Salman Khan’s Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai was released on Zee Plex (within Zee5) earlier today, alongside its theatrical release. According to a spokesperson from the streamer, the response to the film was so huge that their servers temporarily crashed. The film has raked in record ‘First Day First Show’ numbers for the service, the spokesperson revealed.

“The team had anticipated a surge in traffic, going much beyond conservative estimates, but nothing compared to the extent that we witnessed this afternoon,” the spokesperson said. “In fact, so intense has been the outpouring of love that the platform witnessed unprecedented traffic from fans across the country bringing down the servers temporarily.”

Directed by Prabhudheva, Radhe is a remake of the 2017 South Korean drama The Outlaws. Besides Salman, it also stars Disha Patani, Randeep Hooda and Jackie Shroff.
