Mangala was a weekly Kannada film magazine circulated in Karnataka, India.[1][2]

The publisher temporarily halted its operations during the COVID lockdown but resumed publishing once restrictions were lifted. However, it permanently ceased publication in October 2023 due to rising operating costs and high maintenance charges.[3]
