Some decisions eventually become big regrets. However, one cannot change them. Such mistake was done by Victory Venkatesh and Lalettan Mohan Lal. They were the lead actors of Drishyam and it’s sequel Drishyam 2 in Telugu and Malayalam languages respectively. However, both the movies got released on OTT platforms.
The decision of going to direct OTT release is probably a costly mistake. The latest release of Drishyam 2 Hindi version is creating box office storm. It has surpassed all expectations and is becoming a sensational hit.
As Bollywood is undergoing a slump, trade circles are worried about the future of Bollywood. South movies are contributing around 60% of multiplex revenue in India. In this situation, Drishyam 2 is a major relief for Bollywood.
Venkatesh had previously made a similar mistake with Asuran remake, Narappa. The movie is ideal for mass audiences and B centers. The same happened with Drishyam 2, which has all the elements to bring masses and families to theaters. Hope Venkatesh realizes it sooner or later.
Meanwhile, Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 2 has recorded one of the best advance sales of tickets for any Hindi film this year, and the same has been reflected clearly in the film’s opening day box office collections. It has broken the opening day record of this year’s one of the blockbusters, Bhool Bhulaiyya 2 which earned Rs 14.11 crore on the day of its release. The film has earned Rs 15.38 crore on Friday.
