Bollywood’s favourite superstar Akshay Kumar recently impressed the viewers with his latest movie Cuttputlli. The audience was left stunned and amazed by the unique storyline and screenplay of the OTT film. However, what do you think the film would have made at the box office if it would have released at the theatres?
Lately, OTT has taken over a huge chunk of Indian cinema. Since the start of the pandemic, we have seen a big boom in OTT platforms. Many films and serials have adapted the web platform for its premiere. Now that the pandemic has grown silent, the cinema still doesn’t seem to let go of the platform. Recently, action star Akshay’s new film Cuttputlli was released on the bigwig OTT platform Disney+ Hotstar.
Akshay Kumar starrer Cuttputlli:
Along with Akshay, the audience also got to see two actresses in the lead. Rakul Preet Singh and Sargun Mehta also had prominent roles to play in the film. The film also starred Chandrachur Singh and Hrishitaa Bhatt. Cuttputlli was directed by Ranjit M Tewari.
As per the trade experts if the film would have been released at the box office, then its lifetime collection would have been Rs. 30 to 35 crores. Even after some extent of advantage of Kumar’s presence in the film, it would have had a poor-to-average start. However, due to the flawed climax and a little niche appeal, its business would have been restricted.
Taran Adarsh said, “I liked Cuttputlli in parts. Also, Cuttputlli came just three weeks after Kumar’s Raksha Bandhan, though it was released for OTT. Yet, for an A-lister, it leads to overexposure. In six and a half months, he has had four releases – Bachchhan Paandey, Samrat Prithviraj, Raksha Bandhan and Cuttputlli. Akshay is a great entertainer, without a doubt. But fatigue comes in when you have so many releases in such a short span of time. And this would happen to any actor today. I can understand that the pandemic has pushed the world. Yet, it’s important to space out your releases.”
So, this was all about the Akshay Kumar starrer Cuttputlli. Stay connected to Bollywood Hush for more Bollywood News Updates.
