OTT Platforms Are Gaining Popularity?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">By 2025, more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesstoday.in\/interactive\/longread\/now-streaming-regional-rush-59-08-11-2021\">50% of the total time spent<\/a> on OTT platforms will be consumed in regional content. There are more than 40 video OTT apps streaming in India, of which 12 to 15 are regional video OTT apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Much like the rise of regional television a couple of decades ago, OTT streaming content in southern languages \u200b\u200bis spoiling viewers for choice. Now viewers can view South Indian movies, cooking shows, reality shows, and other content within the comfort of their sofas, all thanks to top OTT players like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Local and international OTT platforms are competing aggressively for audience attention in four southern states. Each of them has dozen-odd players satisfying the growing demand of an audience that seems to love the abundant diversity. Both newbies and established writers and filmmakers have realized the opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">&#8220;<strong>Minnal Murali<\/strong>&#8221; &#8211; a Malayalam movie was in the top ten non-English films on Netflix, with around 5.9 million viewing hours. Whereas &#8220;<strong>Soorarai Pottru<\/strong>,&#8221; &#8220;<strong>Sarpatta Parambarai<\/strong>&#8221; and &#8220;<strong>Jai Bhim<\/strong>&#8221; are among Amazon Prime Video&#8217;s biggest hits. Once released in theaters, the period drama &#8220;<strong>RRR<\/strong>&#8221; will be dubbed in Korean, Spanish, and Portuguese for Netflix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Netflix has its Tamil anthology <strong>Navarasa <\/strong>featured in the Top 10 in countries including Sri Lanka, India, and Malaysia. It has around 40% of viewers from outside India for the movie in just the first week on Netflix.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-x-large-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_the_South_Indian_OTT_Boom\"><\/span>Why the South Indian OTT Boom?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In the last year, films such as Pitta Kathalu (Telugu), Nayattu (Malayalam), Andhaghaaram (Tamil), Mandela (Tamil), Paava Kadhaigal (Tamil), and Cinema Bandi (Telugu) have all featured in the Top 10 in India. The Tweet by IANS India states, &#8216;South&#8217;s #OTT boom rides on platforms exploring new content options.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">South&#39;s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/OTT?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#OTT<\/a> boom rides on platforms exploring new content options <br><br>Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DeHsagYI9d\">https:\/\/t.co\/DeHsagYI9d<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5EBV3lX0Ji\">pic.twitter.com\/5EBV3lX0Ji<\/a><\/p>&mdash; IANS (@ians_india) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ians_india\/status\/1510502328427679745?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 3, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Pratiksha Rao, director of films and licensing at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/\">Netflix<\/a>, stated that &#8220;OTT growth in the country has delivered massive opportunities for new talent to share their stories globally.&#8221; She further added we&#8217;re excited to have stories produced by a new generation from South India. They continue to set exceptional standards with their relatable and authentic stories across genres.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">As the company grows its film slate to have original and licensed films from these languages, it has launched a Twitter handle dedicated to conversations on south Indian movies, having heard from members that they would like to engage deeply on the same, Rao said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Head of content licensing, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.primevideo.com\/\">Prime Video<\/a>, Manish Menghani, said for movies in Malayalam, Kannada, Tamil, and Telugu, 50% of the audiences come from outside the respective home states. These movies are being viewed in around 170 countries, with international viewers accounting for 20% of the total audiences of local-language films.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The Telugu language space is spread across Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh is a larger market. All the primary OTT names have made a beeline for Telugu land. As a result, viewers have international majors like Amazon Prime, Netflix, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotstar.com\/\">Hotstar<\/a>, Sony Liv, Zee5, and SunNxt. Aha, the Telugu OTT platform is creating a buzz with its Telugu orientation. Let&#8217;s explore a few more reasons for this boom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fresh_Storylines\"><\/span>Fresh Storylines<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">South Indian cinema has long been known for its innovative and bold storytelling. Unlike the repetitive narratives sometimes seen in mainstream Hindi cinema, South Indian films often delve into untouched themes, exploring complex human emotions, societal issues, and larger-than-life action sequences that keep viewers engaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cultural_Resonance\"><\/span>Cultural Resonance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Films from the southern regions of India offer a deep connection to their cultural roots, making them relatable to regional audiences and intriguing to international viewers. The authenticity in depicting regional customs, traditions, and languages creates a unique cinematic experience that transcends borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pan-India_Appeal\"><\/span>Pan-India Appeal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">With films like Baahubali, K.G.F., and Pushpa, South Indian cinema has captured the imagination of audiences across India and beyond. These films have successfully bridged the language divide, gaining popularity in dubbed versions and with subtitles. OTT platforms have only amplified this reach, making South films available to non-native speakers with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Star_Power_and_Talent\"><\/span>Star Power and Talent<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Actors from the South, like Allu Arjun, Yash, Prabhas, and Vijay Sethupathi, have gained a pan-India and even global fan base. Their performances, paired with the direction and production values of Southern cinema, have helped the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alphansotech.com\/blog\/how-ott-platforms-are-transforming-the-entertainment-industry-in-india\/\">industry thrive<\/a> on OTT platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-x-large-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"OTT_Platforms_Fueling_South_Indian_Cinema\"><\/span>OTT Platforms Fueling South Indian Cinema<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The pandemic&#8217;s spread played a crucial role in catapulting OTT platforms. These platforms catered to the entertainment needs of Telugu audiences and proved as a life-saver for showbiz and audiences. Most leading OTT platforms rely on a content mix of web series and movies. The streaming inventory is made up of dubbed versions of English and other Indian television serials and movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The OTT platforms enable entertainment majors to monetize their content in regional languages. Indian subscription over-the-top and video-on-demand streaming service, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aha.video\/\">Aha<\/a> has set out on a trajectory powered by Telugu content. &#8220;<strong>NBK-Totally Unstoppable<\/strong>&#8221; is a famous talk show featuring Telugu star Nandamuri Balakrishna, which has given the OTT platform enviable traction with audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">&#8220;<strong>Bhamakalapam<\/strong>,&#8221; starring Priyamani, who gained a national following after appearing in &#8216;Family Man&#8217; and &#8216;Indian Idol,&#8217; is among the most delinquent offerings the platform has picked up to drive growth. Besides limited fare in Karnataka, OTT platforms have little to offer viewers. Local actors are trying to fill these gaps by launching OTT platforms dedicated to Tulu and Konkani languages spoken in coastal regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Many OTT apps are in the market or are in the development phase. The Kerala government has planned to launch a broadcast to support low-budget independent filmmakers. Many factors limit movie-based entertainment content; OTT players are not shying from looking beyond the beaten path. Malayalam OTT platform Koode has made its own identity, cutting through the clutter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Radhakrishnan Ramachandran, the founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koode.in\/\">Koode<\/a>, said, &#8220;Many platforms focus on movies, but we would like to go for a broader range, so we&#8217;re looking at data and analytics.&#8221; &#8220;We analyze data to identify what kind of content genres the audience is watching. We believe that good content will have takers and experience across multiple genres,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Impact_on_Indian_Cinema\"><\/span>Impact on Indian Cinema<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The whole world is getting on track after two years of restrictions and social distancing rules, OTT platforms remain on the top entertainment menu of audiences globally. It&#8217;s no more different in the South. Over-the-top (OTT) platforms have transformed the way we consume content. Appointment viewing on traditional TV has been replaced by anywhere and anytime viewing video streaming apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">However, Indian audiences love regional content on OTT platforms when it comes to streaming. Time spent on video streaming apps or OTT platforms increased by 140% in 2019 in countries like Australia, India, Indonesia, Thailand, and South Korea. However, going through the gender breakup data, male viewership is more elevated than female viewership on streaming platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The over-the-top video (OTT) market will continue to grow at a fast pace, and with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abiresearch.com\/press\/ott-video-services-climb-us514-billion-2022-creating-more-pressure-traditional-pay-tv-services\/\">10% surge in compound annual growth rate<\/a> through 2022, the market will generate around $51.4 billion. India has nearly 20 OTT platforms with content ranging from Bollywood to Hollywood, and other movies, TV shows, animations, and other regional content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The mobile data consumption growth per capita has contributed to time spent watching content online. Rural and semi-urban areas have come out of the internet dark zones, and cost-effective data plans have increased the consumption of regional language content on OTT platforms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_Your_OTT_Platform_to_Become_Part_of_a_Growing_Market\"><\/span>Get Your OTT Platform to Become Part of a Growing Market!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Looking at the growing market and opportunities many are choosing to develop or invest in a feature-rich <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alphansotech.com\/video-streaming-script\">video streaming script<\/a>.
