In this post, I am sharing the Confirmed list of Web-series and Movies releasing in May 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.
Many movies 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. Even Toofan starring Farhan Akhtar which was planned to release on Amazon Prime Video also postponed now. Apart from that there is no any confirmation on Akshay kumar one of upcoming film Bell Botton which was slated to release on 25th May 2021.
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.
