It is a mixed bag of sorts indeed where on one hand we continue to get encouraging signals of films planning for a theatrical release and taking the rise with occupancy in theatres gradually increasing. The recent release of Master has been an example of that. But on the other hand, we also witness how some mega films that are either in plans to be shot or are ready - are still selling their rights to streaming services for a digital release.

After mega films like Coolie No. 1 and Laxmii finding their release on streamers last year, another report has come in for another huge film.

Mumbai Saga, that is directed by Sanjay Gupta and stars John Abraham and Emraan Hashmi who lead an ensemble cast is also all set to take the digital route. Reports suggest that the film's rights are being sold to Amazon Prime Video and will stream on the service soon. It is also said that this decidion was taken by producer Bhushan Kumar and director Sanjay Gupta after contemplating on the release model of the film for over three months.

A source was quoted by Pinkvilla saying, “The film has been sold to Amazon Prime for a hefty sum of Rs 65 crore. With the sale of digital and satellite rights, padded up with the retention of music rights, the production house T-Series have recovered their investment and entailed table profit. The trailer is cut and ready, and an official announcement is underway soon.”

Interestingly, apart from Mumbai Saga, there are three more films that might arrive on streamers. While the makers of Kartik Aaryan starrer Dhamaka are in advanced talks for a digital premiere, Sanya Malhotra starrer Pagglait is also being planned for a digital release. Further, the much-talked-about Saina Nehwal biopic is also among the films that will release on a streaming service.
