August was one of the most entertaining months of 2022 for movie lovers, thanks to Sita Ramam, Bimbisara, and Karthikeya 2. Not only captivating the audience, but these films have also rekindled the fire at the Tollywood box office after it took a dip owing to the failures of Thank You, Pakka Commercial, and others.

Similar to all the new releases, these movies will also be released on OTT platforms four weeks after the theatrical run, catering to those who would love to rewatch them in the comfort of their homes.
