  • Vidya Balan-starrer Shakuntala Devi is all set to release on Amazon's streaming arm Prime Video.

    Film industry remains divided over digital releases
  • The announcement comes just a day after Gulabo Sitabo's digital release triggered a major controversy, and started a war of words between the entertainment industry's production sector and its exhibitors.

    However, the trend of direct-to-digital releases is likely to continue.

    Major movies such as Akshay Kumar's Laxmmi Bomb, Anurag Basu's Ludo, and Amitabh Bachchan-starrer Jhund are also expected to take the digital route.
