MUMBAI: If 2024 was a cinematic knockout, then 2025 is already shaping up to be a content juggernaut for Jio Studios. After delivering a string of smash hits last year-including Article 370, Laapataa Ladies, and Shaitaan, plus record-breaking blockbusters like Stree 2 and Singham Again-Jio Studios has wasted no time in kicking off 2025 with a bang. The momentum continued with the Sky Force release, which soared at the box office and received glowing reviews.
Jio Studios isn’t just ruling the big screen—it’s also dominating the OTT space. The studio has already dropped eight major releases across digital platforms, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
Among the early 2025 highlights:
. Mrs. – A bold and conversation-sparking film on Zee5
. Dhoom Dhaam – The ultimate binge-watch on Netflix
. The Storyteller – A masterful nod to Satyajit Ray’s cinematic legacy
. Kaushaljis vs Kaushal – A heartfelt exploration of second chances in love on JioHotstar
These titles aren’t just topping streaming charts—they’re also leading Ormax reports, proving that Jio Studios isn’t just creating content; it’s setting the benchmark.
As Jio Studios continues to push creative boundaries, audiences can expect a packed year of high-quality, genre-defying content. With eight plus titles already launched and more in the pipeline, the studio is doubling down on its commitment to delivering fresh, diverse, and engaging stories to audiences everywhere.

Priyanka Kaur Dhillon joins SVF Entertainment as lead for music distribution
A seasoned content dealmaker with 16 years in digital and satellite media joins the Bengali entertainment powerhouse as it pushes into the pan-India music market
Mumbai: Priyanka Kaur Dhillon has made her move. The content acquisitions and commercials veteran, most recently commercial manager at Sony Pictures Networks India, has joined SVF Entertainment as lead for music distribution, stepping into one of the more interesting briefs in regional entertainment right now.
SVF is no ordinary regional label. Over 30 years it has built a formidable legacy in Bengali cinema and music, driven by culturally resonant storytelling and a catalogue that consistently punches above its weight. Its recent success with Chiraiya underlines the point. But the Kolkata-based powerhouse now has its sights firmly set beyond Bengal, most visibly through Legacy, a rap reality series produced in collaboration with hip-hop label Kalamkaar that signals a deliberate push into the pan-India music ecosystem.
Dhillon brings precisely the kind of muscle SVF needs for that expansion. At Sony Pictures Networks India, she led film acquisition and commercials and handled music licensing across the entire satellite network. Before that, she spent nearly 15 years at Hungama, rising to assistant general manager and leading strategic content licensing for the platform’s digital entertainment business, with a particular focus on international markets. Her label relationships span the full roster: Sony Music, Universal Music, Warner Music, Believe International, Tunecore, The Orchard and a clutch of smaller aggregators. She has negotiated and closed deals with Hollywood studios, Bollywood production houses and regional content players alike, building pricing models and deal structures off data analysis rather than instinct.
Announcing the appointment, Dhillon said she was “thrilled to begin this journey with an iconic Bengali music label and content powerhouse,” adding that SVF’s “constant drive to push boundaries” was what drew her to the role.
SVF has spent three decades proving that regional does not mean limited. With a sharp commercial operator now steering its music distribution, its bid to go national just got a good deal more serious.
