No direct-to-digital release for RRR, Attack and Gangubai Kathiawadi

While the theatres in India have started functioning in a few states, the box office collections of BellBottom and Chehre are proof that moviegoers are currently not keen on watching Hindi films in theatres.

Many filmmakers are taking the digital route and releasing their films on streaming platforms. There have been reports of RRR and Gangubai Kathiawadi also getting a direct-to-digital release.
