Why ‘Udaipur Files’ Flopped: Top 3 Reasons

  1. Pre-release Controversy:
    The film faced major protests from the victim’s family and community organizations. Due to court cases and censor board hurdles, the release was repeatedly postponed, impacting audience interest.
  2. No Promotion or Marketing:
    The makers did not run any big publicity campaigns. Most people were not even aware about the movie in time for release.
  3. Heavy Competition:
    “Udaipur Files” released alongside blockbusters like “Saiyaara”, “Dhadak 2”, “Mahavatar Narasimha” and “Son of Sardar 2”. Bigger, star-powered films overshadowed it in theatres, making it tough to draw audiences.

Several critics highlighted questionable filmmaking intent and sensationalism in tackling a sensitive, real-life crime. Viewers on social media praised the courage to make it, but it failed to connect with the masses.

Verdict & OTT Release

  • Box Office Verdict: Yet to be updated.
  • OTT Update: Due to weak theatrical performance, “Udaipur Files” is expected to premiere on digital streaming platforms soon.
