The release date for the film 'Udta Tir,' starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan, has been moved. Instead of the originally planned date of October 9, the premiere will take place on October 23 in cinemas.
The creators made this decision after the film 'Drishyam 3' achieved massive success at the box office. This film earned over 66 million rupees on its release day, surprising both audiences and the industry.
In light of the change in release date, the creators issued an official statement. They noted that the trailer and promotional campaign for the film received a very positive response from the public, generating significant buzz. Therefore, they decided it was better to postpone the release to avoid competition for screens amid a high volume of viewers. This strategic move is expected to allow the film more screenings and attract the maximum audience.
Ayushmann Khurrana also expressed enthusiasm for his new movie. He believes that 'Udta Tir' represents a return to his familiar style and original content, which has always appealed to viewers. He hopes that when the film is released on October 23, the public will see his previous and unique self.
The primary reason cited for postponing the release of 'Udta Tir' is the box office success of 'Drishyam 3: The Conclusion.' According to data from the website Box Office Tracker Saklannik, the film earned a net of 66.75 million rupees and a gross of 80.10 million rupees in India from 15,759 screenings on the first day. Furthermore, with international earnings amounting to 15 million rupees, the total worldwide gross reached 95.10 million rupees. The creators of 'Udta Tir' made this decision to avoid clashing with such a dominant hit at the box office.
It is not the first time in the film industry that release dates have been shifted to prevent box office clashes. Previously, when there was fear surrounding 'Dhurandar: The Revenge' in theaters, the creators of the film 'Toxic' also showed foresight by pushing back their release date. However, despite all calculations and strategies, 'Toxic' failed to achieve success at the box office and turned out to be a flop. Now, it remains to be seen whether 'Udta Tir' can win over the hearts of viewers on October 23.
