The Traitors Telugu 4-6: A Rs 28 Lakh Mission Ends at Zero

Amazon Prime Video’s The Traitors Telugu returned with episodes 4, 5 and 6 on October 23, and the house has moved from polite suspicion into open betrayal. The review team at 123telugu has rated this stretch 3.25/5, and the real winner so far is not a contestant—it is the game’s ability to turn personal trust into a weapon.

The game resets, then breaks its own rules

After the earlier eliminations of Chinmayi Sripada, Nikhil Vijayendra Simha, Gaurav Sunil and Vidyullekha Raman, the new episodes introduce a reset. Dhananjay walks back into the house, and the existing traitors—Ashika Padukone and Rahat Achanta—join host Teja Sajja in choosing Vishnu Oye as the new traitor. Vishnu’s sudden change in behaviour, however, makes him suspicious almost immediately, and he is voted out within a day. The traitors strike back by murdering Sai Ronak.

Shravya Varma reads the room

The standout player in this block is Shravya Varma. Rahat had carefully won the confidence of Varsha D’Souza and Pranav Chaganti, but Shravya kept watching his moves. She pushed the investigation and helped remove his mask, giving the innocents their biggest win. Varsha’s emotional reaction after the reveal—realising someone she trusted had used that closeness as strategy—captures why this format hurts. Personal bonds become the easiest place to hide a lie.

Missions expose selfishness

The tasks do more than fill screen time; they expose how each contestant is really playing.

• In the first mission, players failed while carrying a corpse and collecting clocks and sandalwood, so no prize money was won.
• The second mission was worth ₹28 lakh, but contestants prioritised personal gain and did not add a single rupee to the common prize pot.
• In the third mission, Rahat saved Mounisha Chowdary from a midnight elimination—and she later suspected him.

The ₹28 lakh mission is the clearest signal yet: nobody in the house is playing for the group. The format rewards survival first, and this block makes that visible.

Only one traitor is left

With Rahat eliminated, Ashika Padukone is now the lone traitor. She has played quietly without drawing suspicion, but being the only traitor is a different challenge. Pragati Mahavadi and Sweekar Agasti are asking sharp questions, while Harshavardhan keeps chasing the wrong suspects and Dhananjay’s silence may turn into a disadvantage. Teja Sajja remains a watchable host, though his screen presence in these episodes is lighter than in the first three as the house fights and round-table arguments take over.

Should you watch?

If you enjoy mind games, suspicion and long strategy chats, episodes 4 to 6 are a step up. The length is a little stretched, but the improved tasks and sharper rivalries make the show more entertaining than its opening block. Now the real question is whether the innocents can catch Ashika before she goes deeper.
