With the rise of the pandemic, OTT platforms have surged in popularity, becoming a go-to source for a vast array of high-quality entertainment options including web series, movies, and documentaries. These platforms allow viewers the convenience of enjoying content across various devices such as mobile phones, laptops, and tablets. While giants like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+ Hotstar dominate the market, their subscription fees often pose a barrier for many.

Jio Cinema: A standout for its complimentary offerings, Jio Cinema presents a treasure trove of movies and web series alongside live streaming for events like the TATA IPL 2024. Blockbusters such as "KGF," "Pushpa," and "RRR" are available for streaming without any charge. Note, though, that a nominal fee of Rs 100 per month is required for those interested in HBO's catalogue.
Zee5: This platform caters to a diverse audience with its free access to movies and shows in various languages. High-profile films like "Kashmir Files" and "Rang De Basanti" are readily available without a subscription, although select language films may require one.
Amazon Mini TV: The latest addition to the scene, Amazon Mini TV specializes in youth-centric movies, short films, and comedy sketches, all available for free. Noteworthy is the airing of the reality series "Playground" Season 3 and several K-dramas.
