The Kollywood film Blast, starring Arjun, Abhirami, and Preity Mukhundhan in lead roles, was released in theatres on May 28. Directed by debutant Subash K Raj, the film received positive responses from audiences and critics, generating strong word-of-mouth after its release.
Backed by encouraging reviews, Blast performed impressively at the box office. The film reportedly collected more than Rs. 65 crores worldwide during its theatrical run. Its unexpected success has made it one of the notable performers among recent releases.
According to reports, Blast emerged as a major success in Kerala, with collections said to be nearly on par with Suriya’s blockbuster Karuppu. The film also reportedly outperformed Dhanush’s recently released Kara in several centres and surpassed its worldwide collections within just three weeks in theatres.
Following its successful theatrical run, Blast is now preparing for its OTT debut. The film is set to stream on Netflix from June 25 with a four-week theatrical window. It will be available in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi.
The OTT release announcement has generated excitement among social media users. Many believe that Blast could perform even better on the digital platform. Some viewers also feel that the film has the potential to gain wider recognition across multiple markets.
Supporters of the film point out that action-oriented commercial entertainers often attract strong viewership on OTT platforms. Since Blast earned praise for its action sequences during its theatrical release, many expect it to enjoy similar success on Netflix.
At the same time, viewers who missed the film in theatres are eagerly waiting for its digital premiere. It remains to be seen whether Blast can meet the expectations of OTT audiences. The film’s performance on Netflix after its June 25 release will determine whether it can extend its success beyond the box office.
