Mark OTT Release Date
The OTT release of Mark is expected around late January 2026, with trade reports pointing to a Republic Day weekend window after its Christmas Day theatrical debut on 25 December 2025. That roughly four‑to‑five‑week gap tracks well with how big Kannada theatrical titles have been moving to streaming lately, especially when the film is positioned as a year‑end event release.
Industry coverage has repeatedly mentioned that the digital deal is locked and the platform chosen, even if the production house has not yet dropped a glossy announcement poster with the exact date. Viewers following Kichcha Sudeep’s recent films have already started joking that “Christmas in theatres, Republic Day on the sofa” is becoming his unofficial distribution pattern, after Max’s similar theatrical‑then‑OTT run.
Where to Watch the Mark Movie?
Mark is expected to stream on JioHotstar after its theatrical run, with reports stating that the platform has acquired the digital rights and is lining up the film for an end‑of‑January 2026 premiere. That makes Mark only the second Kannada film to land on this service, after the comedy hit Su From So, which also arrived a little after the four‑week mark.
For viewers who like to plan the weekend watchlist in advance, the route looks fairly simple:
-
Theatrical release: 25 December 2025, across Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi.
-
Post‑theatrical streaming: JioHotstar / JioCinema‑Hotstar environment, with a tentative late‑January 2026 debut.
Satellite rights, meanwhile, are believed to be with a major Southern network (reports mention Vijay TV in some cases), but those telecast dates usually come much later, once the film has had a healthy digital run. For most viewers, OTT will be the first rewatch after the theatre high wears off.
About the Movie Mark
Mark is a Kannada‑led pan‑Indian action thriller starring Kichcha Sudeep as Ajay Markandayya, a suspended senior police officer pulled into a brutal case involving kidnapped and murdered children. The film is directed by Vijay Kartikeyaa, marking another collaboration between the two after Max, and is produced by Sathya Jyothi Films in association with Kichcha Creatiions.
The trailer paints Mark as more than a standard cop‑vs‑goons showdown. There is:
-
A politically connected antagonist in Adikeshava, played by Shine Tom Chacko, and his associate Stephen (Guru Somasundaram).
-
A race‑against‑time structure, with Mark trying to crack the child‑trafficking case under intense pressure and public scrutiny.
-
A personal emotional layer that ties the crimes to Mark’s own past, giving the action a more bruised, human edge.
The supporting cast is stacked, with names like Yogi Babu, Naveen Chandra, Vikranth, Guru Somasundaram, Roshni Prakash, Archana Kottige, Dev Gill, GM Kumar, Shine Tom Chacko and more, signalling a story built on multiple intersecting character arcs rather than just one hero‑centric rampage.
What has also caught attention is how quickly the film was mounted: Sudeep mentioned the entire shoot for Mark wrapped in about four months, which is impressive given the scale of locations, stunts, and ensemble scenes teased in the promos. For fans of Kichcha Sudeep’s intense roles, Mark looks like one of those darker, grounded cop films that sit somewhere between mass entertainer and gritty crime drama — the kind that often picks up even more appreciation once it hits OTT and people start pausing to rewatch their favourite confrontations.
