Mark OTT release date confirmed: When and where to watch Kichcha Sudeep’s Kannada action thriller movie online

Kannada star Kichcha Sudeep returned to the big screen with the action thriller Mark, which released in theatres during Christmas 2025. Directed by Vijay Kartikeyaa, the film marked the actor’s second collaboration with the filmmaker after the success of Max. Expectations were fairly high, given the duo’s previous hit and Sudeep’s strong fan following. While Mark opened to mixed reviews from critics and audiences, it managed to hold its ground at the box office and completed a respectable theatrical run. Now, the movie is gearing up for its digital debut.

Streaming details of Mark

The film largely stayed within the familiar action-thriller space that fans associate with Sudeep. Despite some criticism around its pacing and narrative density, Mark found appreciation for its performances, action sequences, and background score.



The makers have officially confirmed that Mark will make its OTT debut on January 23, 2026. The action thriller will stream on JioHotstar, which has acquired the film’s post-theatrical digital rights. As per the platform’s announcement, Mark will be available in Kannada, Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, and Malayalam, making it accessible to a wider audience beyond its original market. The OTT release follows a four-week window after the film’s theatrical release, a strategy that has become increasingly common for big-ticket regional films.

Interestingly, Mark will face familiar competition even on streaming platforms. The film’s OTT release date coincides with that of 45, another Kannada release that had clashed with Mark during its theatrical run. While Mark performed marginally better at the box office, neither film posted exceptional numbers. With both titles landing on OTT on the same day, viewers now have the option to choose which film to watch first.

More about Mark

In Mark, Kichcha Sudeep essays the role of SP Ajay Markandaya, popularly known as Mark, a police officer who finds himself suspended due to the manipulations of a corrupt politician. The story takes a dramatic turn when Mark’s mother is attacked during a routine outing, and a young girl accompanying her is abducted.


What begins as a personal mission soon opens up a larger investigation, as Mark uncovers a well-organised kidnapping racket linked to multiple missing children. The narrative follows his race against time to rescue the victims while also seeking justice against those who framed him.

The film features a strong supporting cast including Naveen Chandra, Guru Somasundaram, Vikranth, Yogi Babu, Shine Tom Chacko, and Roshni Prakash, each playing pivotal roles in the story. Mark is produced by Satya Jyothi Films and Kichcha Creations, while music composer Ajaneesh Loknath reunites with Sudeep for the third time after Vikrant Rona and Max.

Although rumours suggested that Mark could be a reworked version of Max 2, director Vijay Kartikeyaa has previously clarified that the two films are distinct, with different character arcs and emotional beats. With its OTT release now confirmed, Mark is expected to find a new audience on streaming. Stay tuned!
