Bollywood has ruled over Hindi speaking population’s entertainment time for a very long period of time. To many of the middle-aged population, it is still the same. But for the millenniums, things have changed drastically in the last few years.

Cable connection and DVDs at a time introduced the Indian youth to a world of English TV Series and Hollywood movies of various genres. This backed the younger generation with a wide range of content-based shows and movies, which were a lot different than the one they were yet familiar with.

Then this generation was later introduced with the OTT platforms, and now even the leftover restrictions were not relevant anymore. OTTs provided a wide collection of unlimited content at a single touch.

Millenniums now are breaking the stereotypes, by walking an extra mile and preferring content over language and star-cast. Nowadays, even subtitles are celebrated if the content is worth it. Indians who have been going through English, Spanish and Korean content, now appear to stop at South-Indian cinema.

A lot of critically acclaimed south-regional movies released on different OTT platforms, due to covid related restrictions, were applauded by the Hindi-speaking population, even when most of them were only released in their regional languages. Twitter users even trend #SubtitlesZindabad while appreciating the efforts of Malayalam, Telugu, and Tamil filmmakers.
