Top 5 films/series releasing across OTT platforms on Holi
This year, people will celebrate Holi with full glory after two years of lull. But many would prefer spending time indoors with their families and friends and watching cinemas/series. While Bachchhan Paandey is the sole Hindi movie to hit theaters on Holi, the OTT space is a lot richer. We list the top five films/series that will release across digital platforms on that day.
'Jalsa': Vidya Balan-Shefali Shah thriller to stream on Prime Video
Jalsa is our first pick. Led by stalwarts like Vidya Balan and Shefali Shah, the Bollywood thriller, produced by T-Series and Abundantia Entertainment, will try to find out the person who has killed Shah's daughter in a hit-and-run. Balan plays a journalist in the film that has the tagline, "One truth that becomes everyone's secret." The Suresh Triveni-directorial is arriving on Amazon Prime Video.
'Eternally Confused And Eager For Love': Premiering on Netflix
Produced by Tiger Baby Films and Excel Entertainment, Eternally Confused And Eager For Love is a coming-of-age web series. It stars Vihaan Samat, Rahul Bose, Suchitra Pillai, and Jim Sarbh.

'Salute': Dulquer Salmaan's cop film coming on SonyLIV
After much dilly-dallying, makers of Dulquer Salmaan's Salute finally opted for a digital release. The cop drama is releasing on SonyLIV on Holi.
