In this post, I am sharing the Confirmed list of Web-series and Movies releasing in January 2021 on OTT. As we know due to ongoing Covid-19 Pandemic cinema halls is running 50% capacity as per MHA so only few movies are releasing in theatres directly. But still audiences not are showing any excitement to release the movie in theatres so it seems still wee multiple movies releasing on digital platform instead of big screens.
For audiences OTT platforms are like a cinema halls after the lockdown, they are enjoying different contents in form of movies and web-series on different platforms and interesting facts is that many films and Web-series are even clashing on OTT.

Durgesh Tiwary’s View : In my view Kaagz is the movies to watch out for in this month because movie is based on true events.
In web series I will prefer Tandav and Zidd. Tandav is a political drama with ensemble star cast and directed by Ali Abbas Zafar and while Zidd is based on true story of a solider.
What’s your top picks among all movies and web series. You can share your view in comment section.
