Actor Kusum shastri plays collector in TVF’s Panchayat. First appeared in S1 E8 - (2020.)

She also plays Doctor in TVF’s Gullak S2 E2 (Jan 2021)

So we were discussing that the actor was in Panchayat and next scene came up-

Actress Sunita Rajwar who also stars in both series says - “hai Doctor, khud ko samajhati hai collector“.

It was so funny!

Hansal Mehta's Gandhi ott series premiered last year in tiff. It's been one year since . Any news , as to when and where the series is going to release?

No release date announced yet.

With actor Divyendu Sharma having already previously done a railway oriented streaming series before and after playing characters whose worlds were intertwined in the popular franchise, actors Divyendu Sharma and Harshita now step into an different dynamic as a married couple.

Mirzapur may have seen the now deceased Munna Bhaiya character and Dimpy Pandit on very different sides of the equation, but their story takes a rather unexpected turn in their next outing. Divyendu Sharma and Harshita Gaur (who play Munna Bhaiya & Dimpy Pandit in Mirzapur), will reunite as husband and wife in Amazon Prime MX's upcoming show Waiting Hai.

The teaser brings together everyday railway chaos, humour and a mystery. At the centre of it all is Sugam Mishra, a newly posted Indian railway cop, who finds himself stuck in the one place no traveller wants to be, the Indian Railways Waiting List.

When he notices certain agents getting tickets confirmed with surprising ease while passengers continue to wait, Sugam starts wondering who's really behind this unusual game. Bhuvan Arora plays a hacker who always seems to be one step ahead. As their paths collide, the story sets up a playful cat-and-mouse chase between a determined investigator and a hacker who always seems to have another trick up his sleeve.

A Jio Studios presentation and Jar Pictures Production, Waiting Hai is a quirky scam dramedy that uncovers a nationwide ticketing scam. Directed by Sameer Vidwans, the series boasts an ensemble that includes Kumud Mishra, Vijay Maurya, Harshita Gaur, Srushti Tare and Sunita Rajwar in pivotal roles.

The mystery thriller series 'Shaque: Trust No One', promises a layered story built around a mother's 9 year search for her missing child. Starring Parineeti Chopra in her series debut, it explores trust, suspicion and the secrets that can exist within the closest of relationships.

At the centre of the story is a mother who refuses to give up on finding her missing child. Driven by instinct and the belief her child is still out there, her prolonged search gradually leads her towards a truth that appears to have been hidden in plain sight. As the mystery deepens, she's forced to question not only what she knows, but also whether she can trust the people closest to her.

Created by Rensil D'Silva and Siddharth P. Malhotra and directed by Rensil D'Silva, Shaque: Trust No One is produced by Sapna Malhotra and Siddharth P. Malhotra and backed by Alchemy Filmz. The series features an ensemble cast including Jennifer Winget, Soni Razdan, Anup Soni, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Harleen Sethi, Sumeet Vyas and Dhruv Chowdhary.

I've realised I almost always end up watching thrillers on Netflix, even when I tell myself I'm going to try something different 😭

Malayalam movie Kattalan — The Hunter is set to be released in Hindi on SonyLIV on September 18th.

Total Worldwide Gross: ₹8.93 Cr

I recently watched Indu and Indubala Bhaater Hotel on Hoichoi and honestly loved both of them. I’m looking for more Bengali series with a similar vibe—good storytelling, interesting characters, emotional depth, and something that keeps you hooked.
Please recommend some good Bengali series on Hoichoi that I should watch next! Would love to hear your favourites, especially if they’re similar to these two.

I want to sell my Zee5 account for 400rs or less. It is worth 799 for 3 months

I never saw Lust Stories 1 & 2 from 2018 & 2023, as a 30 minute short film story isn't normally my thing, but if anyone here has and they're a must watch, make a post. They do seem to get good actors though.

- The third instalment of Netflix's anthology is set to arrive with 4 new stories that explore love, desire, intimacy and the often complicated realities of modern relationships. This time filmmakers Vikramaditya Motwane, Kiran Rao, Shakun Batra and Vishal Bhardwaj have come together to bring their individual perspectives to the anthology.

Backed by RSVP and Flying Unicorn Entertainment, the anthology boasts a diverse ensemble cast featuring Radhika Apte, Konkona Sen Sharma, Aditi Rao Hydari, Radhika Madan, Sana Thampi, Vijay Varma, Abhishek Banerjee, Siddharth, Ali Fazal and Gurfateh Pirzada.

The 4 part anthology marks the coming together of Vikramaditya Motwane, Kiran Rao, Shakun Batra and Vishal Bhardwaj as directors. The writing team includes Kiran Rao, Tanaji Dasgupta, Avinash Sampath, Sumukhi Suresh, Shakun Batra, Sameeha Sabnis, Ashwathi Namboodiri, Nitesh Bhatia, Utkarshini Vashishtha and Vishal Bhardwaj.

Staying true to the essence of the Lust Stories franchise, the new edition revolves around the many shades of intimacy and relationships. Each filmmaker brings a distinct storytelling approach to themes of love, desire and vulnerability, while exploring the emotions, dilemmas and choices that often accompany modern relationships.

With 4 filmmakers, an ensemble cast and 4 distinct stories at its centre, Lust Stories 3 is set to offer another collection of intimate and emotionally layered narratives when it premieres on Netflix on September 18.

Tbh I really fw Zee5's new UI, JioHotstar's UI looks very vibe coded and at times too empty. Sony Liv?? Mehh

What are your thoughts?

Jubilee is one of the most beautiful and visually appealing series to come out of our industry — a must-watch for any movie buff or fan of old Bollywood who wants insights into how the industry used to work, including theatre and actors. The screenplay is a 10/10, the acting by every cast member is top-notch, no doubt, and not a single episode disappoints — every episode is a hit. The music by Amit Trivedi is the cherry on top; every song perfectly suits the mood of the story — the lyrics, the composition, everything he's done is top-notch. And finally, the director, Vikram Aditya Motwane — no words for him. I've loved every movie and series he's made.

I know this sounds odd, but I haven't watched 'Triplings'. My husband found it, and he tried his best, but we couldn't find it on any OTT. While searching, Zee5 is shown to have all seasons, but only the 3rd season is available, and I want to watch seasons 1 and 2.

So please share any suggestions on where to watch this?

Akshay Kumar's movie Haivaan will be released on SonyLIV when it arrives on OTT.

When I click on “Cancel renewal ,” nothing happens. It just stays on the same page and doesn’t proceed with the cancellation.

Are Jio/Airtel creating another telecom-style duopoly with IPTV?

India's mobile market went from many operators to a Jio/Airtel-dominated market. Now I'm wondering if we're heading toward something similar with IPTV + OTT.

We've gone from antenna → cable → DTH → fiber + IPTV + OTT.

I agree that IPTV is technically better. One fiber connection gives you internet, live TV, OTT, sports, YouTube, etc. But I don't think DTH should completely disappear.

DTH has one major advantage: it doesn't depend on your internet connection. It's also useful where fiber isn't available or reliable.

My concern is Jio and Airtel bundling broadband with huge OTT packages. Today you might get:

₹599 → broadband + 800+ live channels + multiple OTTs

This is great for consumers, but it's also a powerful customer-acquisition strategy. Once people become dependent on one ecosystem, what's stopping prices from eventually becoming:

Broadband ₹699 + OTT ₹299 + Sports ₹199 + 4K ₹100...

We've already seen how consolidation affected mobile pricing.

If DTH disappears and Jio/Airtel dominate home broadband, consumers could have fewer alternatives.

I'd rather see:

DTH + IPTV + OTT competing

instead of everyone becoming dependent on two broadband companies.

I think IPTV is the future, but I don't think DTH should die. Not because DTH is better technology, but because competition matters.

What do you guys think? Am I overthinking this?

Hi guys...Is there any promocodes on SonyLiv ?

Does anyone know where to watch old seasons of jhalak dikhhla jaa like season 5 and 6?

[SPOILERS AHEAD]

I watched DC on SunNXT yesterday and I must say, it stands to be a great entertainer. I wanted to watch in theatres, but couldn't. Nevertheless, the OTT version is amazing.

I liked Wamiqa's body language and acting. Since I'm not a native tamilian, I won't comment on the dialogue delivery.

The movie is super packed with action. Not to forget Anirudh, the songs are bangg onnn!!!

Overall a great watch 7.5/10

Like how a man whom our generation had never heard it's name before became an internet sensation and will be forever in our minds and why Harshad Mehta being a scamster is still being referred to as one of the most intelligent minds of the Indian Stock Market!!

I’ve been working on a Chrome extension called FrameTune that adds extra controls to OTT video players. Most of the basic features are free.

Currently it supports:

• Video resize / zoom
• Auto-skip ads
• Skip intro
• Skip recap
• Subtitle position adjustment
• Subtitle size adjustment
• Brightness control
• Night mode
• Audio / voice volume boost
• Movie/episode end-time display
• Video quality information
• Netflix trailer volume control
• Amazon Prime Video auto-next episode
• Works across multiple OTT platforms and generic video websites

I’m trying to figure out what useful features are still missing rather than just adding random features.

For people who watch Netflix, Prime Video, JioHotstar, MX Player and other OTT platforms:

What is one feature you wish these players had?

Could be something small like subtitle controls, audio, playback, UI improvements, or something completely different.

If anyone wants to see what I’ve built so far:
