The Kerala Story finds difficult to get OTT platform; a big conspiracy or something else?

The Kerala Story was an unexpected hit making a business of 230 crore plus. Without any presence of big names and stars, this Vipul Shah-produced movie featuring Adah Sharma in the lead role became such a big film. Despite all the success, it is now finding it hard to get a digital platform for its OTT release.

Throwing light on the buzz that The Kerala Story is gearing up to release soon on OTT, the director Sudipto Sen said that all these are merely rumours as their movie is yet to get a suitable offer from any leading Indian digital platform.

According to Sudipto, the makers are yet to get any offer worth considering and seems like the industry is ganging up against the team of TKS for the unprecedented success the movie has received.

Coming directly from someone who helmed The Kerala Stories it is really serious. The director believes that no one expected this movie to be such a big success and receive so much support not only in the theaters but also on social media and in many different groups and communities.

In Sudipto’s words, the success of The Kerala Stories has irked many from the film industry and that is why all of them have united to punish the makers for this success.

After YRF’s Pathaan, TKS is the most successful movie of 2023, and many movies of big stars like Salman Khan’s Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, Akshay Kumar’s Selfiee, or Ajay Devgn’s Bholaa are way behind it. Even then the digital rights of these movies got easily sold whereas despite being a huge success TKS is struggling to get the right price by a digital platform.

However, on the good side, the intention of the makers has served its purpose. Sudipto and Vipul wanted to create awareness about conversion and they certainly have managed to do that.
