These days OTT platforms have become the preferred ways of entertainment. Theaters have not died but the scenario of movie watching has definitely changed a lot, especially since the pandemic. Still, movies are released in theaters and many are huge success at box office too. Recently, a Bollywood movie "Saiyaara" hit the theater with two debutant in leading roles. The movie sweeped the box office and was trending on all social media platforms and digital platforms with all accolades. Records were broken and new records were made. There was not much buzz around the movie before release, it became a trend after the release. A huge response and appreciation from audiences made it the talk of the town. Youths, especially Gen Z went crazy. I did not watch the movie in theater. I didn't find an appeal for whatever reason. Yesterday, we watched it on Netflix. It was a good watch but nothing extra special to be in such limelight and talks. It was much of hype. I am glad that I did wait for it to come on OTT and saved my time and money visiting theater .
