After more than seven years in the pipeline, Brahmastra hit the big screens last month. Although the film received mixed reviews from critics, the film caused quite a stir at the box office. From the real-life couple Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt’s chemistry to the film’s mythological theme, much of it garnered praise from audiences. Now the makers are planning to release the film on the OTT platform and the rights have reportedly been acquired by Disney+ Hotstar. And now recent reports suggest it will premiere on October 23.
Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt starrer Brahmastra finally gets an OTT release date: Reports
While there is no confirmation from the creators or the OTT platform, the reports say the streaming platform deems the date appropriate as it also falls in the midst of the Diwali festivities. The first day of Diwali kicks off on October 22 and the weekend is not expected to see any Bollywood or big-budget releases given the arrival of the festival. However, the same is awaited for an official update.
Speaking of Brahmastra, the film was strong in its third week and the grand total was pushed to Rs. 255.50 crores which also includes collections in all languages at just over Rs. 20 crores that came from the southern versions, mainly Telugu. The film also benefited greatly from National Cinema Day, which was celebrated last month when ticket prices were slashed to nearly Rs. 75.
In addition to Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, Brahmastra also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna and Mouni Roy in pivotal roles. The film also had cameos from superstars like Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone trying to play some impressive characters in the fantasy drama. Readers will be aware that Brahmastra Part One Shiva is the first in the Brahmastra trilogy. Director Ayan Mukerji had revealed that the second part will be called Dev and Ranveer Singh is rumored to be playing the character. Produced by Dharma Productions, the film hit the big screens on September 9.
