A college trip meant for fun slowly slips into something nobody saw coming. That is the unsettling promise of Thaytha, Laya Kokila’s first film as a director. Read below to know when and where to watch this new Kannada horror movie online.
The Kannada survival horror thriller reaches theatres across Karnataka on October 30, 2026. It stars Shaik Riyan and Harshika Poonacha in the lead, with Shaik Shahid, Sadhu Kokila, Shobhraj, and Laya Kokila also playing key roles.
At first, the story feels familiar. A close-knit group of college students shares laughs, light romance, and the kind of teasing that seems harmless. But campus ragging soon takes a darker shape, and a friendly trip meant to bring a couple together becomes a fight to stay alive.
Once the students find themselves stranded, the film shifts gears. The location carries a paranormal presence, turning friendship, fear, and guilt into a dangerous mix. Expect suspense, jump scares, and a thriller pace rather than a straightforward campus drama.
More about Thaytha movie
Laya Kokila wears several hats here. He directs the film, acts in it, and has composed its music along with K Sathwik Padiyar. The title track and full album add to the film’s eerie mood, while the cast includes familiar names such as Sadhu Kokila and Shobhraj.
For now, Thaytha is a theatrical release. There has been no official announcement about its OTT platform or digital premiere date, so viewers will need to wait for an update from the makers.
