Upcoming Kannada Movies on OTT(September 2023)

Upcoming Kannada Movies on OTT(September 2023): The year 2023 has brought mixed fortunes for the Kannada film industry in terms of OTT releases. While there hasn't been an abundance of direct OTT releases, several of the 100-plus films that hit theaters in the first half of the year are still seeking digital platforms. Kannada cinema faces a challenge as Netflix tends to be selective with Kannada films, and Amazon Prime Video occasionally picks up a title. The industry's hope now lies with platforms like Sun Network or Jio Cinema to come forward and bridge the gap, but even there, the number of Kannada releases has been limited.
