<br />
==Plot==<br />
Prashanthi gives up her dreams for love, only to fall into abusive relationships first with her lecturer and later with her husband, Omkar, who pretends to support her but turns violent and manipulative. After enduring trauma, betrayal, and a heartbreaking miscarriage, she secretly strengthens herself, escapes his control, and rebuilds her life by starting a successful business. When Omkar's abuse becomes public and reaches court, she refuses divorce, not out of love, but to ensure no other woman suffers the same fate.<br />

Reviewing the film for ''[[The Hindu]]'', Sangeetha Devi called "partly fun, partly simmering emotional drama" with "compelling performances" from Rebba and Bhascker.<ref>{{Cite news|title=‘Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi’ movie review: Eesha Rebba, Tharun Bhascker shine in this sharp critique of patriarchy|url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/om-shanti-shanti-shantihi-movie-review-eesha-rebba-tharun-bhascker-star-in-the-film-directed-by-ar-sajeev/article70569609.ece|work=The Hindu|date=2026-01-30|access-date=|issn=0971-751X|language=en-IN|first=Sangeetha Devi|last=Dundoo}}</ref> ''[[Moneycontrol]]''<nowiki/>'s Bhawana Tanmayi stated it was a "faithful remake", which worked in parts,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.moneycontrol.com/entertainment/regional/om-shanti-shanti-shantihi-movie-review-a-faithful-remake-of-the-original-but-entertains-in-bits-and-pieces-article-13799279.html|title=Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi movie review: A faithful remake of the original but entertains in bits and pieces|date=2026-01-31|last=Bhawana|first=Tanmayi|website=[[Moneycontrol]]}}</ref> while Suresh Kavirayani of ''[[Cinema Express]]'' felt that the remake lacked the original's intensity. On technical aspects, Kavirayani added "the cinematography beautifully captures the [[Godavari]] landscape, adding visual appeal. The music, however, remains average and doesn’t elevate the emotional moments."<ref>{{Cite web|title=Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi Movie Review: The remake misses the original’s intensity|url=https://www.cinemaexpress.com/telugu/review/2026/Jan/30/om-shanti-shanti-shantihi-movie-review-the-remake-misses-the-originals-intensity|website=[[Cinema Express]]|date=2026-01-30|access-date=|language=en|first=Suresh|last=Kavirayani}}</ref><br />
