Barroz OTT release date: When, where to watch Mohanlal’s fantasy flop film
The Malayalam fantasy film Barroz, which was headlined by the superstar Mohanlal and also marked his directorial debut, was released in cinemas on December 25 last year. Though the film was lauded for its 3D effects, it bombed at the box office and made just Rs 20 crore worldwide against its massive budget of Rs 150 crore.
Within a month of its theatrical release, Barroz started streaming on Disney+ Hotstar platform from January 22 in the original Malayalam language and the dubbed versions in Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada language. The streaming giant took to its social media handles and shared the announcement poster on Wednesday.
After its failure, Mohanlal defended its box office performance and told India Today Digital, "We've released only 3D prints, and that was the best decision. People ask, 'Why didn't you also have a 2D (version)?' But why should we? People should enjoy this experience first, and if it's necessary, we have 2D prints available as well. So, this is not for the numbers or the money.
