Netflix To Delay Gangubai Kathiawadi Streaming By A Month

Gangubai Kathiawadi: With the movie theatres  once again showing happy crowds  at  the turnstile  the  uneasy  equation between  cinemas  and   the OTT platform is  poised  for yet another  change .

While the  time-gap between  the theatre and  OTT release  of  a film has  been a huge bone  of contention between the two  parties, the  gap has now widened, what with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s  Gangubai Kathiawadi showing  a massive growth at  the  boxoffice with every passing day.

Apparently Netflix who were  scheduled  to stream Gangubai Kathiawadi  a month after its theatrical  release have been  “requested” to postpone their  streaming plans by at least a month, to allow the  film to grow in the cinemas. Gangubai Kathiawadi will now stream  on Netflix from the last week of April.

One thing is for sure.The war between the two platforms, cinema and OTT, is bound to  intensify  in the coming months.
