Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
last
film,
Dil
Bechara
released
last
weekend
on
July
24.
The
film
skipped
theatrical
release
due
to
the
pandemic
and
was
made
available
on
Disney+
Hotstar.
After
breaking
records
with
the
trailer
release,
it
was
known
that
the
film
will
also
see
high
viewership
with
its
digital
premiere,
due
to
the
actor's
huge
fan
following.
According
to
a
recent
report
by
an
independent
tracking
firm,
the
film
was
watched
by
95
million
people.
Dil
Bechara
was
also
made
available
to
non-subscribers
as
a
tribute
to
the
late
actor,
and
saw
an
immense
viewership
in
its
first
24
hours
after
the
premiere.
A
report
in
Mid-Day
shared
that
the
numbers
are
comparable
to
the
hit
HBO
series
Game
of
Thrones.
A
representative
from
the
firm,
Ormax
Media
told
the
portal,
"If
one
wants
to,
comparisons
could
be
drawn
(between
the
viewership)
of
Dil
Bechara,
and
that
of
(the
much-acclaimed
series)
Game
of
Thrones,
and
this
was
possible
even
though
the
latter
had
a
pre-existing
viewer-base,
while
the
film
(did
not).
Then
again,
Hotstar
promoted
Dil
Bechara
from
the
onset,
marketing
its
release
date
and
time
well
in
advance.
Viewers
showed
up
in
unison
to
watch
it."

crore
with

Trade
analyst
Taran
Adarsh
also
told
Mid-Day
that
the
film
would've
done
well
in
theatres.
He
said,
"I
would
have
preferred
watching
it
on
the
big
screen.
It
is
beautiful,
especially
it's
ending.
A
good
film
will
always
find
appreciation;
(as
it
did
with)
films
like
Anand
(1971),
and
Ankhiyon
Ke
Jharokhon
Se
(1978),
which
also
had
similar
emotional
content."
