Kichcha Sudeep’s ‘Mark’ Storms Theatres: Here’s When and Where the Kannada Cop Thriller Is Likely to Stream

Directed by Vijay Kartikeyaa, Mark places Sudeep in the intense role of Ajay Markandayya, a formidable Superintendent of Police who has been suspended under unexplained circumstances. Known by his alias “Mark,” the character is portrayed as a feared and uncompromising officer, with the narrative unfolding across two parallel tracks. One explores the incidents that led to his suspension, while the core storyline follows a chilling investigation into a series of missing children who are later discovered dead.

Positioned firmly as a gritty cop thriller, the film leans heavily on Sudeep’s commanding screen presence and high-impact action sequences. Early audience reactions emerging on social media indicate strong engagement with the film’s action blocks, performances and overall treatment, though a clearer verdict is expected to take shape over the coming weekend as more viewers watch the film.

Beyond its theatrical run, Mark is already generating interest for its digital release. Industry reports suggest that the post-theatrical streaming rights have been secured, with the film likely to premiere on an OTT platform in January 2026. However, the official streaming partner and exact release date are yet to be formally announced.

With its dark investigative theme, commercial action elements and Sudeep’s star power, Mark is shaping up as one of the notable Kannada releases of the holiday season. Its performance over the next few days will not only determine its box office trajectory but also influence expectations ahead of its eventual digital debut.
