Read on to learn about Karki’s OTT release date and streaming platform, what it’s about, and whether you should watch it or not.
Karki – Plot & Cast
Directed by veteran Tamil filmmaker Pavithran (marking his Kannada directorial debut), this socially relevant film ostensibly follows the story of Muthuraj (played by Jai Prakash Reddy), a young man from rural Karnataka who relocates to a city because of a lack of opportunities in his village. While pursuing BA LLB, he befriends an upper-class girl, Jyothi Lakshmi (played by Meenakshi Dinesh), who helps him adjust to the urban life in their college.
But soon, he becomes the victim of caste discrimination and also suffers the loss of his beloved dog, Karki. Despite all odds, how he rises against the caste-based inequalities and societal norms forms the crux of the film. The movie also features Sadhu Kokila, Bala Rajwadi, Yathiraj, and Mimicry Gopi in supporting roles.
