Jetlee is a 2026 Telugu comedy thriller co-written and directed by Ritesh Rana, set almost entirely on board a flight from Dubai to Kochi. Satya leads, with Rhea Singha and Vennela Kishore. Produced by Clap Entertainment with music by Kaala Bhairava, it opened in theatres on 1 May 2026, runs 132 minutes, and has streamed on JioHotstar since 25 May 2026.
What the story is about
CBI agent Shivani Roy arrests the notorious Prajapathi in Dubai and boards a special flight to bring him back to Kochi. Midway through, rival gangs try to kill him while he plots his own escape, and the flight turns into a battlefield. In the middle of it all is Ved Vyas, a man who has lost his memory and is not sure who he is, and the question of whose side everyone is really on.

How it was made
Ritesh Rana was advised against setting a whole film inside an aeroplane because it was experimental. He reshaped the lead character to suit Satya, and the team built a complete aircraft set to stand in for the Dubai–Kochi flight. Kaala Bhairava composed the songs and background score.
Release and reception
Jetlee released on 1 May 2026 to mixed reviews. The Assam Tribune rated it 2.75 out of 5, saying stronger writing in the second half could have made it sharper. Srivathsan Nadadhur of The Hindu felt the cast gave their all but ended up adding to the cacophony, and Suresh Kavirayani of Cinema Express gave it 1 out of 5, calling the narration the biggest drawback while praising Satya and Vennela Kishore. No box-office figure is on record from a cited source.
