Surya Sharma talks about OTT vs atres
Of course, OTT platform will see a furr rise in viewership and in content produced. I feel OTT gives to show makers to portray stories in a more elaborate manner when compared to films. Films have a lot of censorship as well, which OTT platform does t have. So OTT platforms allow a show maker to show more contemporary stories and keep it real.

Moreover, going out and watching a film in a atre, requires a person to make time from ir busy schedules. Whereas OTT platforms allow people to watch anything from comforts of ir homes. Moreover, when a person comes back from ir busy day, y can just watch something as y relax, so that increases amount of content y would be consuming. Whereas, in atres, a person would t go as often as y would watch content on OTT.
But obviously, I feel very upset seeing losses that atres are going through due to pandemic. So many people have lost ir jobs and sources of revenue.
