April’s OTT releases brought a mix of highs and lows, with some standout performances and disappointing offerings. Kapil Sharma’s return on Netflix failed to impress with lack of innovation, while Chamkila received critical acclaim but struggled to engage the audience. Manoj Bajpayee’s Silence 2 left viewers disappointed, contrasting with Tanve Azmi’s standout performance in Dil Dosti Dilemma.
Kapil Sharma’s new show on Netflix felt like old wine in a new bottle, with little new to offer. However, Sharma has promised improvements in the coming weeks, so viewers may want to keep an eye out for any changes. Chamkila, on the other hand, received rave reviews but failed to attract the audience it deserved. Imtiaz Ali’s storytelling in the film was praised, but the moral compass of the story seemed lost.
Manoj Bajpayee’s performance in Silence 2 was a letdown, with the film failing to showcase his talent effectively. In contrast, Tanve Azmi’s performance in Dil Dosti Dilemma was a standout, with the show managing to overcome its cliches and plotholes.
Looking ahead, all eyes are now on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi, with expectations high for its success on Netflix. As the OTT landscape continues to evolve, viewers can expect a mix of hits and misses in the coming months.
