Cinema, the web, and reality shows have been a part of our daily lives for decades. Taking the Post-pandemic circumstances, after being shut down for two years, cinemas were back to the theaters. In 2022, films like The Kashmir Files, RRR, KGF 2, Gangubai Kathiawadi, and Spider-Man No Way Home grabbed the audience’s attention and brought them back to the theatres.

Popular Bollywood Analyst cum Business Transformation Expert Hirav Shah says,” People nowadays like to binge-watch entertainment content instead of watching it with an interval. For the past two years, the term binge-watch has been used widely as more and more consumers are shifting from Television to OTT and crave series or movies that they can watch in a short period. Last month, movies like Dasvi, Bachchhan Paandey, and Toolsidas Junior entertained many audiences. Moreover, to cater to demands of the same OTT platforms such as Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hotstar, Zee 5, and Jio Cinema, releases new content and movies every month for viewers to jump on and watch.

Hirav Shah picks up the list of the latest blockbusters that grabbed the audience’s attention and are ready for an OTT release.
