Yashaswini Dayama and Karanvir Malhotra talk about OTT platform evolution

In interview with What Are Odds cast Yashswini Dayama and Karanvir Malhotra were asked if y see a shift in kind of OTT content that is being produced lately. y were also asked if y see content on OTT platform changing from crime thrillers and cop drama to more coming-of- shows and movies. Answering to question, Yashaswini replied, "Hopefully. I mean like with Indie things in general, most Indie way to go is to talk about true pain and talking about things that mainstream cinema so it easily, like very loosely becomes happy things and unhappy things".

Continuing on topic Yashaswini ded that heroes and heroines do t want to do movies based on problems of common man. " masses come to atres to see big lights, big music and t see ir own lives reflected. But w audience is smarter and more vocal about it. y are sick of seeing formula film all time," she ded. Drawing in a reference of Salman Khan and Ayushmann Khurana, she said: "A couple of [Salman Khan's] last films have t worked out that well, and Ayushmann Khurrana is like killing it".

However, Yashaswini Dayama said what y are doing is really tough because "some people cant just accept it that it is a happy little film. y try to intellectualize it by trying to think like but yeh kyu nahi hua...woh answer kyu nahi mile. Its just a happy film about an odd day with odd people about two kids...take it and go".

At this point, Karanvir Malhotra interrupted saying, "But people are...like with kind of response that we are getting, especially audience you kw, it's overwhelming. To be honest, I haven't seen a response like this after seeing two major shows that I am getting after doing one independent film. So I mean what are odds! because I didn't expect this because re are so many shows and so many films on Netflix and we are trending on number four...that just shows how people are relating to this kind of thing."

Karanvir Malhotra also talked about how audience has been getting back to him about film's content. He said that many have told him that y were happy to see something that "gives m a little hope, a little smile for one and a half hours...and that's our film. It just a light simple happy film where you can just enjoy".
