During and till recent times, not many Bollywood studios and producers had the courage to release their films or many who lost patience decided against waiting for the theatres to open up and released their films on the OTT platforms. The film that waited out the pandemic and released around Diwali was Jagame Thandhiram, which starred Dhanush and can be considered as the No. 1 movie in India in 2021. The film was dubbed and released in 17 languages across 190 countries.
