3 Kannada movies releasing on OTT this week 

Vidyapati 

In simpler terms, Vidyapati focuses on the story of Siddu, a man often perceived as a parasite, who enjoys the limelight and riches of his wife, Vidya, a well-known actress. However, their life takes an unfortunate turn when a sudden dispute with a local thug causes friction, prompting Vidya to ask him to leave their home.

In this situation, I find myself prompted for serious self-reflection, understanding that demonstrating my value and earning her respect are crucial in our relationship.

Agnyathavasi 

  • Cast: Rangayana Raghu, Siddu Moolimani, Paavana Gowda, Sharath Lohithaswa 
  • Director: Janardhan Chikkanna
  • Streaming on: Zee5

In the 90s, nestled amidst the foggy woods of Malnad, the tale unfolds in Agnyathavasi about a secluded hamlet undisturbed by contemporary life. However, the unexpected slaying of a scholar stirs the sleepy town from its tranquility.

During the course of the investigation, a computer’s appearance provides insight into numerous events happening within the village, even shedding light on the case itself, and ultimately assists in identifying the perpetrator.

Firefly

  • Cast: Vamshi Krishna Srinivas, Rachana Inder, Achyuth Kumar, Sudharani
  • Director: Vamshi Krishna Srinivas
  • Streaming on: Amazon Prime Video

In a heartbeat, I found myself utterly engrossed in the world of Firefly, where the story unfolds around Vicky, a man whose life takes an unexpected and heart-wrenching turn upon his return to India from overseas. The weight of loss, following a tragic accident that claimed the lives of his parents, plunges him into a deep coma for several months.

During his recuperation process, Vicky struggles with feelings of lost time, depression, and sleeplessness. In this challenging phase, he crosses paths with Neha via a dating platform, who serves as a beacon guiding him out of the tunnel’s darkness.
