No...as far as I recall, Bepannah was intended to go fully digital (as per the channel) but Harshad and Jenny said no for whatever reason. Beyhadh 2 I think *did* go digital or was agreed it would but then ended abruptly due to Covid anyway.
Yeah Silsila lasted a few months as digital-only, I think. Berang has Kanneda and that Bawra Dil show both coming up, right? One to replace BB, and one to replace deadwa? For a channel that somehow manages to get excellent actors and popular jodis gracing its screens, it sure does know how to f* it up
I agree - Voot is fairly rubbish at the best of times...and I don't think its viewership is as strong as Hotstar's (definitely isn't, given Anupama e.g. gets online TRPs in the high 40s each week). Plus anyone outside of India would have to watch using VPNs, which who knows how many people use, or they'd have to rely on illegal livestreams on YT or elsewhere. So yeah, I tend to think a move from TV to OTT is just a sign that the end is nigh...it's a last-ditch effort usually. I'd have taken it, tbh, but we weren't given that chance (tho IDK if the actors would have agreed...) Doesn't matter much to me either way since I watch online regardless, but I guess for those used to watching on TV it's a big change.
