Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton on Disney+ Hotstar screams for a theatrical release. A film adaptation of the iconic Broadway show created by Miranda in 2008, Hamilton merits a big-screen release for reasons more than witnessing its sorcerous splendour in cinemas.
Lin-Manuel Miranda’s award-winning musical Hamilton, which debuted on Broadway in 2015, revolves around the life of founding father Alexander Hamilton.

Hamilton had originally been scheduled for a theatrical release in October 2021. Then the coronavirus pandemic struck, and the show’s debut was advanced and made available on streaming.
