Kichcha Sudeepa's action thriller "Mark" is set to premiere on JioHotstar on January 23, 2026. Following a successful theatrical run that began on Christmas, December 25, 2025, the film is now geared up to reach a broader audience through its digital release.
"Mark" will be available in Kannada, Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, and Malayalam. This multi-language release aims to attract viewers from across India. The film's digital rights were acquired by JioHotstar for a significant price.
Directed by Vijay Kartikeyaa, "Mark" sees Kichcha Sudeepa portraying the character of SP Ajay Markandeyaa, also known as "Mark". The film unfolds over a 48-hour period, where Mark, a suspended police officer with a reputation for his temper, becomes embroiled in a conspiracy. He goes rogue to investigate the disappearances of children and uncovers a nexus involving a pharmaceutical cartel and corrupt politicians. Despite facing personal setbacks and his suspension, Mark takes the law into his own hands to deliver justice.
The cast includes Shine Tom Chacko, Naveen Chandra, Vikranth, Yogi Baby, Nishvika Naidu, Roshni Prakash, and Guru Somasundaram. Ajaneesh Loknath composed the film's music, marking his third collaboration with Sudeep after "Vikrant Rona" and "Max". "Mark" is produced by Satya Jyothi Films and Kichcha Creations.
"Mark" had a decent run at the box office, grossing over INR 51 crores. Despite mixed reviews, the film managed to create a buzz. The OTT release strategically precedes Republic Day, anticipating increased viewership during the holiday weekend.
The OTT release of "Mark" coincides with another Kannada film, "45". While "Mark" performed slightly better in theaters, the simultaneous digital releases provide viewers with options.
