In a surprising move, the Oscar-winning film 'Anora' will bypass its theatrical release in India and debut directly on a streaming platform. This decision may be attributed to a regulatory body, highlighting the growing trend of streaming services in the country. With the rise of online streaming, films like 'Anora' are opting for digital releases, changing the landscape of the Indian film industry. Popular streaming platforms are increasingly becoming the go-to destination for new releases, offering convenience and accessibility to audiences. As a result, the future of theatrical releases in India remains uncertain, with streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime gaining popularity.
