Akshay Kumar's Laxxmii gets the biggest opening on Disney+Hotstar, goes past Sushant's Dil Bechara

Akshay Kumar and Kiara Advani starrer Laxmii has become the biggest movie opening ever for Disney+Hotstar. Earlier, the record was held by Sushant Singh Rajput's posthumous feature film Dil Bechara, which released on July 24, earlier this year.irected by Raghava Lawrence, the film is a remake of his Tamil movie Kanchana and also features Ayesha Raza Mishra, Sharad Kelkar, Tarun Arora, Ashwini Kalsekar, Manu Rishi Chadha, Rajesh Sharma and others.

The development was confirmed by Disney Plus Hotstar on their official Instagram account which mentioned, the movie “broke all previous records set by any other Bollywood blockbuster within hours of its release.” Previously, Disney+ Hotstar had made a similar announcement after the release of Dil Bechara. “A film that will always be etched in the hearts of all Bollywood fans. Your love has made Dil Bechara the biggest movie opening. Ever,” it had said.

An excited Akshay thanked fans and said in a press statement, “I am overwhelmed and overjoyed by the response that Laxmii received. It’s heartening to know that audiences and fans from across the country logged on to Disney+ Hotstar VIP to watch the movie within hours of its release. Who doesn’t love beating records – whether it’s at the box-office or opening night on streaming platforms. Nothing is comparable to this feeling of euphoria.”
