Streaming Platforms Roll Out a Crowded June OTT Slate

Platforms are accelerating digital premieres to capture a rapidly growing pool of viewers.

Overview

  • The rush begins on June 4 with two high-profile debuts: Dhurandhar: The Revenge on JioHotstar and Maa Behen on Netflix, both confirmed by multiple outlets.
  • June 5 adds more major titles, including Gullak Season 5 on SonyLIV, Brown and Patriot on ZEE5, and Netflix's Office Romance, creating a packed weekend of releases.
  • Dhurandhar will stream in India with a 'Raw & Undekha' uncensored cut that has already played on international platforms according to coverage.
  • Big theatrical hits are scheduled to follow later in June, with Bhooth Bangla arriving on Netflix on June 12, Avatar: Fire and Ash on JioHotstar on June 24, and Raja Shivaji on Netflix on June 26.
  • Industry reporting says global OTT subscriptions have passed two billion and India’s market is set to grow toward 600 million viewers, a trend that helps explain the tight scheduling, wider regional language bets and tougher platform competition for eyeballs.
