The Lady Killer, released in theatres on November 3, 2023, quickly became a notable box office failure. Starring Arjun Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar in the lead roles, this crime thriller managed to gross a mere INR 38,000 on its opening day, selling only 293 tickets across India. This dismal performance has positioned it as one of the largest box office disasters. Following its disastrous run in theatres, the film’s producers struggled to find any OTT streaming services willing to acquire its rights, with even local platforms turning it down. Ultimately, they opted to release the entire film for free on the T-Series YouTube channel. The Lady Killer: Director Ajay Bahl Confirms Arjun Kapoor-Bhumi Pednekar’s Film Was Released Incomplete, Reveals 30 Pages of Screenplay Were Never Shot.

As of now, the film has garnered over 2.5 million views on the platform, totaling 2,547,356 views just shy of two months post-release. Despite this viewership, the Arjun Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar starrer has failed to garner positive reviews. Viewers have expressed their disappointment in the comments section, sharing harsh critiques and unfavourable opinions about the film.
