Brighten Diwali with entertainment

- The situation in Bollywood may be bad but OTT is in fun. This Diwali many new shows and movies will be available for viewers on OTT. Some have even released as pre-Diwali.

The day has come. Everyone has more time to stay at home. OTT is present. There are many options to look at. If someone wants to watch a movie, a movie and someone wants to watch a web series, everything is available. The question will be to choose. Let's talk about the entertainment options that can make Diwali fun.

By releasing movies and web series on Diwali, OTT platforms benefit the viewers and their bottom line. The benefit of viewers is that they get to enjoy fresh content. The advantage of OTT is that new releases increase their viewership percentage by about fifteen percent. In addition, people are avoiding going to cinemas to watch movies. So there is also a possibility that the Diwali viewership of OTT will rise by more than fifteen percent this year. Diwali is also likely for OTT operators to announce discounts and try to attract new subscribers. No such announcement has been made so far, but it may be necessary. This was recently done by Bengali OTT platform Hoichoi during Durga Puja i.e. Navratri. It will not be surprising if other OTT platforms do something similar. Let's talk about new attractions.

This year has really been a test for Bollywood. Good movies are beaten. Achcha Achcha Superstars have gone underground. Even though 'Brahma' was not a big hit because it was a very expensive film, it failed at the box office. The film is the biggest release for Hindi film audiences this Diwali.

Directed by Karan Johar's Ayan Mukerji, the film stars Amitabh Bachchan and Nagarjuna alongside stars like Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. Apart from this, Shahrukh Khan's special appearance was also discussed.
