Laal Singh Chaddha To Release On Netflix On October 20

Aamir
Khan-Kareena
Kapoor
Khan’s
Indian
adaptation
of
the
Hollywood
classic

Forrest
Gump
titled

Laal
Singh
Chaddha
was
one
of
the
most-anticipated
films
of
this
year.
Unfortunately,
upon
its
theatrical
release,
the
film
failed
to
set
the
cash
registers
ringing
at
the
box
office.

The
human
drama
stirred
controversy
for
several
reasons
and
even
fall
prey
to
the
cancel
culture.
Made
on
an
estimated
budget
of
Rs
180
crores,
the
movie
minted
a
lifetime
collection
of
Rs
58.18
Crore
at
the
domestic
box
office.
It
turned
out
to
be
one
of
Aamir’s
weakest
performance
at
the
ticket
windows
in
almost
a
decade.

Previously,
it
was
reported
that
the
Advait
Chandan-directorial
will
be
releasing
on
the
OTT
platforms
after
six
months.
But
now,
there
is
a
strong
buzz
in
the
trade
that
the
makers
are
planning
an
early
release
for

Laal
Singh
Chaddha
to
minimise
their
losses.
Buzz
is
that
the
film
is
scheduled
to
release
on
Netflix
on
October
20.
Apparently,
the
OTT
giant
signed
the
deal
with
the
makers
of
this
film
after
a
lot
of
back
and
forth.

Trade
analyst
Girish
Johar
took
to
his
Twitter
handle
and
wrote,
“As
per
trade
buzz…
to
minimise
losses
..
the
OTT
premiere
of
#LaalSinghChaddha
will
be
on
20th
Oct
on
#Netflix
instead
of
the
post
6months
theatrical
release,
as
announced
by
#AamirKhan
earlier!”

For
the
unversed,
before
the
release
of

Laal
Singh
Chaddha,
Aamir
Khan
had
said
in
an
interview
that
the
early
0TT
premiere
is
one
of
the
reasons
for
the
poor
performance
of
Hindi
films
at
the
box
office.

“I
believe
that
if
a
movie
is
coming
to
your
home
through
OTT
within
a
few
weeks
after
the
release,
then
why
would
people
go
and
watch
it
in
theatres?

Yeh
toh
wohi
baat
ho
gayi
ki
aap
kahi
mat
jao…
main
aa
raha
hu
aapke
pass.
So,
I
have
always
fought
for
a
6-months
gap
in
the
digital
release,” the
actor
had
said,

However,
the
latest
development
hints
that

Laal
Singh
Chaddha
is
likely
to
get
an
early
OTT
release
though
there
isn’t
any
official
word
yet
from
the
makers
on
this.

Post
Laal
Singh
Chaddha’s
theatrical
release,
there
were
reports
doing
the
rounds
that
the
distributors
of
the
film
have
suffered
from
major
losses
because
of
the
film’s
poor
performance.
However,
the
makers
had
denied
these
speculations.
