Eesha (ఈషా) is a 2025 Telugu horror thriller written and directed by Srinivas Manne, starring Thrigun, Hebah Patel, Akhil Raj Uddemari and Siri Hanmanth as four friends who set out to debunk the supernatural. It opened in theatres on 25 December 2025, was a commercial success, and streams on JioHotstar.
What the story is about
Naina, Kalyan, Vinay and Aparna are childhood friends and committed rationalists who run a channel exposing fake paranormal claims and fraudulent spiritual healers. Their next target is Dr. Aadidev, a former neurosurgeon who now works as a healer near the Andhra Pradesh–Odisha border and claims to cure people troubled by supernatural forces. They go in expecting to expose a fraud, but a run of events they cannot explain starts to shake their scepticism, and they find themselves drawn towards past deaths, occult rituals and an entity called “Eesha”.

Release and reception
Eesha was first set for 12 December 2025 and opened on 25 December 2025. Sanjana Pulugurtha of The Times of India rated it 3 out of 5, though she felt “a more polished script and sharper screenplay” could have made it consistently chilling. Suresh Kavirayani of Cinema Express gave it 2 out of 5, calling it “a regular, by-the-book horror thriller that offers a few scattered scares”. Wikipedia records it as a box-office success; we have not found a gross figure from a mainstream outlet, so none is given here.
