Kantara: Chapter 1 OTT Release Date
Kantara: Chapter 1, Rishab Shetty’s sweeping mythological action drama, hit theaters on October 2, 2025, just in time for Gandhi Jayanti and Vijayadashami. There was a feeling in the air you know, that first-day-first-show club all huddled together, eagerly ready for the familiar sounds and stories of coastal Karnataka. It’s both a prequel and a time machine, taking audiences deep into the Kadamba dynasty and tracing Kaadubettu Shiva’s roots. The world-building honestly made me want to go trek through some ancient forest myself, though in reality, my “trek” mostly involves exploring snack options.

But if theaters aren’t your scene or you just hate popcorn in your hair, digital streaming is the next stop. Here’s what industry whispers say: Amazon Prime Video snagged the streaming rights for Kantara: Chapter 1 a pretty big deal for Kannada cinema. Still, there’s no official OTT release date locked in yet, despite all the fan theories and speculation. The producers are letting the film marinate in cinemas for a while before it goes digital.
Most films these days hit OTT platforms four to eight weeks after their theatrical debut, depending on how much box office magic they conjure and what kind of deals are inked behind closed doors. So, if someone’s asking in the family group chat, “When is Kantara Chapter 1 on Prime?” the honest answer is: soon, but not just yet. Get comfy, grab some snacks, keep your Prime Video subscription alive, and check for updates once the theatrical dust settles. These things move fast sometimes almost as fast as gossip after a festival screening. For now, Kantara: Chapter 1 is a big-screen experience only. But if your living room is your favorite “theater,” it won’t be long before it lands on Prime.
