A few good films had a great fate in 2024. They were received greatly, and they became huge hits. Even on OTT, people did not get bored of them.
Out of them, two movies had a similar fate.
We are talking about Maharaja and Lucky Bhaskar.
Maharaja, starring Vijay Sethupathi, was a big success when it was released in theatres. People loved the action and gripping story, and the movie earned a lot of money worldwide. But even after its great performance in theatres, the film became one of the most-watched films on Netflix India. It continued to attract viewers, making it even more popular.
Similarly, Lucky Bhaskar, the Telugu film featuring Dulquer Salmaan, also became a massive hit at the box office. The movie’s exciting plot and strong performances made it a fan favourite. Just like Maharaja, Lucky Bhaskar also did very well on Netflix India. It became one of the most-watched films on the platform in 2024, even after its successful run in theatres.
Both films showed that a brilliant story and powerful performances can make a movie successful not just in theaters, but also on streaming platforms. They also became one of the most-watched films on the platform with Maharaja topping the list and Lucky Bhaskar penetrating it in a very very short period of time.
Eerie similarities but a great one.
