Khuda Haafiz which  was released on Disney Hotstar in August and was one of the very few OTT succeses of the year along with Laxmi, Coolie No1 and Dil Bechara (read here). has reiterated that success on satellite as it racked up almost 55 lakh impressions. Its not success at the level of Commando 3 which also featured the same actor Vidyut Jammwal but 10 lakh views on OTT on release and 55 lakh impressions on satellite release are decent results especially in this horrible year.

Gunjan Saxena - The Kargil Girl which also released in August on Netflix in had mediocre results on satellite as it recorded 31.5 lakh impressions on release. This is 42% less than Khuda Haafiz. Although its actually better than Dil Bechara but thats not saying much as Dil Bechara was not much of a film and its OTT success was mainly as the release was post the death of its lead actor Sushant Singh Rajput. The numbers of Gunjan Saxena - The Kargil Girl  on satellite means its pretty much lights out for the film in the long run.

The biggest BLOCKBUSTER ever in Indian cinema SHOLAY (1975) again showed the force it is still today as it racked up almost 45 lakh impressions. This is 45 years after release and the audience still cant get enough of the epic. Its the greatest example of critics mouth saying one thing and the paying public doing exactly the opposite. The pocket never lies but words coming out of mouths of critics are usually lack of knowledge on films or lies and there is no bigger proof of that than Sholay.
