Anurag Kashyap Sends Nishaanchi Part 2 Straight to Prime Video After Box-Office Letdown

Kashyap says he proposed moving the sequel to streaming due to low theatrical turnout.

Overview

  • Both Nishaanchi Part 1 and Part 2 began streaming on Amazon Prime Video on November 14.
  • Kashyap says the OTT premiere for Part 2 was his suggestion and a collective decision with producer Amazon MGM.
  • Part 1 underperformed in cinemas, with reports placing its total near Rs 1 crore after a Rs 25 lakh opening day.
  • He says audience feedback that the first film felt incomplete led to releasing both parts together for a full viewing.
  • Kashyap cites an eight-week theatre-to-streaming window and exhibitor practices as limiting promotion and show runs for non–tent‑pole films.
