For fans eagerly waiting to watch Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar The Revenge from the comfort of their homes, JioHotstar's decision to live-stream the film on its platform seemed like a reason to celebrate. However, the excitement was short-lived as disgruntled viewers took to social media to express their frustration over the format, which stripped away one of the biggest perks of an OTT release – the freedom to watch on their own schedule.
Many users claimed that the live-streaming format dampened the overall viewing experience, with some even calling it the 'dumbest idea of all time.' The film has been made available for regular streaming from June 5, but the damage had already been done, with many viewers expressing their disappointment and frustration over the platform's decision.
Dhurandhar The Revenge made its digital debut in India on JioHotstar on June 4, with the platform opting for a live-streaming format for the premiere. The film, which is a spy thriller directed by Aditya Dhar, has been praised for its slick narrative, but has also been criticized for allegedly glorifying the BJP administration while downplaying the achievements of previous governments.
