The Malayalam film Bethlehem Kudumba Unit starring Nivin Pauly and Mamitha Baiju in the lead roles and directed by Girish AD, was released in theatres on August 21st and has received an overwhelmingly positive response from audiences and critics.
Even though Bethlehem Kudumba Unit started its theatrical run with an average opening, with the super positive word of mouth from audiences, it went on a rampage at the box office and has collected more than 300 crores worldwide.
Bethlehem Kudumba Unit has emerged as the industry hit of Malayalam cinema, surpassing Lokah and still has a strong hold in theatres.
Following this massive success, many other language audiences and viewers who missed watching it in theatres are eagerly awaiting the OTT release of Bethlehem Kudumba Unit; however, as of now, there is no clarity regarding its OTT release date.
While the streaming rights of Bethlehem Kudumba Unit were acquired by JioHotstar and the film was initially supposed to stream as usual with a four-week OTT window, its digital release was postponed due to its terrific theatrical run and solid hold.
In this scenario, now there is strong speculation that the Bethlehem Kudumba Unit will start streaming on the JioHotstar OTT platform on October 2nd, with an official announcement expected soon.
In response to this speculation, many Bethlehem Kudumba Unit fans have commented that it will perform well on OTT as well, believing it will achieve a massive pan-Indian reach after its digital release.
Ultimately, there are still no official updates on the OTT release date of the Bethlehem Kudumba Unit and it remains to be seen whether it will start streaming on JioHotstar from October 2nd and emerge as a blockbuster success on OTT as well upon its release.
