Babu and Sonakshi Sinha, is hitting theaters tomorrow. It is a big action-adventure and supernatural thriller. The movie is releasing in both Telugu and Hindi. The team has promoted the film widely. They have released multiple trailers and songs. Still, a strong excitement or “buzz” is missing among a large number of movie lovers.

Trade experts are predicting a moderate opening for the film, especially in the Hindi market. The Telugu market might see a slightly better start. However, the pre-release hype is not what one expects from such a big project.

Top 5 Reasons You’re Not Excited for Jatadhara 2025 Movie

Here are the top five reasons why many people are not feeling the rush of excitement for Jatadhara.

Tell us in comments, are you Excited or even going to watch Jatadhara in the Cinema or on Mobile?

1. The Cast Does Not Bring “Mass” Appeal

The film features Sudheer Babu in the lead role. He is a talented actor. He has given good performances in many different kinds of movies. However, he is still waiting for that one massive, pan-India box office hit. His previous films have not been huge successes outside of a niche audience.

Next, we have Sonakshi Sinha. She is making her Telugu debut in a very intense role as a “Pishachini” (a vengeful spirit). While she is a popular Bollywood face, her recent movie choices have not created huge box-office records. For a big-budget, bilingual film, the audience expects a lead pair with a bigger guarantee of a huge opening day collection.

2. Too Much Focus on a Niche Genre: Supernatural Thrillers

Jatadhara is an action-adventure supernatural thriller. The story focuses on Indian mythology, black magic, and ancient rituals. The filmmakers say they did deep research on the Tantric rituals shown in the movie. They even got an ‘A’ certificate from the censor board.

This genre can be very interesting. But it is also a niche genre. Many Indian moviegoers, especially family audiences, prefer light-hearted movies or clear-cut action films. The intense theme of black magic and dark spiritual forces may not appeal to everyone. This limits the film’s potential to attract a huge crowd on the first day.

3. Clashing with Another Major Release

The film releases on November 7, 2025. It faces a direct box office clash with another movie, Haq. Haq is a courtroom drama inspired by a famous real-life legal case. This other film has Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi in the lead roles.

A movie clash splits the audience and the number of screens. Haq is expected to perform well in multiplexes due to its story based on real events. This leaves fewer screens and less attention for Jatadhara in the northern parts of India. Having two big films on the same day reduces the opening collections for both.

4. The Trailers Lack a Clear Hook

The film’s trailers are visually rich. They show grand sets and special effects. They hint at a battle between science and faith, between a ghost hunter (Sudheer Babu) and a spirit (Sonakshi Sinha).

However, some viewers feel that the trailers do not have a strong, emotional “hook.” They look intense, but the story details are not clear enough to create huge curiosity. Sometimes, an overdose of special effects can take away from the emotional connection with the characters. People feel the trailers are more about the visuals than the story.

5. Long Production Time and Director Credibility

Jatadhara is directed by a duo, Venkat Kalyan and Abhishek Jaiswal. They are relatively new directors. They have not delivered a massive commercial hit before. In the Indian film industry, the director’s name often creates the initial excitement, or “pull,” for a big movie.

Also, the film’s making process seems to have been long. A lengthy production often leads to questions about the final quality and how the movie will hold up. When big projects take a long time to finish, the audience’s initial interest can fade away before the release date. This makes the final promotional effort much harder.

---

All these factors combined mean that Jatadhara has to rely heavily on very positive word-of-mouth reviews after the first show to be a true box office success.
