Saiyaara has been creating box office records one after another since its opening day. The Mohit Suri directorial will have an OTT release on the streaming giant Netflix in the coming months. But reports suggest, the makers are in talks with Netflix to push the release date around Diwali.
What's Happening
- Usually, Hindi films release on OTT platforms after eight weeks of their theatrical release.
- Twisting the norm, the makers are trying to widen the window period from 8 weeks to 90 days (three months), as per a Times Of India report.
- Mounted on a decent budget of Rs 45 crore, Saiyaara already minted more than Rs 150 crore at the domestic box office.
- As there's no Hindi release around the corner, the makers are trying to maximize its theatrical collections.
- Saiyaara, which is supposed to release on Netflix in the second week of September as per normal rule, might release around Diwali if the deal is materialised.
- After six days of its release, the film minted Rs 153.25 crore.
