“Upset & Uninformed? Were Mrunal Thakur, Siddhant Chaturvedi Left in the Dark Over Do Deewane Seher Mein’s OTT Release?”
Romantic drama Do Deewane Seher Mein, starring Mrunal Thakur and Siddhant Chaturvedi, released in theatres in February 2026 with quiet expectations but a strong emotional core. Directed by Ravi Udyawar and produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the film tells the story of two contrasting individuals—Shashank, a deeply emotional romantic, and Roshni, a practical, logic-driven thinker—whose lives gradually intersect in unexpected ways.
Box Office Performance
Despite its emotional storyline and notable cast, the film failed to make a strong impact at the box office. Industry reports suggest that Do Deewane Seher Mein had a low theatrical run and underwhelming commercial performance, with collections falling short of expectations and settling in a modest range compared to typical mainstream romantic dramas.
While the exact final figures were not widely highlighted, the overall consensus in trade circles was that the film did not achieve the box office success its makers had hoped for.
OTT Release on Netflix
After nearly two months in theatres, the film made its OTT debut on Netflix on April 17, 2026. The announcement came directly from Netflix India’s social media handle with a simple promotional line, but without the extensive marketing campaign usually associated with high-profile releases.
This relatively low-key rollout quickly sparked discussion online, especially since there appeared to be no major pre-release buzz or coordinated promotional activity involving the cast.
“Silent Release” Sparks Speculation
Following its arrival on Netflix, social media users began referring to the release as a “silent drop,” pointing out the lack of prior publicity and limited cast involvement in the OTT announcement phase.
This led to online speculation questioning whether Mrunal Thakur and Siddhant Chaturvedi were upset or unaware of the timing of the film’s digital release.
However, as of now, there is no official statement or confirmed report suggesting any disagreement, dissatisfaction, or conflict between the actors and the streaming platform. The “upset” narrative remains purely speculative.
Cast and Storyline
The film also features a strong supporting ensemble including Ila Arun, Joy Sengupta, Ayesha Raza, Viraj Gehlani, Sandeepa Dhar, Deepraj Rana, Mona Ambegaokar, Achint Kaur, Naveen Kaushik, and Master Inesh Kotian.
At its heart, the film explores whether two people with opposite worldviews—emotion and logic—can truly find harmony in love.
Post-OTT Reception
Interestingly, after its arrival on Netflix, the film has reportedly seen a more positive reception. Viewers have described it as a light, heartfelt romantic drama, with many appreciating its performances and emotional simplicity compared to its theatrical run.
On the professional front, Mrunal Thakur is preparing for Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai alongside Varun Dhawan and Pooja Hegde, set for release in May 2026. Siddhant Chaturvedi will next be seen in Dil Ka Darwaaza Khol Na Darling, alongside Jaya Bachchan and Wamiqa Gabbi.
Conclusion
While Do Deewane Seher Mein struggled at the box office and arrived on OTT with minimal fanfare, the buzz around its “silent release” has kept it in conversation. However, claims of the lead actors being upset remain unverified, with no official confirmation to support the speculation.
