Khaleja

To celebrate the excitement around SSMB29, Paisa Vasool revisits one of Mahesh Babu’s most debated films — Khaleja — joined by our special guest Kireeti.


We break down how Khaleja went from a mixed theatrical release to a cult classic, whether the “misunderstood masterpiece” label is deserved, and how Trivikram’s writing holds up today.


We cover:

• The bold supernatural concept

• Why the execution is uneven

• Mahesh’s rare comedic performance

• Anushka’s characterisation

• Mani Sharma’s standout background score

• Whether the film deserved its cult reputation

• How it compares to Athadu, Okkadu, Pokiri & more

• Our personal Mahesh Babu rankings


A fun nostalgia deep-dive for fans counting down to SSMB29.
