Online Digital content and its foray into Indian Entertainment Industry
Indian entertainment industry
specifically Hindi channels are flooded with soaps, dance shows,singing shows
etc etc.All the shows have actually saturated and made TV viewing boring.There
are no shows like Game of thrones,Baywatch etc.Instead all the Indian shows are
fully emotional,melodramatic and zero in content.There are very less shows
present in Indian TV which which rise up
to the standard of International reckoning.There is same old concept where aspiring
singers dancers etc will be in stage and judges would be judging the shows passing on
the judgement.All shows are now a days so boring and repetitive that on
weekends you tune into different channels and all will be telecasting singing
or dance reality shows.We have different seasons of reality shows coming into
the picture.Talking about weekdays oh my god all channels would be telecasting
saas-bahu serials with emotional atyachar and camera would be zooming in and
out with some really irritating background music.Indian audience patience is
tested with these shows as soaps run for years and decades with rebirths,deaths & new
generations etc etc.
The youth is fed up and started
looking out for different options and choices where they could find different
content which is totally new and untouched.Indian shows requires a new pinch of
innovation ,rawness,newness which is highly engrossing and enticing.The answer
to the same is Online Digital content.Options like Amazon prime video,Hotstar,Voot,Alt
Balaji,Viu and Netflix have entered into the Indian entertainment industry and
are giving tough competition to all the TV channels
1.Amazon prime video:-Amazon prime video I would say first in India
start the concept of viewing content online.It has some really new intriguing
shows for Indian audiences such as Inside Edge, R.madhavan’s Breathe.These
series are highly popular and has got a positive response from Indian audiences.Leaving
the seasons Amazon prime gives access to the all Holywood seasons and shows and
also latest Hollywood and bollywood movies
2.Hotstar:-The Online platform of Star TV where all the reality
shows,movies,sports are offered.Live streaming of IPL matches and cricket
matches are some notable mentions.Also Hotstar also got access of Hollywood shows
and movies with its premium feature
3.Netflix:-Seeing the success of online Digital content.Netflix has
launched its original hindi series Sacred games which is extremely liked by
Indian viewers.With an Imdb rating of 9.2 it shows the newness,suspense and
drama which is very much required in
Indian channels
4.Viu:-Viu another online digital platform had launched its web series
named “Social” based on crime,cyber security and dark web.Viu has also Korean shows
and other offerings to cater the needs of Indian viewers
5.Voot ,Sony LIV and ALT Balaji:-Voot the online platform of Viacom
18 which has shows from Mtv.colors and movies.Sony liv the online content for
Sony TV and Ekta’s Alt Balaji has some good shows to be offered
All the web seasons are able to
tell a story more than 2 hours of movie and less than soap. So it would .The
online content is its intial entrance stage and it’s a dark horse and would
give tough time for the TV industry .To be fare enough if Indian TV channels
do not start focussing on revisiting their strategies then soon Online
Digital content would not be a other viewing option rather substitute Television.
