Hello, my dear Bollywood buffs! Khabree Kiran here, with another juicy tidbit from the ever-dramatic world of Hindi films. Grab your chai and settle in, because today’s update is hotter than your mom’s samosas! 🍵
You know, when a star kid debuts, we expect fireworks, right? But alas, for Rasha Thadani, the daughter of Bollywood’s own Raveena Tandon, and Aaman Devgan, nephew to the Singham himself, Ajay Devgn, it seems more like sparklers that fizzled out. Their film Azaad hit Netflix, but with a thud rather than a bang. In the world of OTT platforms, this period drama has managed to secure the second-lowest debut for an Indian film on Netflix in the 2024-25 timeline. Ouch! 😬
Azaad OTT Week 2 Rundown
So, what’s the kahani, you ask? Well, from March 10 to March 16, Netflix’s own data shows that Azaad managed to reel in 1.1 million views, landing it the 10th spot on the global chart for non-English films. Yet, when compared to other star-kid debuts, it’s like comparing a rickshaw to a Ferrari. 🚗💨
Here’s the leaderboard of low-performing flicks on Netflix this year:
- Azaad: 1.1 Million
- All India Rank: 1.1 Million
- Guntur Kaaram Hindi: 1.1 Million
- Mr Bachchan: 1 Million
- Rifle Club: 1 Million
Star Kid Struggles
Rasha and Aaman have the dubious honor of having the weakest debut amongst their star-kid peers. For context, Ibrahim Ali Khan’s Nadaaniyan hit 3.9 million views, and Aamir Khan’s lad, Junaid Khan with Maharaj, clocked in at 5.3 million. Better luck next time, bacchas! 🤞Netflix, by the way, tallies these numbers weekly, irrespective of whether your film dropped on a Monday or a Friday. So, there’s no hiding behind a mid-week release here!
Kiran’s Gyan
Bollywood’s Hukum: Remember folks, star lineage might get you through the door, but talent and timing are what make the audience stick around! So, Rasha and Aaman, time to put on your dancing shoes and give it another whirl. Next time, aim for the stars—literally and figuratively! 🌟Stay tuned for more mirch-masala and OTT verdicts. Until next time, keep your popcorn ready and your gossip meters on high alert! 🍿
