Overview
- The blockbuster began streaming on January 30–31 and reached the top spot on Netflix India within 24 hours, according to trade coverage and the platform’s posts.
- Following viewer reports of desaturated colours and low picture quality, multiple outlets report Netflix updated the stream with a higher bitrate, and users noted visible improvement.
- The OTT version reflects the revised theatrical print that muted a Baloch reference after a censor update, with no widely reported new cuts beyond that change.
- Confusion persists over edits after a Pinkvilla-sourced claim that producers delivered the film without changes, which contrasts with the documented muted dialogue in later theatrical versions.
- Conversation on social media intensified, with many OTT viewers calling Ranveer Singh the standout over Akshaye Khanna, while filmmaker Shazia Iqbal condemned the film’s political framing as “sinister.”
