Performance breakdown by language

In the Telugu market, Jatadhara has a better presence.

 The morning shows had around 12.21% occupancy, which increased slightly to 17.42% by the night shows. The Hindi version struggled to gain traction, with occupancy peaking at 11.61% during the night shows.

Storyline and performances

Jatadhara, directed by Abhishek Jaiswal and Venkat Kalyan, delves into an ancient legend about nobles who sealed treasures using sacred rituals known as "bandanas."

 One of these was the Pisachi Bandana, which unleashed a fierce guardian spirit named Dhanapisachi.

The story follows Shiva (played by Sudheer Babu), a rational ghost hunter who is forced to question his beliefs when he gets involved in this ancient curse.

 Sonakshi Sinha, Shilpa Shirodkar, Indira Krishnan, and Ravi Prakash deliver strong performances in this epic film.

According to ETimes review, "On the technical front, the film impresses with its grandeur and visual appeal.

 The production design and cinematography effectively capture the mythic tone of the narrative, creating an atmospheric backdrop."
