With current figures, the film still needs support from its OTT and satellite rights to recover costs and turn profitable.

📺 OTT Release Update

Although not officially confirmed, trade sources suggest that ZEE5 or Netflix may acquire digital rights for a December 2025 OTT release. This could help the movie reach a wider audience post its theatrical run.

🔍 Final Verdict

The Taj Story is a content-driven courtroom drama that relies on emotions and strong performances rather than big-budget spectacle. At ₹11.99 Cr India Net, it has performed decently for its scale, and the OTT release will play a major role in defining its final verdict.
