These awaited movies have talented actors. Their performances will make the at-home experience more entertaining. Here are the movies that will be available on digital platforms soon.
The year started slowly for Kannada cinema on OTT platforms. Many films had digital streaming partners. However, none of them arrived on OTT in January 2025. The last big Kannada movie to release on OTT was Bhairathi Ranagal. This Shivarajkumar film came to Amazon Prime Video during Christmas last year.
Some delays happened due to Pushpa 2: The Rule. This major film released on Netflix on January 30 in five languages. Max and UI were affected by this. HD prints of both Kannada films are already available online. This is a cause for concern.
Aniish’s Aaram Aravinda Swamy is a romantic comedy. The film reportedly secured an OTT partner earlier. It was said to be available on a pay-per-view model. The movie released in theaters more than a month ago. However, it has not yet arrived on OTT.
