Kannada dubbed movies available to stream
For many years, there was an unwritten rule about dubbing in Karnataka, which meant that big-ticket films from other industries would release in their original version in the state, and, any movie, big or small, with a decent enough plot got remade in Kannada. While this has changed in the last few years, the pan-India release trend has removed any trace of this, with audiences in Karnataka increasingly urging filmmakers to ‘serve in their language’. These days, it is the absence of a Kannada-dubbed version that becomes a major talking point. Here's a look at the films that are available with Kannada audio on the major OTT platforms.
Thiruchitrambalam
Dhanush’s 2022 release Thiruchitrambalam is a film that Challenging Star Darshan had said he enjoyed watching. The slice-of-life drama, originally in Tamil, which also stars Nithya Menen, is now available to stream with Kannada audio

King of Kotha
Dulquer Salmaan’s big-ticket Onam release, in which he played a gangster who returns to stake claim on what was rightfully his – Kotha – was not the blockbuster the makers hoped it would be. The film opened to decent reviews, but was upstaged by the action flick RDX.
Platform: Disney+Hotstar
Kick
Santhanam’s 15th film as a leading man was directed by Prashant Raj, who took the subject of his earlier Kannada film Zoom and gave it a modern spin as Kick. The film also stars Tanya Hope, with Ragini Dwivedi chipping in with a pivotal cameo.
Platform: Disney+Hotstar
Jailer
Superstar Rajinikanth’s blockbuster, which had him as a retired jailer fighting to keep his family safe, after his son, a police officer, runs afoul of a criminal gang. One of the film’s major highlights was a minor cameo by Century Star Shivarajkumar.
