Aditya Sarpotdar's horror-comedy film, Kakuda, has been released on Zee5, starring Riteish Deshmukh, Sonakshi Sinha, and Saqib Saleem. Despite its promising concept, the movie lacks depth and humor, failing to engage viewers. Unlike Munjya, Sarpotdar's previous success which earned over Rs 100 crore, Kakuda's weak script and unoriginal storyline make it a disappointment. The film's visual effects and music efforts are overshadowed by its overall lackluster performance. In summary, Aditya Sarpotdar has seen one blockbuster in theaters with Munjya, but Kakuda is a disappointment on the OTT platform, failing to replicate his previous success.
