“If one wants to, comparisons could be drawn of Dil Bechara, and that of Game of Thrones, and this was possible even though the latter had a pre-existing viewer-base, while the film . Then again, Hotstar promoted Dil Bechara from the onset, marketing its release date and time well in advance. Viewers showed up in unison to watch it,” he said.

‘Dil Bechara’ is the final film of actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s career. The actor died by suicide on June 14, before it had been announced that the film would release only on Hotstar, and not in theatres. His fans protested, but turned up on the streaming platform nonetheless. The film was made available for free to both subscribers and non-subscribers.
