Indian media conglomerate Zee Entertainment Enterprises has announced a premium VOD service Zee Plex. The platform makes it likely that more top film titles will bypass cinemas and release directly online, at a time when Indian cinemas remain shuttered due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Zee5 platform was one of the first to announce a direct-to-ott title with “Ghoomketu,” starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui (“Sacred Games”). In recent months, there has been a spate of Indian titles bowing directly on streamers including Disney Plus Hotstar, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.
“While we all love to catch the latest movies at the nearest theaters, we sensed the need for a solution like this, which gives the consumer flexibility and convenience, to catch their favorite films in the comfort of their homes, along with friends and family,” said Zee Studios CEO Shariq Patel. “We have received great interest from producers and are looking forward...

The number of confirmed coronavirus cases in India crossed one million today, meaning the country now has the third highest infection rate in the world behind only Brazil and the U.S.. That compounded news earlier this week that Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, and his family, had tested positive for the virus and were being admitted to hospital for treatment.
