Hindi Movies That Were Popular on OTT but Failed at the Box Office

Various people on social media came up with absurd justifications to avoid many Hindi movies, and they successfully influenced the box office take during theatrical releases. But unfortunately, many individuals did the same, blindly following the fad.

However, OTT platforms told a different tale. Even though they were box office duds, movies that were released on Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hotstar, among other platforms, managed to win over viewers.

Let’s look at the list of such movies.

1. Jayeshbhai Jordaar

At the box office, Jayeshbhai Jordaar did not perform well. According to reports, it failed to make even half of the 86 crore rupees that were spent on its production. The movie had already experienced multiple delays before its release because of Covid-19, and the Indian public was still getting back to normal after the pandemic.

It appeared as though curiosity had waned. But once the movie was available on Amazon Prime Video, viewers were enthralled by Ranveer Singh and the storyline.

2. Jersey

The Telugu movie Jersey has a Hindi adaptation with the same name. The Shahid-Kapoor starrer’s theatrical release did not bring in much money. Both films featured a cricket-related plot and were released around the same time in 83.

Following its debut on Disney + Hotstar, the film was well-received by viewers. People complimented Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur’s performances.

3. Laal Singh Chaddha

One of the failures at the box office was Laal Singh Chaddha. Additionally, it received heavy trolling on Twitter in response to several remarks made by Kareena Kapoor Khan and Aamir Khan.
