Telugu OTT audiences can finally watch the complete language version of Sabdham as the much-awaited Telugu-dubbed edition of the horror thriller starring Aadi Pinisetty is now streaming on ZEE5. The supernatural film, which released in theatres on February 28, 2025 in Tamil and Telugu, has been one of the most anticipated digital drops in recent weeks.
Written and directed by Arivazhagan, Sabdham opened to mixed theatrical reviews, with critics praising its technical brilliance and immersive sound design while pointing out screenplay issues. The story follows Rooban, a paranormal investigator from Mumbai, who travels to a medical college in Munnar to probe a series of mysterious deaths. Aadi Pinisetty leads the cast, supported by Lakshmi Menon, Simran, and Laila in key roles.
When Sabdham made its digital debut on ZEE5 earlier this year, it was initially available only in the original Tamil language, which left Telugu and Hindi viewers waiting. The Hindi version was added to the platform recently, and the Sabdham Telugu version has now joined the lineup. This phased language rollout has become common for South Indian films on ZEE5, with dubbed versions arriving weeks after the original release.
The Telugu version gives fans who missed the theatrical run a chance to experience the paranormal thriller in their preferred language from home. Produced by 7G Films and AAlpha Frames, Sabdham features music by Thaman S and strong technical backing. The crew includes cinematographer Arun Bathmanaban and editor V. J. Sabu Joseph, with the film’s sound design receiving special acclaim for elevating the horror experience.
