Watching movies on OTT platforms after theaters has become common in today’s era. Films that perform well at the box office take time for their digital release, while flop films come on OTT soon. Recently, one such flop Bollywood film has been streamed on Netflix, which failed to draw audiences to theaters but is creating a stir on OTT.
Shahid Kapoor ‘Deva’ dominated Netflix

At present, ‘Deva’ has become the number-1 trending film on Netflix. The audience is watching this movie a lot and it is also being discussed fiercely on social media.
‘Deva’ was weak at the box office
Shahid Kapoor’s ‘Deva’ was released on the big screen on 31 January 2024. There were a lot of expectations from this film, but it could not perform well at the box office and could only make a lifetime collection of Rs 32 crore.
‘Deva’ is a remake of South film
‘Deva’ is actually a Hindi remake of Malayalam cinema’s superhit film ‘Mumbai Police’, which was directed by Roshan Andrews. The original film was well liked by the audience, but ‘Deva’ could not work the same magic. However, it is getting tremendous response on OTT, which must have also given relief to the makers.

Many times the audience misses watching a film in the theater, but on OTT they easily get a chance to watch the film of their choice.
