Mega OTT Round Table 2023 | Raj & DK | Sobhita | Pushkar Gayathri | Jim Sarbh | Avinash Tiwary

[@rajeshbalduwa6229]

Surprised, no one talked about Jubliee 😢 One of the best shows that come out in 2023!

[@mamatha987656]

Seriously.. JUBILEE was the best

[@sanjumonradhakrishnan9629]

It was mentioned in one place by BR when quoting Big Production value

[@gautamraj2483]

Yeah..❤❤

[@DSR99999]

They talked at 54:00 but just for a moment

[@pratikranka7278]

Coz if wasn't the best show of the year

[@kavinanil7406]

There was this series in Tamil that aired in the 90s 'marma desam' 1995 - 2001. This was a huge show that had many seasons that touched upon paranormal, psychological thriller, sci fi, folklore based thriller. 'Marma Desam' was a pioneer genre in Tamil even before American Horror Stories were made there. Hope some OTT player revives the series on the lines of thriller of all sorts psychological, crime, gore slasher, paranormal, creature feature, horror etc.

[@Smilingmule]

I was a child when it came out. My family used to watch it regularly. Recently a few years back I watched all the episodes on kavithaalaya youtube channel. In my opinion, it was way ahead of its time and one of my fav shows ever.

[@sairam764]

I've binge watched 'Marmadesam - Vidaathu Karuppu' during covid time. The writing of the series is another level that the writers have mixed Horror, Thriller and Psychology in a perfect level. And, the parallels between past and present 🔥 It's one of the best series ever made in Tamil. Available in Kavithalayaa youtube channel

[@kavinanil7406]

@@Smilingmule those were the times.😇

[@kavinanil7406]

@@sairam764 yea and the camera work for different perspectives of how he develops those multiple personalities right from his childhood was shown with camera work. I hope they revive the series with still more complex psychological, horror, crime, and even gore thrillers. The show has such potential even now. I got hooked up with American horror stories recently. They are quite similar to marma Desam. But MD was made a decade before AHS. There is a real life incident of a family killing a maid in Kerala Pathanamthitta last year. They did for a spiritual sacrifice for gaining wealth and were cannibals too. They ate pieces of the dead women. The woman was Tamil. Shocking and so gore it was. Immediately thought of marma Desam if it were to be made into a series.

[@uthrasatagopan5952]

This is a very good suggestion. I was a student when the series used to be telecast. Several years later I encouraged my son to watch it and he loved it. Now a college student my son is sad that his friends don't know about the series. Bringing it to OTT will be an amazing thing

[@MovieBuff-m6w]

So happy to see Avinash, my man deserves all the love. Besides being a terrific actor he is well versed with the business structure, i am sure other actors are as well, but he made some great points. I love that BR acknowledges his talent❤

[@tarasharma2389]

Avinash is delightful. His comments are thought provoking. As he said, we're not yet taking advantage of this huge opportunity before us to market our films and series abroad.

[@sanjidaenam4165]

He is always watchable and good.

[@tarasharma2389]

I wish BR had asked how subtitles brought the Pan-Indian audience together for OTT. Loved the different perspectives and discussion. Avinash and Jim are more frank and forthcoming, Shobita is more diplomatic and people pleasing, Raj and DK have been frank enough to share their experiences, Pushkar Gayathri explains quite well what works with the audience and the nitty gritties of getting different shows greenlit.

[@ramasubramanianramani2975]

Awesome interview. Love the way BR brings a diverse set of folks to a panel (south/north, writers, actors, producers). Provides key insights and keeps the viewer engaged. In some ways, Galatta Plus and BR are like what OTT does, bring unique and engaging content via "interviews" and build a community of consumers around it. So different from a typical interview process (la mainstream :) ) where the interviewer and panel ask standard Qs. One sequel to this interview would be to bring Amazon/Netflix/Sony Live OTT providers and explain how they source OTT content, their selection criteria and explain the various players in the eco-system, and how the writer/director/producer can find the right OTT distribution mechanism.

Kohhra is prolly the best show to have come out on OTT this year.

[@vrushalidhongade5725]

My 2 cents - The problem with "Bollywood" or other Indian cinema is half of them made rubbish in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. Mostly cringeworthy romance or slow motion action dramas with 8-9 songs in each film. On top of that, they rejected Indic roots and culture and tried too hard to match up to Hollywood. British TV, Hollywood or Korean TV works because they are extremely unapologetic regarding their culture and they do not have a casual attitude towards their audiences. They take their work seriously and are constantly striving to raise the bar. Finally, in the past 8-9 years I'll say that Indian cinema/streaming content is beginning to move in the right direction.

I was late to netflix, never heard of it and I didn't know the word "bingeing" but I did that when all the seasons of Sons Of Anarchy was on netflix. Besides that Netflix was bad if they don't upload full seasons of t.v series, subscription was cheap compared to now and figured by the poorly written shows. First time I took netflix seriously was when Stranger Things came on.

These people have truly excelled in delivering exceptional films in 2023, showcasing remarkable direction and outstanding performances. Also I kindly request BR to consider creating a special video about the song of the decade, Guntur Karam, which is set to be released tomorrow. People from all around the world are eagerly anticipating it. It's heartwarming to know that even Palestinians and Israelis have decided to take a break tomorrow to celebrate and dance to the tune of Guntur Karam.
