Amazon is playing a dual-platform game in India’s competitive streaming landscape, with Prime Video targeting subscription-ready consumers while its ad-supported Amazon Mx Player courts viewers transitioning from traditional TV.

Speaking at the Apos conference in Indonesia, Amazon executives outlined their strategy for serving India’s diverse streaming audience through two distinct services. Gaurav Gandhi, VP of Asia Pacific and Mena for Prime Video, explained the rationale behind the approach.

“India is a really heterogeneous and diverse country with customers having very different needs,” Gandhi said during the panel discussion moderated by Vivek Couto of Media Partners Asia, which organizes Apos. “Prime Video caters to customers who are subscription-ready, who have actually transitioned to streaming as their first choice or the only choice of entertainment. While Amazon Mx Player is aimed at customers who are now transitioning from traditional media — TV or are still on it, but are not subscription-ready yet,...

Prime Video Offers Major Glimpse Into The Indian Edition Of The Traitors(Photo Credit –Prime Video)

Prime Video is seemingly dropping major hints to set the stage for the Indian version of The Traitors. In a move to tease an introduction to the show, the Ott giant has put up billboards featuring iconic lines from its original shows, such as Mirzapur, Farzi, Paatal Lok, Panchayat, Call Me Bae, Bandish Bandits, and The Boys.

However, upon close observation, fans would notice that the quotes aren’t quite the same. The familiar fan-favorite lines have been tweaked with unexpected twists, setting off a wave of intrigue and speculation. The quotes also come with a poster of The Traitors and the franchise’s official logo.

It is clear that the billboards and quotes aren’t just part of a nostalgic throwback campaign. Instead, they’re a clue,...

The eagerly anticipated fourth season of Prime Video’s “Panchayat” has been set as the popular Indian comedy-drama celebrates its fifth anniversary since its 2020 debut.

Created by The Viral Fever (Tvf), the series has built a devoted following over its first three acclaimed seasons, with its signature blend of rural charm, relatable characters, and heartfelt storytelling. The upcoming installment promises to continue the slice-of-life adventures in the fictional village of Phulera.

“Panchayat” follows Abhishek, an engineering graduate who accepts a job as secretary at a village panchayat (council) office in rural Uttar Pradesh, northern India, due to limited career opportunities. Season 4 will see the character and Phulera’s colorful residents tackling new challenges with the show’s trademark humor and poignancy.

Deepak Kumar Mishra returns to direct the series from scripts by Chandan Kumar. The full ensemble cast is confirmed to be back, including Jitendra Kumar as Abhishek, the reluctant panchayat secretary,...

“Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Wear it like an armor, and it can never be used to hurt you.” This profound line by Tyrion Lannister appears to have become the mantra for all Bollywood Nepo-babies. When Khushi Kapoor’s Pia brands herself as the ‘poster princess of privilege and entitlement,’ it is in line with the same confessional spirit that Ananya Pandey and Sarah Ali Khan channeled in “Call Me Bae” and “Murder Mubarak,” respectively. But absolution cannot come if you do it half-heartedly. To follow Tyrion’s advice, you would need to embrace all of your fallacies. Privileged and entitled? Sure. But there is one other fallacy that seems to have escaped them. The fact that in ‘Nadaaniyan’ (2025), they cannot act to save their lives.

Pia Jaisingh(Khushi Kapoor) is, quite self-admittedly, a thoroughly spoiled brat. Her family is shown to be affluent.

With the global hit reality format “The Traitors” set for an Indian adaptation hosted by Karan Johar and the highly anticipated third season of “The Family Man” in the works, Prime Video India is doubling down on both international formats and homegrown hit franchises.

In an exclusive interview with Variety, Nikhil Madhok, head of Indian originals at Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios, revealed the streamer’s ambitious content strategy that balances returning franchises with fresh originals while expanding into theatrical releases for select productions.

“We’re most excited about the third season of ‘The Family Man,’ which just finished shooting. We expect to launch it sometime in the second half of the year,” Madhok said. “It’s been a flagship show for Prime Video, and people have been asking us for the last couple of years. It’s taken us a little longer than originally envisaged to get this new season going.

It is not a hidden fact that social media sensation Orry’s popularity knows no bounds. He has also made cameo appearances in some popular Ott series, which also includes Ananya Panday’s Call Me Bae. He played himself on the show and was shown to be impressed with Bae’s stronghold on social media. However, in a podcast last year, he revealed that despite sharing a close bond with him, Ananya was not too pleased with his presence on the show.

Yes, you heard that right! In an episode of Aleena Dissects, Orry recalled Ananya Panday being ‘mean and jealous’ because of him being a part of Call Me Bae. He furthermore said that they had a bad fallout because of the same but managed to patch up later. He said, “It was during...

The content studio aims to provide a diversified genre of entertainment to cater to the ever-changing demands of the audience. With its vision and the latest releases, Dharmatic Entertainment has hit the right notes.

Dharmatic Entertainment has struck a positive chord with its latest releases in the different Ott platforms. The Karan Johar-led content studio has drawn a fine balance between entertainment with a message. This has certainly left us wanting for more.

The thriller series Gyaarah Gyaarah, released by Karan Johar‘s Dharmatic Entertainment on ZEE5, starred Raghav Juyal, Kritika Kamra, Dhairya Karwa, and Gautami Kapoor in the lead roles. The show has managed to captivate the audience with its riveting subject and honest performances.

Karan Johar’s Indian production powerhouse Dharma Productions has major new investment.

The Koffee With Karan maker is selling 50% to its shares to Serene Productions, which is led by pharmaceutical tycoon Adar Poonawalla, for 1,000 crore ($120M). The binding agreement values Dharma, which comprises Dharma Productions and Dharmatic Entertainment, at around $240M.

Local reports suggest Johar had also met with the likes of Reliance Industries, Saregama and the Adani Group about offloading shares before sealing the Serene Productions agreement. The company’s revenues for 2022/23 financial year were about $124M.

I’ve watched my fair share of cyberhorror films and, for the most part, enjoyed them for their newness and zeal. Vikramaditya Motwane’s Ctrl is certainly an ambitious film. There’s no denying that it’s got something that urges you as a viewer to keep watching. Ctrl tells the story of Nella Awasthi and her boyfriend Joe, who’ve become famous thanks to their relationship being a tool for their income. The perfect life of this seemingly impeccable couple is shattered when Nella tries to surprise Joe for their 5th anniversary and instead finds him kissing another girl. Nella immediately shuts Joe out. However, wild things start happening when Nella installs a new app to erase his memory from her life forever.

Sharing more about his role and preparation, Aarya says, “I really enjoyed it; it was a lot of fun shooting with the co-actors. Let me confess—I am scared of watching horror content. I can’t even watch horror movies on TV or in cinemas, nor can I listen to horror stories. So, as an actor, it was a challenge to be part of this project and convey emotions I couldn’t bear to watch. I took it as a challenge to make the audience believe.

Regarding her self-acclaimed titles and achievements, it’s not uncommon for public figures to emphasize their milestones, whether they’re viewed as boastful or just part of their personal narrative. For Urvashi, these titles and claims could be a way to celebrate her journey and stand out in a competitive industry. Whether or not one views these claims with skepticism, her efforts to highlight Indian fashion and cultural elements, like the Potloi dress, can be seen as a positive contribution to raising awareness and appreciation for traditional attire.

With its deep emotion and unplugged beauty, the track hooked everyone, and the visuals now bring to life the raw emotions that fans eagerly awaited!

Composed and sung by the talented trio of Ruuh, Joh, and Lisa Mishra, with poetic lyrics crafted by Ruuh and Smriti Bhoker, “Yaara Tere Bin” is an acoustic ballad that captures the intense void left by a lost love.

Farah Khan, known for her vibrant personality and sharp wit, alongside her cook Dilip, gave Ananya a whirlwind lesson in her famous Chicken Fried Rice recipe. The session was anything but ordinary, as Ananya and Farah’s cook Dilip first showcased their dance skills to “Vekh Sohneyaa,” followed by a full-blown dance party featuring the entire group.

Kartik Aaryan’s visit to Lalbaugcha Raja for Ganesh Chaturthi 2024 is a wonderful example of how the festival brings together celebrities and their families with traditional and devotional fervor. Lalbaugcha Raja, known for its grand celebrations and revered idol of Lord Ganesha, is a significant pilgrimage spot during the festival, and Kartik’s appearance there with his family highlights the importance of the occasion for many.

The fact that Kartik Aaryan chose to visit the same renowned pandal this year as he did last year shows his continued devotion and respect for the festival. Such visits not only resonate with his fans but also contribute to the festive spirit, as celebrities often bring extra attention and enthusiasm to the celebrations.

The trending social media photo from his visit will likely be widely shared and appreciated by his followers, reinforcing the connection between the actor’s public persona and his personal devotion during Ganesh Chaturthi.

If Ayesha and Wake-Up Sid had a Gen-z daughter, it would be Call Me Bae. The eight-episode TV series starring Bollywood “nepo” baby Ananya Pandey is like a breath of fresh air amongst the multiple international shows that have been failing to deliver their “woke gen-z romantic comedy” for seasons on end. The first comparison you’re going to see is Emily in Paris, and to that, I’ll tell you, Bae’s definitely more worth your time than Emily. Sure, this is a fish-out-of-water story too, but it’s also a late-bloomer-coming-of-age story with impeccable character development. A guilty pleasure that lands all its self-aware jokes without a stutter. If Rocky Randhawa had another younger sister, she’d be Bella Choudhary, because, dang, are they just two sides of the same coin?

Call Me Bae tells the story of Bella “Bae” Choudhary, a girl born with a golden spoon...

I know you were all thinking this was going to be the Indian version of Emily in Paris, but I’m so glad you’ve been proven wrong because Call Me Bae seems to be so much more. I’m sure a lot of you were surprised at how fun this show is and the fact that it has an actually decent story rather than an Indian adaptation of something that already exists. I’m not trying to say this show is original, but it’s certainly authentic, and what makes it work is how it’s happy to poke fun at itself. From crowned princess to certified pauper, Bella Chowdhary gets kicked out by her husband 3 years into a lonely marriage because she cheated on him with her gym instructor. How perfectly South Delhi of her no? Well, Bella, who likes to be called Bae, quickly learns that her...

Collin D’Cunha surely has what it takes. Call Me Bae, which is streaming on Amazon Prime from September 6, is no ordinary happening. It is monstrously entertaining and insanely binge-worthy. What’s more, it doesn’t make any concerted effort to seduce us into its storytelling.

It doesn’t need to. It breaks all the rudimentary rules of the streaming business with content that is unapologetically formulistic and emphatically entertaining. The series is at once a jolt to the norm and a visit to La La Land.

Every character is real yet fairytale-like. Good looks are prerequisite. But no one here is an airhead. The protagonist discusses Naipaul with as much authority as Gucci. The idea is to tease audiences with a high dose of the don’t-we-know-this-character aphrodisiac.

Vir Das is especially a scream as a self-obsessed news journalist who shouts his way into nightly attention through the TRPs. The rest of the cast too,...

Prime Video’s Call Me Bae not only marks the series debut of Ananya Panday, but also the first time that she plays a comedic role.

The Hindi-language series follows Bae (played by Panday), a heiress whose luxurious life quickly becomes upended. She then goes on a journey in Mumbai to carve out a new life for herself, finding work as a journalist.

Panday knew she wanted to be part of Call Me Bae from the get-go. “When I got the script, I read all eight episodes in one night,” Panday told Deadline. “I completely binged on the script and knew that I had to be a part of this because I love the journey with the character. She starts from a certain point and then ends up in a completely different place, but the core of her stays the same. It’s very easy to put a character like...

Ananya Panday couldn’t put down the script for “Call Me Bae” — literally. “I finished reading all eight episodes in one night because I couldn’t stop,” the Bollywood star told Variety about her new Prime Video series.

Written by Ishita Moitra, Samina Motlekar and Rohit Nair, “Call Me Bae” tells the story of Bae, a young woman who is downsized from heiress to hustler after a scandal. She learns that her most valuable assets are not her diamonds, but her street smarts and her style. Broke, but refusing to be broken, she navigates the newsrooms of Mumbai, finding beaus, sisterhood and her better self. Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta and Somen Mishra, as executive producers for their Dharmatic Entertainment, give a glitzy pedigree to the Hindi-language series.

Directed by Collin D’Cunha, the script struck a chord with Panday from the start. “For me as an actor, the biggest telling sign...

Ananya Panday’s upcoming series Call Me Bae certainly turned into a star-studded affair in Mumbai! The event was a major highlight, drawing attention not just for the series but also for the presence of several Bollywood celebrities.

Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan’s reunion was a focal point, but the appearance of Agastya Nanda and Suhana Khan also caught significant attention. The rumored couple was seen together amidst a bustling crowd, with Agastya’s protective gesture toward Suhana adding a layer of charm to their outing. The video capturing their interaction, with Agastya keeping a supportive hand on Suhana’s back, has been widely shared, fueling speculation about their relationship.
