Voot to stream ‘It’s not that simple’ S2
MUMBAI: Voot is all set to roll out its original series, It’s Not That Simple—S2, starting 14 December 2018. The series is produced by Victor Tango Entertainment and directed by Danish Aslam.
His vs Her. Whose ambition is bigger? Are her choices easier than his? Is her affair worse than his fling? Is her truth more complex than his reality? Divorced and determined to rise, Mira Verma has everything at stake – her career, her love, her very identity! Fighting for her rightful place in a world where men and women are judged differently, Mira's story in Voot Original – It’s Not That Simple answers the age-old question: does sex matter?
Voot head content Monika Shergill said, “Timely and relevant, our new Voot Original takes the current gender conflict head on with a powerful female character and four alpha males each with their ambitions, truths and choices! No one is entirely right or fully wrong and the answers are as complex in a gender debate as the questions. Voot has always told nuanced, thought provoking stories and It’s Not That Simple will force you to have a point of view.”

Subedaar puts Indian original cinema on the global map with record-breaking Prime Video debut
MUMBAI: Prime Video has a runaway hit on its hands. Subedaar, the gritty action drama starring Anil Kapoor, has stormed to become the most-watched Indian original movie on the platform in its opening weekend, cracking the Top 10 across 31 countries and landing in 91 per cent of India’s pin codes within days of its March 5 premiere.
The film, a visceral, emotionally-charged story of a retired soldier, Subedaar Arjun Maurya, wrestling with civilian life amid crime and corruption, has struck a nerve. Directed by Suresh Triveni and co-starring Radhikka Madan, Mona Singh, Saurabh Shukla, Aditya Rawal, Faisal Malik, and Khushboo Sundar, the film is already being hailed as a showcase for what Indian original storytelling can achieve on the world stage.
“Subedaar’s success is a reflection of the growing scale and global resonance of Indian storytelling,” said Nikhil Madhok, director and head of originals at Prime Video India. “The film’s emotional narrative, its rooted portrayal of a soldier confronting his toughest battles beyond the battlefield, has struck a chord. Anil Kapoor delivers an acting masterclass, while Suresh Triveni’s solid direction and great performances from the ensemble cast have resulted in love and appreciation from customers across the world.”
Kapoor, 62, has been here before, but rarely at this altitude. Written by Triveni and Prajwal Chandrashekar, with dialogues by Triveni, Saurabh Dwivedi, and Chandrashekar, the film is a production by Opening Image Films in association with Anil Kapoor Film & Communication Network (AKFCN), produced by Vikram Malhotra, Kapoor, and Triveni.
Subedaar streams exclusively on Prime Video in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu across India, and in over 240 countries and territories worldwide.
For Prime Video, the numbers tell the real story: one weekend, one film, a global footprint, and a very loud signal that Indian original cinema is no longer just travelling well. It’s arriving.
