In this post, I am sharing the Confirmed list of Movies and Web-Series releasing in January 2023 on OTT and Cinemas. After the good number of releases in the last month of 2022, we have very small number of releases in both cinemas and digital platform in the first month. As of now we have only one web-series confirmed for this month but there are in pipelines, but dates are not announced yet hence not included in this list.
This month we have comeback and most awaited movie of superstar Shahrukh Khan starrer Pathaan. It has created a tremendous hype among audience and Box-office has very high hopes to start this year with bang. For audiences OTT platforms are like a cinema hall after the lockdown, they are enjoying different contents in form of movies and web-series on different platforms. It will double bonanza for audiences as they can watch the films on OTT as well as cinemas of their choice.
