In a matter of seven months, Taapsee Pannu would be having her third Hindi film arrive straight on OTT. In July 2021, she came up with Haseen Dillruba. Then in October 2021 it was time for Rashmi Rocket and now on 4th February, her Looop Lapeta would be arriving. Amongst her two releases so far, Haseen Dillruba set a record for Netflix as it was one of the most watched Bollywood films on their platform. This was also a film for which Taapsee along with writer Kanika Dhillon played on the front-foot when it came to defending it from criticism.
Now that Looop Lapeta is arriving, one waits to see how big does it open on Netflix. It would be relying on word of mouth though as the opening viewership numbers are not expected to be on the same lines as Haseen Dillruba. The Aanand L. Rai production was still more commercial in appeal and had the kind of set up that appealed to a larger audience base. Of course, it was an adult subject too but then nothing like conventional Bollywood audiences hadn’t seen in the past. Moreover, its spicy appeal meant that there were more takers to begin with.
