Due to its box office failure, the makers are now struggling to find buyers on OTT and satellite rights. Usually, these rights are sold before the release. But the makers didn’t sell the rights before the release in the hope of a better deal. But now, the makers are being forced to sell Dhaakad digital rights at a scrap value for less than Rs 5 crore. According to Bollywood Hungama, the producers have suffered a minimum loss of Rs 78 crore. The total revenue of the film has been less than 10 percent of its promotional costs.

“2019 I have Manikarnika 160 crore ka supehit film. 2020 was Covid year, 2021 I have the biggest film of my career, Thalaivii, which came on OTT and was huge success. I see lots of curated negativity but 2022 is the year of blockbuster Lock Upp and it’s not over yet. I have great hopes with it, “Kangana wrote while sharing a few screenshots of headlines that hailed her as ‘the box office queen of India.’

Dhaakad was released in 2100 screens across the country. The cinema halls were left empty, which forced theater owners to replace Dhaakad with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. Dhaakad is Kangana’s 9th flop in a row. Her last Bollywood hit was Tanu Weds Manu Returns in 2015.
