The Covid Pandemic has disrupted the Indian Entertainment Industry in a big way. With the theatres being closed most of the time since March 2020 and restrictions in place for many activities, there has been a long pause to the “mega releases” which were synonymous with Indian movies. Even famous reality shows or mega sporting events are suspended. The big banner movies have either delayed the release or gone the OTT way.
However, all is not lost. The recent success of OTT releases which saw millions of views within a few hours have proved that OTT is no longer a poorer sibling to the Theatres when it comes to releasing blockbusters.
