"Indian 2," which brought together the iconic talents of Kamal Haasan and director Shankar, was highly anticipated to perform well at the worldwide box office.
However, the film has turned out to be a major disappointment, failing to meet expectations and becoming a significant box office flop.
Following its rejection by the audience, there were rumors of an early release on OTT platforms, but it appears this may be delayed.
As a sequel to the 1996 blockbuster "Indian," expectations were high, particularly given the long development period. However, the film received negative reviews upon its theatrical release, leading to poor box office performance.
According to the latest reports, "Indian 2" has grossed just 81 crores net at the Indian box office, which amounts to 95.58 crores gross. Overseas, the film has earned 51 crores gross. This brings the total worldwide box office collection to 146.58 crores gross.
Due to its poor reception, the film's screenings have been significantly reduced globally.
Given its substantial reported budget of 250 crores, the domestic earnings of 81 crores are underwhelming.
As a result, Netflix, which had secured the streaming rights for 120 crores before the theatrical release, is now reconsidering the terms of the deal due to the film's failure to perform as expected.
Recently, OTT platforms have been adjusting the final deal amounts based on a film's box office performance.
For "Indian 2," negotiations between Netflix and the filmmakers are expected, delaying the film's OTT premiere until an agreement is reached.
