For viewers in India, Karnika is now available on ManoramaMAX. The official confirmation was posted by the platform on Instagram:

Directed by Arun Venpala, who also composed the music, the film is produced by Abhini Sohan. It features Priyanka Nair, Viaan Mangalashery, TG Ravi, Kriss Venugopal, and Aadhav Ramachandran in pivotal roles. The story is set in the eerie village of Peyavoor, where a writer is attacked under mysterious circumstances. As the police dig deeper, the investigation leads them to Poovarasi Mana, an ancestral house cloaked in silence and secrets.

Though it opened to mixed reactions from both critics and audiences during its theatrical run, Karnika’s digital release is a second wind—an opportunity for the slow-burn mystery to find its audience among thriller lovers who may have missed it the first time around. With its atmospheric setting, suspenseful pacing, and haunting score, the film promises a brooding watch for those who enjoy unravelling psychological puzzles set against culturally rich backdrops.
