Web Series 2026: OTT platforms have changed the way we consume entertainment. If I told you six years ago, ‘streaming platforms would be the thing going forward’, you would not agree with me. Isn’t it? The likes of Netflix, Prime Video, JioHotstar, ZEE5 and SonyLIV has now become a staple diet of our entertainment platter.
Last year was a monumental year for the OTT content in India as shows like Panchayat 4, Criminal Justice season 4, Special OPs 2, Rana Naidu season 2 performed reasonably well. The Family Man season 3 created ripples in the digital space, earning rave reviews from all corners.
All eyes are on Kohra season 2 on Netflix as it releases next month. While the audience has warmed upto the OTT content, several streaming platforms showcased vulgar content, leading to criticism.
Last year, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting banned 20 OTT platforms for promoting obscenity through their shows. Ullu app, which featured shows like Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, Happy Ending, Palang Tod, Charam Sukh, faced the ire when a clip from House Arrest went viral on social media.
“The Ministry of Broadcasting and Information decided to ban 20 OTT platforms for objectionable and obscene content. OTT platforms like Ullu received flak for promoting vulgarity in society with obscene scenes in their web series. After the ban, Ullu app has removed all its content from its official website and deleted all the posts from Instagram. The makers have remained underground amid the legal restrictions following the ban,” a reliable industry source earlier told Filmibeat.
“The web series like Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, Happy Ending, Tu Dekh Meri Photo that have released online on Ullu and other such platforms have pulled from the website and app. A few of them are available on Dailymotion, but they will also be removed from the video-sharing platform. The web series featuring Natasha Rajeshwari, Malvika Tomar and other actresses that have not premiered yet will continue to remain unreleased,” the source further added.
Fans have been wondering if Bharti Jha’s new shows will release on OTT after the government ban. We have an update on the same.
A reliable industry source exclusively told Filmibeat, “Bharti Jha is in talks with a few production houses for upcoming OTT shows. However, nothing has been finalised as of now. The actress is known for her bold roles in web series, and she has been offered projects but she has not confirmed signing any of them as of now.”
On the professional front, Bharti Jha was last seen in Happy Ending Part 2.
