Mareechika (మరీచిక) is a 2026 Telugu mystery crime thriller co-written and directed by Satish Kasetty, starring Regena Cassandrra in the title role with Anupama Parameswaran and Viraj Ashwin. Ilaiyaraaja composed the songs and score. It was released in theatres on 29 May 2026, runs 138 minutes, and is listed on Prime Video in India.
What the story is about
Venkatalakshmi, “Venky”, a shy college student, runs into a police station and tells SI Anjibabu that her friend Mareechika has killed Sanjay, “Sanju”, the bakery worker Venky secretly loved. As Anjibabu digs into her account, each version of the story is overturned by the next, and the film keeps the audience guessing about who Mareechika is and what really happened between the three of them. (The full plot, with its twists, is on Wikipedia; we stop at the premise here.)

Release and reception
Mareechika opened in theatres on 29 May 2026. Suresh Kavirayani of Cinema Express rated it 2.5 out of 5, praising the lead performances while writing that it “had the potential to become a gripping mystery crime thriller if the screenplay had been tighter and more engaging”. The Eenadu review was critical of the repetitive narration and the lack of freshness in the story. No box-office figure is on record from a cited source.
