In this post, I am sharing the Confirmed list of Web-series and Movies releasing in April 2021 on OTT and Cinemas. When situation started to seem better and filmmakers decided to release films in theatres, the number of coronavirus cases in the country have started to rise, again. This has further compelled makers to rethink releasing their films in theatres. Some of them have already delayed the releases.
So far few films have already postponed again due to Covid-19 cases. List includes Haathi Mere Saathi, Chehre and Bunty Aur Babli 2 and in coming days we may seen many more movies to be postponed again because Second Wave of Covid-19 is spreading twice faster than first wave & I don’t think so it will get restrained anytime soon. In that case Film-makers will again head towards OTT for release of their films.
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. Now they can watch the movies on both OTT and Cinemas as per their choices onwards.
