Kartik Aaryan's Dhamaka scheduled for release in October 2021

Over the past few weeks, there have been several reports about Kartik Aaryan starrer Dhamaka. The Ram Madhvani directorial that has since been obtained by streaming on Netflix made headlines when the OTT platform announced its list of forthcoming releases. Though Netflix did not set a date for the release of Dhamaka, reporters have learnt that the film will release on the OTT platform in October 2021.

A well placed industry source informed reporters, “The current outline is such that more and more films are opting for an OTT release particularly since theatres are closed due to covid. Keeping this in mind, OTT platforms are now putting releases in the quick lineup, and Kartik Aaryan’s Dhamaka is one of them.” Further talking about the release in October the source continues, “Yes, Netflix has locked the release of Dhamaka in October this year. The reason being, the festive season of Navratri and Dusshera. Being the usual release design for films to release on festive occasions, the OTT is looking to increase its viewership with a similar method.”

While an official reveal of the release date is awaited, Dhamaka which is directed by Ram Madhvani is said to be a remake of The Terror Live, a 2013 South Korean film. The story of the film is about a news anchor played by Kartik Aaryan who tries to use a terrorist attack to improve his career.
