The aftermath of the global pandemic has harshly impacted the box office collection of movies which forced the makers to release movies online soon breaking their traditional rule as they premiered films on TV or OTT months after the release. The duration was shortened to eight weeks however few filmmakers made it to four weeks to release movies post-theatrical release. Vikram Vedha, the neo-noir classic thriller of Hrithik Roshan, has completed 19 weeks while Bhediya starring Varun Dhawan released 11 weeks ago. The delay in the digital release of both films has created much inquisitiveness among audiences asking what is stopping these movies from their OTT debut.
