Landlord is a powerful Kannada action-drama film starring Duniya Vijay (also known as Vijaya Kumar) in the lead. It released in theatres on January 23, 2026, and now fans are waiting for it to come online.
OTT Platform & Release Update ZEE5 has reportedly acquired the digital streaming rights (along with satellite rights for Zee Kannada TV). Multiple reports and industry buzz confirm this, as ZEE5 has a good track record with similar Kannada films like Kaatera and Garuda Gamana Vrishabha Vahana. No official date is announced yet (as of March 6, 2026), but based on standard 30–60 day windows for Kannada movies, it should stream around late February to mid-March 2026. Some sources suggested late February, but since we are now in March, expect it very soon – possibly this month or early April if delayed. Check ZEE5 app or official announcements for exact date. The film will be in Kannada original, with subtitles, and possibly dubs in other languages.
Story in Short Set in a rural village during the 1980s period, the story shows a brutal landlord who rules with fear and injustice. Poor people suffer, and justice is denied. A brave young woman constable stands up against the system. When a innocent family is burnt alive, anger turns into a big uprising. It’s full of intense action, drama, social message on oppression, equality, and fight for rights. The film runs for about 156 minutes (2 hours 36 minutes) with a U/A certificate (some violence and heavy themes).
Theatrical Run & Reviews It got mixed reviews. Many praised the strong story, Duniya Vijay’s powerful acting, Raj B Shetty’s performance (unexpected and good), intense scenes, and period setting. Dialogues and music by B. Ajaneesh Loknath were highlights. But some said the story felt predictable or too one-sided. Box office was modest – around ₹6-7 crore lifetime (not a big hit). It appealed more to audiences who like social action dramas with message.
Why OTT Will Be Good On ZEE5, you can watch comfortably at home. The long runtime suits pausing during action or emotional parts. Subtitles help follow dialogues. It’s meaningful for those interested in rural injustice or social issues – sparks good discussions. But edge cases: Heavy violence, burning scenes, and oppression themes might feel disturbing or intense. If sensitive to such topics or prefer light movies, it could be heavy. Not for kids – better for mature viewers.
This film continues the trend of Kannada cinema tackling real social problems. If it does well on OTT, it could reach more people and start talks on equality. For Duniya Vijay fans or action-drama lovers, it’s worth waiting for.
