Romanchakam is a 2026 Telugu romantic comedy written, directed and edited by Venu Gopal Reddy in his debut, produced by Pranay Reddy Vanga and presented by his brother, the director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, under Bhadrakali Pictures. Sumanth Prabhas and Ananthika Sanilkumar play the leads. It opened in theatres on 3 September 2026 and has been streaming on Netflix since 1 October 2026.
What the story is about
Anvesh, a Hyderabad graduate, wants to start a company with his friends: a dating app called Romanchakam. Through an app he meets Mythili, who lives in Chennai, and they become close. When he travels to Chennai to surprise her on her birthday, she switches off her phone and blocks him everywhere, and later disappears after coming to Hyderabad, leaving Anvesh’s friends to search for her. The tagline promises love, comedy and suspense; reviewers found the comedy of the friends’ gang the strongest part.
Cast and crew
- Sumanth Prabhas as Anvesh
- Ananthika Sanilkumar as Mythili
- Narendra Ravi, Venkatesh Kakumanu, Mani Aegurla and Sai Sohan as Anvesh’s friends
- Upendra Limaye as a police officer
Vasuki Vaibhav composed the music. Bhadrakali Pictures earlier produced Arjun Reddy; Cinema Express notes that Romanchakam is a much lighter film than the banner’s earlier work.
What critics said
Reviews were mixed. Cinema Express called it “just for fun as a buddy comedy”, with hardly any love or suspense but superb dialogue, an entertaining last 20 minutes and a standout Narendra Ravi; it thought Sumanth Prabhas better here than in Mem Famous and Godari Gattupaina. The Hindu found it more frustrating than fun, better as a buddy comedy than a love story, with an underwritten heroine. Telugu360 rated it 2.25/5. 123telugu reported that its theatrical run fell short of expectations.
