Following the terrible failure of Retro, director Karthik Subbaraj made a comeback with his indie film Dorothy, starring Sananth and Rishikanth in the lead roles, which was released in theatres on September 25th.
Many viewers, after watching Dorothy claimed that Karthik Subbaraj has made a bold attempt and suggested that Dorothy is one of the finest films of this year in Kollywood. Furthermore, they highly appreciated the acting performances of the lead actors, Rishikanth and Sananth.
While the majority of viewers have accepted Dorothy, some people who oppose the LGBTQ community feel that films like Dorothy are a major threat to society and have slammed Karthik Subbaraj for Dorothy.
However, Dorothy has completed its theatrical run with an average status in terms of collections and is now all set to stream on the Netflix OTT platform starting October 23rd in five languages, such as Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi.
In response to the OTT release update of Dorothy, many netizens feel that Dorothy is going to create a massive debate after its OTT release, as they note that many people who boycotted Dorothy for its LGBTQ content during its theatrical release might also watch the film after its digital premiere and severely thrash Karthik Subbaraj.
Ultimately, because Dorothy will have a wider reach after its OTT release, it is going to be interesting to see how OTT audiences receive Dorothy and it remains to be seen whether it emerges as a successful venture on the platform upon its release on October 23rd.
