Latest Kannada OTT releases (Sept 16 – Sept 22) to watch on Prime Video, Hotstar, Netflix, Sony LIV, theatres and more

It’s a relatively dull weak for Kannada cinema both at the box office and on OTT. There are a few Kannada films in theatres this week, but none are star-backed. Take your pick from a fantasy thriller, romantic drama and social drama, in theatres, while the sole OTT release as of now, has Pruthvi Ambaar as a cop. There aren’t any major Kannada-dubbed titles in theatres or OTT this week.
