Dil Bechara which was originally started as a film for the big screen but is now an OTT release had a trailer release yesterday and it became a joke as it was hit by bots. Bots is basically a automated program of some sort which can interact and alter certain results.

In the case of Dil Bechara the trailer after a few hours was showing 480k odd views but 1.3 million likes which meant the bots had hit the likes as they were 3 times the views which is impossible in reality. This may be done for a lot of films but here they they have not been clever and seemed to used the program too early instead of letting the views grow.


The thing is that even with this sort of thing the public is no fool and a bad trailer is a bad trailer. There is the scenario of the sad death of Sushant Singh Rajput around the film so there will be some sympathy and some people will actually call a bad trailer good but it will hardly matter in the final count.

The sympathything is one side and paying from the pocket and giving time to a bad film is on the other side. Here as there is no theatrical release paying from the pocket is not there and it becomes about giving time to watch it on digital but bad content fails on that level too as there are not enough people out there to waste time who have the platform where the film will become available.

Dil Bechara may have had an OTT release even if it was not for Covid 19 as the film has cost around 38 crore and the makers did not really want to take the investment to 50 with PA for a theatrical release so were contemplating an OTT release before Covid 19. Now the film will go to Star on television and Disney Hotstar on digital which are sister companies of the production house Fox Star and they will put some value on the digital and television rights to reach recovery point but recovery in real will be very unlikely.

Dil Bechara has 4.45 lakhs comments , which is double of what What Zero movie had. The record of 4.54 lakhs of Avengers would be broken today.


No bots can write comments, but BOI wont understand it. Also they don't understand that views take time to update


Google has the smartest engineers in the world, They know how to account for such bots .


I have blocked their site on my laptop. Avoid their site and don't give them any views. They are already screwed as they wont get any advertising revenue till theatres open.

These idiots don’t know how Youtube views work.

A simple google would have helped . But then again it’s BOI. It’s a toss between KRK, that kadel guy and these idiots for being the absolute worse.

Well it's normal that views gets stuck if there is heavy traffic on YouTube. Nothing to do with the likes

These idiots never learn. Even after his death, they don't want to acknowledge his or his movie achievements. For christ sake, the guy is dead and you still have to go ahead and belittle whatever his movie is achieving. YouTube works that way especially when there's heavy traffic for a video.

Youtube pauses views that suddenly spike up- it happens for all music videos also. Its such a common thing that its shocking BOI didn’t know this.
