Arun Vijay‘s Mission Chapter 1 hit theaters on January 12, 2024, and received some positive reviews from the audience. The film currently stands a rating of 9.1/10 on IMDb. However, despite having a good rating, Arun Vijay’s movie failed to reach a wider audience. But the latest reports suggest that the film is on its way to making a debut on an OTT platform.
The film initiated its box office run with the opening of $18K in its first day. However, the first week’s total collection of its theatrical run ended up with only $246K. So far, the film has only collected an amount of $409K till its day 10. The potential reason behind this might be the tough competition at the box office, especially against Teja Sajja’s HanuMan and Mahesh Babu’s Guntur Kaaram.
The story of Mission Chapter 1 revolves around a father who is in prison but wants to escape to see his daughter’s treatment, resulting in him going to the UK to rescue his daughter’s life. The movie then shows all the hindrances and obstacles he faces to save his daughter’s life.
When is Arun Vijay’s Mission Chapter 1 expected for its OTT release?
Due to the positive reception, some audiences have been anticipating Mission Chapter 1’s OTT release date. Amid this, recent reports suggest that Arun Vijay’s film is expected to make its digital debut in late February or early March this year. However, the movie has yet to lock its digital rights with any of the streaming platforms.
Besides having an unsatisfactory box office run, the film might get a chance to shine after its digital debut. Usually, the audience gets attracted to a star-studded cast, which the cast of Mission Chapter 1 seemingly lacks. However, the OTT release will allow the audience to watch the film without incurring high costs. This increases the likelihood of Mission Chapter 1 to perform better after its OTT release.
