In the current era, many films are still being released on OTT. Recently Ajay Devgan’s ‘Bhuj: The Pride of India’ and Siddharth Malhotra’s ‘Shershah’ have also been released on OTT. One of the major reasons for this is that the Maharashtra government has not yet given instructions to reopen cinemas. The biggest markets for Hindi films are Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra, Delhi and Madhya Pradesh. In such a situation, ‘Bell Bottom’ may have to suffer. But the advance booking of the film has been very good. So, good collection is also expected.
