Are Web Series The New Trend Of Bollywood Entertainment

Watching movies has been the best pastime for all age groups. The thrill of watching your favorite actors in new roles is exciting. 

Whether a hero whom you have always cheered or an unexpected villain, cinema brings all the excitement for its viewers in various forms. 

From eruptive action to pulse-racing thrillers to romance, suspense, comedy, and even artistic films, there is something for everyone.

But with time, things have changed fast. For the past few years, web series have emerged as a new entertainment trend. 

This streaming universe is getting bolder and richer, making people addicted indoors and outdoors. There are actors whom we never knew before who have now become household names.

Among the actors from Bollywood is Abhishek Bachchan, who starred in Breathe Into The Shadows. Actors like Bobby Deol made a terrific comeback as the antagonist character Baba Nirala in Ashram.

Actresses like Madhuri Dixit are also seen in series like Fame Game and now the upcoming series Mrs Deshpande, in which she will be playing a sinister character.

Mohit Raina, whom we all loved as Lord Shiva in Devon Ke Dev Mahadev, was seen as a braveheart cop in Bhaukaal.

The series streams on MX Player, showcasing the gritty realism of anti-social elements and the strong characters that stand against them.

The character he played was inspired by IPS officer Naveen Sikera. So what’s actually making such a big difference between web series and movies at cinema halls?

Well, the answer to this is that web series come up with unpredictable plots and engaging storylines that keep viewers waiting for new seasons. In the case of movies, most of them are one-time watches, which are forgotten later.

What Makes Web Series Special?

The only drawback with web series in comparison to films is their long time in bringing new seasons, keeping viewers' fingers crossed. 

With multiple episodes, it takes a hard time for writers to develop the characters and maintain the consistency of the storyline, and to come up with new, complicated and engaging add-ons.

Kiara Advani, the pretty face on the big screen, was seen in a different challenging role in the web series Guilty. She was applauded for her terrific performance. In other words, we can say that with powerful scripts, it does attract actors, and with that, it drives the viewers' traffic.
