Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi

Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi (ఓం శాంతి శాంతి శాంతిః) is a 2026 Telugu comedy drama directed by A. R. Sajeev, a remake of the 2022 Malayalam film Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey. Eesha Rebba and Tharun Bhascker play a wife and the short-tempered husband she stops putting up with. Produced by S Originals and Movie Verse Studios with music by Jay Krish, it released in cinemas on 30 January 2026 and streams on Aha.

What the story is about

Prashanthi gives up her own plans for love and ends up in one abusive relationship after another, first with a lecturer and then with her husband Omkar Naidu, who pretends to support her and turns violent and controlling. With no one standing by her, she quietly builds herself up, gets out from under his control and starts a business of her own. When his abuse becomes public and reaches a courtroom, she makes a choice that is not about love at all.

Release, runtime and reception

Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi opened on 30 January 2026; our record lists a running time of 130 minutes. Reviews were split. Sangeetha Devi of The Hindu called it “partly fun, partly simmering emotional drama” with “compelling performances” from Rebba and Bhascker, and Moneycontrol found it a faithful remake that worked in parts. Cinema Express felt it lacked the original’s intensity, though it praised the cinematography of the Godavari landscape, and BVS Prakash of Deccan Chronicle wrote that the adaptation “lacks the novelty, sharpness and emotional depth required to keep the audience engaged”. No box-office figures are on record from a cited source.
