Nobody knew of the changes this pandemic would bring in the last 5 months, not even the filmmakers. There was a time when each Friday came with some new releases to entertain us but things are not the same now. With no date of cinema halls opening soon, the makers had to arrive at a consensus with several OTT platforms to give their movies a space to escape the loss. All the movies that got released in the last few days or which are about to premiere were earlier fixed for theatrical release but had no other option left than to keep peace with OTT release to survive the budget. Since tough times call for tough decisions, so the makers were prompted to come to terms of the crisis, and who knows this may become a new normal. At least one thing people should be happy about is that they are free to watch the movie in smartphones at their convenience during the lockdown.

Today, we at TSA have brought the list of major movies or series that are going to go on air later this month. Please check with the list and let us know which movie you are excited about.
