The Role of OTT Platforms in Globalizing Kannada Films
Abstract: The growth of OTT platforms has changed how regional films in India are distributed and watched. Earlier, Kannada films were mostly seen by audiences within Karnataka. Today, digital streaming platforms allow these films to reach viewers across India and even in other countries. This article studies how OTT platforms help Kannada cinema gain global recognition. It explains how streaming services increase audience access, provide subtitles and dubbing in different languages, and promote stories based on local culture. The study also examines how these platforms influence filmmaking and create new opportunities for Kannada filmmakers. Overall, the research shows that OTT platforms play an important role in connecting Kannada films with global audiences and helping them reach beyond language and regional boundaries.
