Maidaan, Starring Ajay Devgn, Makes Its Debut On OTT Platforms

It all happened in 2024 when Bollywood star Ajay Devgn experienced two theatrical releases Shaitaan and Maidaan.

While the former received mixed reviews, the latter was praised by critics. Surprisingly, despite high anticipation and an Eid release, Maidaan, the sports drama that hit screens on April 10, 2024, didn’t meet box office expectations.

Maidaan faced off against Akshay Kumar’s Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, which received negative reviews. Despite Maidaan’s positive reception, it struggled to draw audiences.

After over 40 days in theaters, the sports biographical drama is available for streaming on an OTT platform. But there seems a twest that you must be aware of.
