After Shakuntala Devi, Gulabo Sitabo, Now Bhumi, Konkona’s ‘Dolly Kitty Aur Wo Chamkte Sitare’ To Get An OTT Release

Dolly Kitty Aur Wo Chamakte Sitare, starring Konkona Sen Sharma and Bhumi Pednekar, will have its premiere on an online platform due to Coronavirus outbreak. The two powerhouse performers play siblings in this Alankrita Shrivastava film, that deals with several social taboos and challenges them at large.

We hear that now; the makers of the movie are in discussion with some of the prominent OTT platforms to release Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare.

A source told Pinkvilla, "Negotiations are on at this point and they will settle for the best deal they get. Bhumi and Konkona's film will definitely be releasing online but the team is currently just figuring out which digital giant they will sell it to. It all depends on the money each has to offer. Netflix and Amazon Prime are both in contention."

This implies this would be Bhumi's second digital project, after her brilliant stint in Lust Stories.

Another trade source has been further quoted by Pinkvilla as saying, "The film is mounted on a very small budget, like Alankrita's last film Lipstick Under My Burkha. This is again a very socially relevant film, which caters to a particular target audience, which is also similar to what the OTT giants cater to. So, it's a good move on the makers' part to sell it off. Theatres aren't showing any signs of reopening in the next two months at least and if all was well, Balaji had initially planned to release Bhumi and Konkona's movie around May itself."

The film was screened at several film festivals including the Busan Film Festival and the Glasgow Film Festival. An official announcement on the same is expected to be made soon.
