Blockbuster Prequel ‘Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1’ Confirms OTT Release Date and Time

New Delhi, Saturday,  01 November 2025 – Big news for movie lovers! The highly successful Indian film, Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1, is coming soon to your homes. The movie has been a massive hit in theaters across the world. Now, the official date and time for its digital release, often called Over-The-Top (OTT) streaming, have been announced.

When Can You Watch ‘Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1’?

The official OTT release date for Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1 is Friday, October 31, 2025.

• The streaming platform is Amazon Prime Video. This platform has bought the rights for the movie’s digital release.

Sources suggest that the movie will start streaming at 12 AM (midnight) on October 31. This means you can start watching right at the beginning of the day.

Available Languages and The Big Hindi Question

The film will be available to stream in its original Kannada language.

It will also have dubbed versions in Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam languages. This is great news for audiences in South India.

However, the Hindi version will take a little longer to come. Reports say the Hindi dub will likely start streaming around November 26, 2025. This is about eight weeks after the movie’s release in theaters. A producer from Hombale Films, the production company, said this longer gap for Hindi was due to an old business agreement made years ago. The South Indian languages had a different, shorter agreement.

About the Film: Story and Success

Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1 is a prequel to the super-hit 2022 film Kantara. A prequel tells a story that happened before the first film.

The movie explores the ancient origins of the Panjurli Daiva legend. It takes viewers back to the time of the Kadamba dynasty. It shows how the spirit of Berme, a tribal protector, first awakened. The story is about faith, greed, and the bond between humans and nature.

The film is written, directed, and stars the talented Rishab Shetty. The movie also has other key actors like Rukmini Vasanth, Gulshan Devaiah, and Jayaram.

The film has been a huge success. It is one of the highest-grossing Indian films of the year, collecting over ₹800 crore worldwide. The makers, Hombale Films (the same company that made the K.G.F. movies), have sold the streaming rights to Prime Video for a very big amount, which shows the high demand for this film.

Why Is It Coming So Soon to OTT?

The movie was released in theaters on October 2, 2025. Many people were surprised to hear it is coming to OTT so fast, in less than a month. Usually, films wait for a longer time.

The producers have confirmed that this early release for the South Indian languages is because of a pre-decided agreement. This contract was signed a long time ago, when the usual rules for movie release gaps were different. The filmmakers are confident that the film will still do well in theaters even after its OTT release.

For fans who loved the big-screen experience, or those who missed it, the movie is now ready to reach every corner of India on their mobile phones and TVs.
