The highly anticipated Hindi-dubbed version of Rishab Shetty’s blockbuster Kantara: A Legend—Chapter 1 has finally premiered on OTT, making the Kannada period-action epic accessible to a pan-India audience. Released on Amazon Prime Video on November 27, 2025, the film is now streaming in Hindi alongside the original Kannada and previously available Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam audio tracks. An active Prime subscription is required to watch the movie online.
Serving as the prequel to the 2022 global sensation Kantara, Chapter 1 transports viewers to 300 CE and follows Berme (Rishab Shetty), a fierce young warrior from the Kantara tribe whose life changes forever after his foster mother is killed by the tyrannical Prince Kulasekhara (Jayaram) of the Bangra Kingdom. As the prince exploits the sacred forest and its people, The Guardian Deities 'Panjurli' and 'Guliga' awaken, leading to an explosive climactic battle between divine forces and mortal greed. Written, directed, and led by Shetty, the film blends breathtaking action, folklore, and stunning visuals shot by cinematographer Arvind S. Kashyap with a pulsating score by B. Ajaneesh Loknath.
The theatrical release on October 2, 2025, turned into a box-office juggernaut, earning universal acclaim and currently holding an impressive 8.5/10 rating on IMDb. Critics and audiences alike praised its rooted storytelling, raw performances, and the seamless fusion of mythology with high-octane drama. The addition of the Hindi dub is expected to further expand its reach, especially after the original Kantara became a cultural phenomenon across languages in 2022–23.

Fans who missed the theatrical experience or wish to relive the magic can now stream the Hindi version exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. With its gripping narrative and larger-than-life portrayal of tribal resistance and divine intervention, the film continues to reinforce Kannada cinema’s rising dominance in the national and global spotlight.
