Kannada OTT in June's final stretch covers the industry's best output from 2021-2024 alongside new additions completing their theatrical windows. Kantara remains the single most-played Kannada film on Prime Video India and continues to find new viewers two years after its theatrical release. 777 Charlie — Rakshit Shetty's dog-and-road-trip film — is the other Prime Video Kannada title generating consistent recommendation traffic in June. KGF Chapter 2 and the complete franchise catalog are the platform anchors.
Prime Video Kannada: Kantara, 777 Charlie, KGF
Kantara is Rishab Shetty's 2022 film about the tribal land conflict in coastal Karnataka — it became one of the biggest Kannada theatrical events ever made, earned a National Award, and its pan-India success made it the Kannada film that non-Kannada audiences most frequently cite when discussing Sandalwood cinema. The film's climax sequence is one of the most discussed in recent Indian cinema. 777 Charlie, Rakshit Shetty's road film about a withdrawn man and a stray dog named Charlie, is tonally the opposite of Kantara — slower, more emotionally gentle — and it earned some of the best audience responses that Kannada cinema has seen for a non-action film. Both are on Prime Video India. KGF Chapter 2 completes the trilogy of essential Kannada Prime Video titles — Yash's Rocky Bhai at full power.
ZEE5, SunNXT Kannada: The Supporting Platforms
ZEE5 Kannada has been expanding its Sandalwood catalog through 2026. Vikrant Rona — Kichcha Sudeep's 2022 action fantasy film — is available on ZEE5 and represents Sandalwood's attempt at a large-scale fantasy action film with international aspirations. Garuda Gamana Vrishabha Vahana, Raj B. Shetty's 2021 crime drama, is the most critically lauded Kannada crime film of recent years and available on Prime Video. SunNXT carries the most Kannada content of any single platform and their June additions include three new theatrical acquisitions from April and May 2026. French Biriyani — the Comedy-road film with Danish Sait — is the SunNXT Kannada recommendation for viewers who want something lighter than Kantara.
