Devara Part 1 OTT release likely to disappoint Bollywood fans; here’s why
The Telugu film Devara Part 1, starring Jr NTR and others, will be available on Netflix in multiple languages on November 8, but Hindi-speaking fans will have to wait for an unspecified release date.
Devara Part 1 OTT release: As the Telugu blockbuster starring Jr NTR, Janhvi Kapoor, and Saif Ali Khan is all set for its OTT release on Netflix, Bollywood fans are likely to be disappointed as they'll have to wait a little longer for the film's release in Hindi.
In its official announcement of Devara Part 1's OTT release, Netflix shared that the film would be released in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada on November 8.
However, the date for the release of the film's Hindi version has not been announced yet.
In a post on Instagram, Netflix wrote: “It’s time… It’s time for fear to step in, for the sea to turn red and for the hills to hail the Tiger. Watch Devara on Netflix, on 8 November in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada. Coming soon in Hindi.”

Disappointed, the Hindi-speaking fans requested Netflix to release Devara: Part 1's Hindi version soon.
“Hindi se kya dushmani hai yaar (What is your problem with Hindi),” a user commented.
“Netflix India Hindi version please,” requested a user.
“Hindi me bhi release kro otherwise mai netflix plan cancel kar dunga ok? (Release it in Hindi too, otherwise I'll cancel my Netflix plan, ok?)” a user challenged.
“You do this every time, you should release it together. I am angry. You make a fool of everyone every time,” another user said.
However, some users suggested that the rights for the Hindi version of the film have been sold to a different streaming platform.
“Hindi writes hotstar ne liye ha,” a user said, while another added, “Hindi prime video pe ayega.”
These days, it's a common trend to release different language versions on more than one OTT platform. And therefore, this cannot be ruled out.
