A tale highlighting the class divide in Bengaluru – that was the crux of the Kannada film Maryade Prashne, which was the first feature film venture of RJ Pradeepa’s Sakkath Studio. Based on a plot by Pradeepa, the film was developed and directed by Nagaraj Somayaji and released in theatres in November last year, where it opened to mixed reviews.
Given Pradeepa’s long association with Zee Network, it was thought that Maryade Prashne would find a home on Zee5, but it’s now come to light that the digital streaming rights have gone to Amazon Prime Video. Maryade Prashne will be available on the platform from February 7.

The film, which stars Rakesh Adiga, Poorna Mysore, Suneel Raoh, Prabhu Mundkur and Teju Belawadi, among others, is a revenge saga between the haves and the have nots. It follows three childhood friends Suri (Rakesh Adiga), Manja (Poorna Mysore), and Sathisha (Suneel Raoh) with simple dreams of a better future, each facing their own struggles.
Sathisha, a failed entrepreneur, works as a food delivery agent to clear his debts; Manja, a cab driver, is saving for his own car; and Suri, an MLA’s right-hand man, hopes for political backing to become a corporator. Despite their challenges, they find solace in each other’s company—until a fateful encounter with a group of privileged young men leads to tragedy.
Maryade Prashne’s biggest failing was said to be its stereotypical representation of the lower middle class and the upper-class sections of society. The middle class, despite their perennial struggle to make ends meets is described as do-gooders, with not an iota of evil in them, while the upper class is the opposite, which, does not do justice to either. In the process, the core message about the peril of drunken driving gets drowned out.
