Despite glowing reviews, Mithya couldn’t pull crowds to theatres when it released in March 2025. The film’s “festival tag” kept casual audiences away, and it reportedly earned only ₹17 lakh at the box office. However, strong word-of-mouth and critical acclaim helped the film secure a streaming deal.

Starting today, April 18, Mithya is officially available to watch on Amazon Prime Video..

More About Mithya

The film follows Mithun, played by Athish Shetty, a boy fondly called Mithya. His life takes a painful turn after the sudden death of his parents. As relatives fight for his custody, Mithya is uprooted from Mumbai and sent to Udupi, a place that feels completely alien.

In Udupi, Mithya faces more than just a new home. He uncovers cracks in his parents’ relationship and starts questioning the circumstances of his father’s death. Director Sumanth Bhat has revealed (Via Times of India) that the story was inspired by a real incident that deeply moved him.

The cast also features Prakash Thuminad and Roopa Varkady in key roles. Music is composed by Midhun Mukundan, whose background score adds weight to Mithya’s emotional journey.

With Mithya now available on Prime Video, viewers finally get a chance to experience this poignant story from the comfort of their homes. If you’re a fan of character-driven cinema, this one is worth adding to your watchlist.
