Bhubaneswar: Recently released Odia thriller Delivery Boy 2 is creating waves across the state, not only among audiences but also among celebrities from the Odia film industry.

Directed by Aswin Tripathy, Delivery Boy 2 explores the dark reality of media sensationalism and the emotional chaos caused when lies travel faster than truth. The gripping narrative asks a hard-hitting question: Who controls the narrative, and who pays the price when the truth is buried beneath viral headlines?

Several prominent Odia actors, including Anubhav Mohanty, Prakruti Mishra and Supriya Nayak, praised the film for shedding light on the manipulative power of certain media channels driven by selfish motives.

The movie unfolds as an intense murder mystery, where truth becomes a casualty in the race for breaking news. Emotions run high as the line between victim and villain blurs, forcing viewers to confront the ethical dilemmas of modern media.

While the first installment, Delivery Boy (2023), captured hearts with its portrayal of a delivery boy’s daily struggles, the sequel takes a sharp turn into the world of viral misinformation, questioning society’s obsession with sensational stories.

The film boasts a stellar cast led by Buddhaditya Mohanty, Sailendra Samantaray, and Archita Sahu (as Pallavi), supported by Priyambada Swain, Pupinder Singh, and Sritam Das. A special appearance by Bhoomika Dash adds an extra layer of intrigue.

Produced by Jyoti Ranjan Mohanty under the banner of Infyson Entertainment, Delivery Boy 2 hit the big screens on August 27, 2025, coinciding with Ganesh Puja celebrations.

With its thought-provoking storyline and thrilling execution, Delivery Boy 2 stands out as one of the boldest Odia films of the year, sparking conversations about the role of media in shaping — and sometimes destroying — lives.
