Director: Sree Harsha Konuganti
A treasure hunt goes sideways in a village where superstition turns out to have teeth in this 2024 Telugu comedy from Sree Harsha Konuganti.
What is Om Bheem Bush about?
Three scientists arrive in a remote village chasing rumors of buried riches, expecting the trip to be a straightforward dig. Instead they run into a community bound by old rituals and warnings about a curse tied to the land, and the locals are far less cooperative than the visitors hoped. As the search drags on, practical plans keep colliding with forces the scientists can't explain away with logic, and the group is forced to take the village's fears more seriously than they intended. The mismatch between rational method and unruly local lore becomes the engine of the story, pushing the trio toward chaos, comic misfires, and a reckoning with just how out of their depth they are.
Cast & crew
Sree Vishnu anchors the group as the most level-headed of the three, playing off Priyadarshi Pullikonda and Rahul Ramakrishna, who lean into the film's broader comic beats. Manish Kumar, Preity Mukhundhan, Ayesha Khan, and Racha Ravi round out a village ensemble that keeps the tone loose even as the plot edges into the supernatural.
Context & significance
Director Sree Harsha Konuganti works in a strand of Telugu cinema that pairs slapstick with folk-horror trappings, using a rural setting and inherited superstition as a backdrop for comic escalation rather than genuine scares. The film released in 2024 and holds a 5.6 rating on IMDb, reflecting a modest, genre-audience reception rather than a breakout run. At roughly two and a half hours, it gives the ensemble room to build out the village's quirks and superstitions before the central mystery fully takes over, which is typical of the pacing in this corner of regional comedy.
