Kannada superstar Kiccha Sudeep’s latest action thriller Mark is gearing up for its digital premiere after completing its theatrical run.

As the film prepares to reach a wider audience on OTT, here’s a detailed look at Mark’s theatrical performance, streaming details, storyline, and cast.

Mark Box Office Collection: How Did the Film Perform in Theatres?

Despite a strong opening, Mark struggled to sustain momentum at the box office.

Key Box Office Numbers

• Day 1 collection: Over ₹10 crore

• Kannada version total: ₹26 crore

• Tamil + Telugu versions (combined): Just over ₹1 crore

• Worldwide box office collection: Approximately ₹32–35 crore

• Reported budget: Around ₹40 crore

After a sharp drop of more than 60% on Day 2, the film’s collections continued to decline. Trade trackers noted that by the end of its second week, the film had largely exhausted its theatrical potential. The dubbed Tamil and Telugu versions failed to connect with audiences, contributing minimally to the overall gross.

Why Mark Fell Short at the Box Office

Unlike Max, which relied on tight storytelling and realism, Mark leaned heavily into mass elevations and stylised action. While this approach delivered an impressive opening, it did not translate into sustained footfalls.

Factors affecting performance included:

• Steep drop after opening day

• Weak response to dubbed versions outside Karnataka

• Competition from other Christmas releases

• Mixed word of mouth

As a result, Mark is considered an underperformer relative to its scale and budget.

Mark Story and Plot Summary

Mark is aninvestigative action thriller that sees Kiccha Sudeep in familiar cop territory. He plays SP Ajay Markandeya, a suspended police officer with a controversial past.

The story kicks into motion when Mark is drawn into a case involving the kidnapping of multiple children, including the daughter of his housekeeper. As he digs deeper, he uncovers a dangerous nexus involving a pharma cartel, child trafficking racket, and a corrupt politician who previously orchestrated his suspension.

Theatrical Release Details

Mark released in theatres during Christmas 2025 in Kannada, Tamil, and Telugu. While the Kannada version performed relatively better due to Sudeep’s strong home-state fan base, the film failed to gain traction in other markets.

Although Mark did not meet expectations at the box office, its multi-language OTT release allows it to reach a broader audience. Fans of Kiccha Sudeep and action-heavy cop dramas may still find value in its high-stakes narrative and ensemble cast.

With its OTT debut on JioHotstar on January 23, 2026, Mark will now be judged on digital reception rather than theatrical numbers.
