Mr Bachelor: Where to watch Darling Krishna’s rom-com after its theatrical run

Darling Krishna’s first release for the year, Mr Bachelor, released in theatres today. The Naidu Bandaarru directed film pairs the actor with Nimika Ratnakar, and includes Milana Nagaraj, Giri Shivanna, Chikkanna, Ayyappa P Sharma and Pavithra Lokesh, among others, on its ensemble cast. The film, a romantic comedy with some action too, is about the protagonist, Karthik (Darling Krishna), a young eligible bachelor, whose marriage prospects look dull because of a curse on the family. The way round, suggests an astrologer, is for Karthik to marry the 31st girl he comes across by hook or by crook, else a life without a soulmate is his future.

Krishna, whose career got a new lease of life following the success of his directorial Love Mocktail, which he followed up with Love Mocktail 2, two years later, has established a decent marketability for his movies, as far as satellite and digital rights go. Although his films between the two Love Mocktail movies, and thereafter, have not made any impact on the box office, pretty much every single one got a digital deal. Mr Bachelor too, has already been sold, with Sun Network picking up the satellite and digital rights. The film will drop on Udaya TV and SunNXT after its theatrical run. It will most likely get its TV premiere first, with the OTT outing to follow a day or two later. A date is yet to be announced, but conservative estimates put the release date at 45-days from its theatrical outing.

Up next, Krishna is gearing up for the release of Love Me or Hate Me with Rachita Ram and Bigg Boss Kannada 9 winner Roopesh Shetty and Sugar Factory, with Sonal Monteiro, Advithi Shetty and Shilpa Shetty. He has also finished a film with director Shashank, Kousalya Supraja Rama, in which he is paired with his wife, Milana, yet again.
