We are back with our monthly report for SonyLIV! This time, we’re diving deep into the streamer’s overall performance for August 2025. Compared to July, SonyLIV improved and delivered some truly high-quality originals as well as licensed titles. Let’s take a closer look at them.
Twisted Metal Season 2
Release Date: August 2, 2025
Twisted Metal Season 2 has been overwhelmingly well-received by fans, with many praising it as a significant improvement over the first season. Critics highlighted its increased budget, which resulted in better action sequences and more compelling plot twists. Although some viewers found the ending a bit disappointing, the second season is fun, hilarious, and packed with plenty of hard-hitting action.
Mayasabha: Rise of the Titans
Release Date: August 6, 2025
Mayasabha emerged as another original gem from SonyLIV. Viewers praised its gripping narrative, sharp writing, and cinematic quality. It also benefited from Deva Katta and Kiran Jay Kumar’s vision, along with powerful performances from the cast. Many hailed it as a must-watch and one of the best Telugu shows ever made, particularly appreciating its seamless blend of historical fiction and political intrigue.
Court Kacheri
Release Date: August 12, 2025
TVF’s Court Kacheri received a mixed-to-positive reception. Many considered it a good, family-friendly show with strong performances and a relatable storyline about generational differences in the legal profession. However, some felt it was a one-time watch, citing a somewhat predictable plot and writing that didn’t quite meet TVF’s usual high standards.
The Chronicles of the 4.5 Gang
Release Date: August 28, 2025
The Chronicles of the 4.5 Gang is an intriguing gangster drama praised for its brilliant storytelling and exceptional performances. Viewers commended director Krishand’s unique style, which blends dark humour, emotions, and action with a non-linear narrative. The cast, particularly the five lead actors, earned high praise for their natural performances and seamless delivery. Many describe the show as a well-crafted, binge-worthy series deserving of a wider audience.
By offering a mix of action-packed international hits like Twisted Metal, acclaimed regional dramas like Mayasabha, and promising new series like The Chronicles of the 4.5 Gang, the streamer has not only strengthened its library but also reinforced its commitment to becoming a top destination for diverse and engaging entertainment. Stay tuned for more updates.
