‘Maryade Prashne' OTT release: Kannada revenge drama to stream on THIS date
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) After a successful theatrical run and strong critical acclaim, the Kannada film 'Maryade Prashne' is all set to make its digital debut. The intense revenge drama, which was released in November 2024, will begin streaming on OTT from June 13, 2025. The streaming platform officially announced the release with a striking poster and the caption: 'The verdict is out… What begins as a question of dignity unravels into a deeper fight for truth.' Plot: A party turns life-altering 'Maryade Prashne' follows the emotional and moral turmoil of three friends — Suri, Manja, and Sathish — from Chamrajpete, Bengaluru. Their lives take a dark turn after a seemingly ordinary birthday celebration spirals into tragedy. What unfolds is a haunting tale that questions dignity, class disparities, and the psychological aftermath of violence and injustice. As the three navigate the harsh realities that follow the incident, the film delves deep into the invisible yet rigid lines that separate privilege from struggle, comfort from survival. It's a narrative that not only seeks revenge but also introspection. The movie starts streaming on Sun NXT. A peek into the making of KGF starring Yash in the lead Cast, crew and creative force The film features a compelling ensemble cast including Rakesh Adiga, Sunil Raoh, Poornachandra Mysore, Teju Belawadi, Prabhu Mundkur, and Shine Shetty. Each performance has been praised for adding depth and authenticity to the gritty screenplay. 'Maryade Prashne' marks the directorial debut of Nagaraj Somayaji, with the story penned by RJ Pradeepa. Grounded Narrative And Stellar Performances Elevate This Ordinary Tale About The Struggles Of Middle-Class Life ETimes gave the film a rating of 3.5 stars out of 5 and our review read, 'The first half of the film effectively captures the nuances of middle-class life with many subtle, relatable scenes. The second half, however, shifts to a revenge-drama narrative. The film gets preachy in the second half and towards the end, and loses steam for a bit, before finding its way to the core plot. The dialogue could have been better and more effective. The movie also explores the friendship equation between the haves and the have-nots, and how money plays a role in each of their friendships. Sandeep Valluri's camera shows core Bengaluru in a fresh light. The songs are well-placed and go with the flow of the film. Naa Nanaguve is haunting.'
