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.


But now, Pen Studios has shared an official statement that their movies RRR, Attack, and Gangubai Kathiawadi will release in theatres. They tweeted, “We would like to clarify that Gangubai Kathiawadi, RRR and Attack will release in cinemas. - Dr Jayantilal Gada Chairman and MD Pen Studios.”

The statement reads, “We would like to clarify that Gangubai Kathiawadi, RRR & Attack will release in Cinemas. There have been several rumours doing rounds about these films releasing on OTT platforms before cinemas which are untrue. These magnum opus films are made for big screen experience and would be releasing in theatres.”

Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Gangubai Kathiawadi stars Alia Bhatt in the lead role. The movie was slated to release in July this year, but it was postponed.

RRR, which is directed by SS Rajamouli, features Ram Charan, Jr NTR, Ajay Devgn, and Alia Bhatt. It is scheduled to hit the big screens on 13th October 2021.

Attack starring John Abraham, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Rakul Preet Singh is directed by Lakshya Raj Anand. The film was slated to release in theatres on 13th August 2021 but was postponed. The new release date is yet to be announced.

Euphoria

The series often opts for surface-level provocation, leaving its themes underexplored

'Euphoria' is all sex, drugs and toxic relationships with barely any story left

Highlights

  • Zendaya, Jacob Elordi and Sydney Sweeney return for the third and final season
  • Series leans heavily on explicit themes, with limited narrative depth
  • Four-year time jump reshapes characters but offers little progression
  • Moments of emotional weight remain, but are largely overshadowed

From cultural moment to creative fatigue

When Euphoria first arrived in 2019, it sparked debate for its raw depiction of teenage life, pairing explicit content with striking visuals and a strong emotional core. Its mix of stylised storytelling and difficult subject matter set it apart, while its young cast quickly rose to prominence.

In its third and final season, that balance appears to have shifted. The show retains its provocative tone but offers less of the layered storytelling that once gave it weight.
