Mari Selvaraj’s Bison, starring Dhruv Vikram and Anupama Parameswaran, released in theatres on October 17 as a Diwali special and earned strong reviews from both viewers and critics. The film opened on an average note but grew steadily through positive word of mouth and reportedly collected around 70 crore worldwide.
After its successful theatrical run, Bison has now begun streaming on Netflix in five languages, including Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi. The big question now is whether the streaming audience will welcome the film the same way theatre crowds did.
This doubt comes from the experience of Vaazhai, which received high praise in theatres but was called overrated by many once it reached OTT platforms. Whenever Mari Selvaraj releases a film, a section of viewers is always ready to target it with harsh comments.
Those who celebrated Bison during its theatrical run are now wondering if the same pattern will repeat. The coming days will show how the film performs on streaming and whether it continues its winning streak.
