  • Changes

    When movie halls were closed, OTT platforms came to rescue

  • When the coronavirus pandemic struck last year and movie halls shut down, OTT platforms provided the much-needed respite to cine buffs.

    From the comfort and safety of their homes, viewers hogged on a plethora of web series, movies, and short movies.

    The exposure to OTT platforms also helped viewers notice some brilliant actors, who would have otherwise been lost in the glitzy world of Bollywood.
