Amrutha Varshini Daily Serial – E229 – 4th Sep

Dev Patel’s highly anticipated directorial debut, “Monkey Man,” has become a victim of streaming limbo in India. Despite garnering international release, the film remains unavailable on any legal platforms within the country, frustrating fans and leading to its leak on piracy websites.

Social media has been abuzz with users discussing the film’s unavailability. Many have resorted to pirated versions, expressing their disappointment through memes and comments.

The film, which follows a vigilante seeking revenge, boasts an impressive cast including Patel, Sharlto Copley, and Sikandar Kher.

A glimmer of hope emerged with reports suggesting an Indian theatrical release on April 19th. However, clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) presented a new challenge. Concerns regarding violence and potentially offensive content could delay the approval process, especially with the need for studio approvals across continents.

As of today, “Monkey Man” remains unreleased in India, leaving fans in the dark and pushing some towards piracy. Hopefully, a resolution can be reached soon, allowing audiences to enjoy the film through legitimate channels.
