Directed by Karuna Kumar, the period crime drama has failed to make a significant impact at the box office. Despite Varun’s brilliant performance, the period crime fell short of expectations. According to several reports, Matka’s streaming rights have been sold to the popular OTT platform Amazon Prime Video for a whopping ₹15 crore. But, the drawback in here is, budget of around ₹45 crore, recovering the amount through theatrical revenue seems highly unlikely. How the movie fares at the box office is a major concern now.
