Instead of coming on Netflix as planned for, Arjun Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar’s movie office flop The Lady Killer, which discreetly releases on YouTube, is mocked.
Bhumi Pednekar and Arjun Kapoor are two of Bollywood’s most underappreciated actors. As a result, fans were undoubtedly eager to see what they would deliver when it was revealed that they would be teaming up for The Lady Killer (2023). Sadly, when their crime thriller was released in November of last year, it didn’t excite movie aficionados and turned out to be one of the worst box office failures the Indian film industry has ever seen. Indeed, box office catastrophes have been known to resurrect themselves on digital platforms in the past. Fans believed The Lady Killer had a chance to make amends when word leaked that it would be available on Netflix. But it appears that the agreement broke down.
Following the silent September 2 premiere of Arjun and Bhumi’s film on the streaming service YouTube, social media users have come to this conclusion. Netizens who discovered The Lady Killer while browsing the internet were shocked to see that there was no buzz about the movie. The reviews are in, and a lot of them are mocking the Ajay Bahl-directed film, which looks to have holes in it and confusing scenes.
In the comment section that follow, one social media fan wrote: “Theatre me nhi chli toh youtube pe free me de diya, gajab bejjati����”, and another troll commented, “The film broke the record of Dhaakad, to become the most terrible post pandemic bollywood film ever������.” An internet user joked about the box office catastrophe, saying, “Hidden gem movie… Please keep it secret”, whereas another review read: “Story kuch hai hi ni ekdm bkwas jhutham jhuth chal rha. “Total time waste.” A troll wrote: “Film itni gem hai ki koi ott platform iske content khareed hi nhi payi��������”, while another suggested: “Don’t spend your time to watch. “Very boring.”
Having perused these reviews posted by users, what are your thoights ? will you be watching The Lady Killer, starring Arjun and Bhumi, on Netflix this week?
