Well over 100 films have been released in theaters during the first six months of 2025, and only a fifth or fewer of them may have made their way to streaming. Such is the state of the Kannada film industry right now. This week, there are no officially confirmed original titles heading audience's way, nor are there any significant dubbed titles available on OTT. Jurassic Park Rebirth is the main release, but there are also a few Kannada movies that might appeal to viewers.

The following is a list of the Kannada movies that will be released in theaters and on OTT throughout the week of June 30–July 6, 2025

Kapata Nataka Sutradhari

The plot of Kapata Nataka Sutradhari, a modern political satire by first-time filmmaker and actor Dhiraj MV, centers on the consequences of an event that occurs in an old temple. A location for prayer where miracles are expected to occur; all one has to do is crawl beneath a stone sculpture of an elephant and pray fervently. When one of these individuals is discovered to be a Muslim man and becomes trapped beneath the statue, things start to go bad.

The movie Kapata Nataka Sutradhari will be released in theaters on July 4, 2025.
