Darlings Budget & OTT Views ( Hit Or Flop) Box Office Collection
We were getting a lot of queries on what is Darlings s box office collection and budget so we have decided to write this post about the views it got and whether it was a hit or flop. Darlings didn’t release in theaters it was a direct-to-OTT release on Netflix so instead of box office collections we will decide hit or flop based on its views in the opening weekend and where was it on the chart with respect to other releases
DARLINGS OTT VIEWS
Darlings is expected to get 60 to 70 Lakhs views in its opening weekend at Netflix in India we will have the data by Monday. Ideally, Darlings should have more than 49 Lakh views which Good Luck jerry got since it’s in the same genre and has a bigger heroine in Alia Bhatt. We will track and report by Monday the views it got and where it was on the chart in terms of top viewed shows and series.

Darlings will likely end up being on Average grosser with around 60 to 70 Lakh views. Darlings need to reach more than 40 Lakh viewers in its opening weekend in India at Netflix to be called an Average and should cross more than 70 lakh Views to be called a Hit.
