The rapid transition of 'Chand Mera Dil' from theaters to OTT platforms reflects the current Bollywood distribution model, where a short theatrical window is used to build prestige before maximizing reach through digital streaming. The release of a 'film version' music video typically serves as a promotional tool to maintain audience engagement and drive subscriptions for the streaming platform during the premiere month.
