Aranmanai 4 Goes Telugu as Baak: Can it Change Fortunes?

The Aranmanai franchise stands as a testament to the popularity of horror comedy films in Tamil cinema, captivating audiences with its unique blend of humor and spine-chilling thrills. With its fourth installment, featuring Sundar. C, Tamannaah Bhatia, and Raashi Khanna, finally slated for release in the summer of 2024, fans are eagerly anticipating another exhilarating chapter in this beloved series.

The recently released trailer has set the stage for the upcoming film, promising the signature mix of horror and comedy that has become synonymous with the franchise. Beginning with light-hearted humor and spine-tingling scares, the narrative gradually escalates to a gripping climax, offering viewers a rollercoaster ride of emotions and entertainment.

While the Aranmanai franchise enjoys immense popularity in Tamil cinema, its dubbed versions in Telugu have struggled to find an audience. Despite lukewarm responses to the first two installments, the makers chose not to dub the third film. However, with the fourth installment gearing up for release in April 2024, there is newfound optimism as the makers unveil a Telugu version titled “Baak,” set for simultaneous release. The unveiling of the Telugu poster during the Ugadi Festival signals a strategic move to tap into the Telugu-speaking audience, raising hopes for a potential breakthrough in the Telugu market. Whether “Baak” can revive the fortunes of the Aranmanai franchise in Telugu remains to be seen, but anticipation is high for its impact beyond Tamil cinema.
