More Than 270 Indian OTT Originals Released in 2022. Here Are All of Them

Published by Webster

Is the Indian OTT industry maturing? For the first time in five years, since we began tracking Indian original content from streaming services, there were fewer originals in 2022 than what we had last year. That might be in part to the fact that cinemas were open for business across most of 2022. While OTT platforms enjoyed the benefit of a restrictive film market during the COVID-19 lockdown years, that advantage evaporated this year. Movies that were sold to the likes of Netflix, Zee5, Disney+ Hotstar, and Amazon Prime Video went back to theatres in 2022. Still, there were a few big names — legacy and new-age — who made their streaming debut in 2022, in Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone, Madhuri Dixit, Ranveer Singh, and Diljit Dosanjh. Dixit had two releases in fact, across Netflix and Prime Video. Many, who had previously made OTT debuts in 2020 and 2021, returned, including Dhanush, Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Anil Kapoor, Taapsee Pannu, Vidya Balan, Vicky Kaushal, Rajkummar Rao, and Kartik Aaryan. Pannu was the most prolific amongst …
