It has been yet another dismal start at the box office for this week’s releases. Apart from Phone Bhoot, that opened to poor numbers, Janhvi Kapoor’s Mili and Sonakshi Sinha and Huma Qureshi’s Double XL fared worse. Both these films were initially meant to be direct to digital releases but OTT platforms insist for a theatrical release first, for more leverage. Many films in the last few months have been forcefully released theatrically because of no other alternative.
