Mark Movie Review
There is a wonderful Christmas movie called ‘Mark’. Mark was released on December 25, 2025. It is a Kannada-language action thriller film directed by Vijay Karthikeya. Kichcha Sudeep plays the lead role. The story is about an honest and principled police officer who is dismissed from his job for this very reason. This extremely honest and suspicious protagonist enters the film with full force.
This creates a kind of suspicion towards him within the police force, because powerful people, or perhaps politicians, cannot tolerate him. The police officer is extremely honest against all criminals. Some people cannot tolerate these things. But one day, an incident occurs where he confronts corrupt politicians in the course of his duty. The police officer truly faces some different kinds of conflicts.
After stepping down from his job as a reliable government investigator, other criminals in politics take advantage of this and begin their work. Although he was an honest and professional police officer, due to pressure from some people, he couldn’t properly perform the political tasks he was supposed to do, meaning he couldn’t commit any wrongdoing. So, they cleverly plan to frame him for the criminals’ actions.
They lie against him and dismiss him from his job so that they can do whatever they want once he loses his job. The police officer leaves his post, and it can be said that the politicians take away his job and start working there. Then, a series of horrific events begin to unfold. After the police officer leaves his job, a series of incidents occur in the village that are truly heartbreaking and terrifying.
These kinds of events keep happening: innocent children disappear overnight, children are kidnapped, the children’s families are tortured, and young children are driven out of the village. And amidst all this, we see political and power-hungry activities, mafia, drugs, and networks. And all this is not happening randomly; it is a conspiracy. A conspiracy had led to the police officer’s dismissal.
The child kidnappings and disappearances in the village are also part of a conspiracy. And the child kidnappers are the same people. The criminal who dismissed the police officer on false charges is the real culprit. This too was a conspiracy. And there are other conspiracies, about which most people have no idea. Any mother who comes forward to save her children, any father who comes forward to save his children, is brutally beaten and tortured. The same thing is happening in Mark’s case.
There is no end to the brutality against children, families, and villagers. So here we see a Chief Minister who is a murderer, and his son is power-hungry. They are blinded by extreme greed and lust for power. And that’s why he says, “I will take as many lives as I need for this. I will slit as many throats as I need to, but I will not back down.
” So, however incompetent the Chief Minister himself may be, his son is many times worse because of his lust for power. And that’s why he dismissed that police officer, because he was honest. He wasn’t greedy, and he didn’t want the force’s reputation to be tarnished. So when the truth comes out, you can’t manipulate it. As a result, the police officer was removed due to the lust for power. Then the innocent children of the village were tortured.
Then his family was tortured. That is, anyone who obstructed his work, even if they weren’t a noble person, met the same fate. They were brutally murdered. So his son, the Chief Minister’s son, says, “Whoever comes in my way, I will slit their throat, no matter how brutally I have to kill them. But he is power-hungry, so I will not back down.”
He once brutally attacked Mark’s family and his mother. He also tortured him. Once Mark is informed of the situation and the police come to rescue him, he has nothing left to do and he only has 18 hours. He has to save his family and all the children of the village. And he also has to save all the children involved politically.
