- Ramayana: Part One, directed by Nitesh Tiwari and starring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, will be available to buy on demand from JioHotstar in India after its theatrical run.
- JioHotstar struck a deal with Prime Focus Studios to sell the film as a separate pay-per-view purchase on its platform, distinct from a standard subscription release.
Why it matters: The PVOD-on-JioHotstar windowing for a marquee Bollywood title signals that India's top streamer is willing to monetize tentpole Indian IP à la premium VOD rather than burying it inside a subscription bundle — giving Prime Focus a second revenue stream beyond the box office.
