There is a significant divide between the digital release culture of Hindi and South Indian films. While Bollywood moved to longer 8 weeks window format long back, the south Indian films still follow the conventional 4 weeks window format. Because of that films generally have separate platforms for Hindi and the remaining languages. But good for the fans of Dulquer Salmaan, his latest venture will be available on Disney+Hotstar in all the languages.
“King Of Kotha,” the Malayalam period action drama is finally ready for digital release in Hindi. After a successful digital release on Disney+Hotstar in Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu on September 29, the Hindi-speaking audience can mark their calendars for an exclusive Hindi OTT release on October 20, 2023, on the same platform.
The film, directed by Abhilash Joshiy and produced by Wayfarer Films and Zee Studios, presents a tale of power, betrayal, and redemption. It unfolds in two parts, spanning a decade, and stars the talented Dulquer Salmaan as Raju, a gangster who rules the crime-infested town of Kotha alongside his friend Kannan. The film’s storyline is rich with complex characters, love, rivalry, and revenge.
The digital release on Disney+Hotstar was an event for fans of Dulquer. Its Hindi release on October 20 will further extend the film’s reach. Let’s wait to see how the Hindi speaking audience receives the film.
