Ekta Kapoor, the queen of Indian television and digital storytelling, is making a strong comeback in the OTT space with her new app Kutingg. Launched by Balaji Telefilms, Kutingg is positioned as a family-friendly platform offering a range of content including daily shows, weekend binges, chat shows, and short-form videos optimized for mobile viewing. The app even offers vertical video formats, making it easier for users to enjoy content on their phones without any hassle.
This launch comes in the wake of the government banning Kapoor’s earlier app ALTT for spreading content considered obscene. While ALTT stirred controversy, Kutingg is designed as the complete opposite, aiming to provide safe and wholesome entertainment suitable for viewers of all ages. Kapoor appears to be learning from past setbacks and is focusing on creating a digital space that mirrors the family appeal of her successful television shows.
Kutingg represents more than just a new app. It signals Ekta Kapoor’s determination to stay relevant in the competitive world of digital streaming. Even after facing challenges with ALTT, Kapoor and her team are showing that they are not willing to step away from digital storytelling. Instead, they are reimagining it for a mobile-first audience, prioritizing family values while keeping the platform entertaining and engaging.
The timing of the launch is also noteworthy. In June, Balaji Telefilms signed a long-term deal with Netflix to co-create original films and shows for the Indian market. This collaboration suggests that Kapoor is not only focused on her own platforms but is also keen to expand her presence across established OTT services, leveraging her storytelling expertise to reach wider audiences.
Kutingg aims to bring back the same instinct that made Ekta Kapoor a household name on television, but in a new digital avatar. The platform promises to cater to family audiences, providing entertainment that is both engaging and safe. From curated shows to binge-worthy content, Kutingg appears ready to carve its own niche in the streaming ecosystem.
With Kutingg, Ekta Kapoor is proving that setbacks are only a stepping stone and that her vision for digital entertainment remains strong. Fans can expect a mix of nostalgia, new stories, and engaging formats that bring family and friends together for quality entertainment.
