Amazon Prime Video India announces 58 titles – 35 series and 23 movies – for the next two years

Amazon Prime Video has unveiled 58 Indian titles for the next two years – 2022, 2023 and early 2024 – and they’re packed with enough names to delight everyone. They star Shah Rukh Khan, Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Katrina Kaif, Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, Salman Khan, Shahid Kapoor, Vijay Sethupathi, Arya, Sonakshi Sinha, Jacqueline Fernandez, Madhuri Dixit Nene, Aditi Rao Hyadri, Juhi Chawla, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Abhishek Bachchan, Jitendra Kumar, Ratna Pathak Shah, Arya, Naga Chaitanya, Parvathy Thiruvothu, Aishwarya Rajesh, Ramya Nambeesan and Vidya Balan. And they come from the mind of Vikramaditya Motwane, Raj & DK, Reema Kagti, Zoya Akhtar, Karan Johar, Sudip Sharma, Nikkhil Advani, Farhan Akhtar, Puneet Krishna, Anu Menon, Abhishek Sharma and Rohit Shetty.

Farhan and Ritesh Sidhwani’s Excel Entertainment – ​​best known for Mirzapur on Prime Video and behind Bollywood films such as Dil Chahta Hai – is the most common fixture on Amazon’s new India list with nine projects in total across all fields . That’s thanks to five licensed films that will premiere in theaters first, before streaming exclusively on Prime Video. The other four are originals, including the returning Mirzapur and Made in Heaven, alongside new series Dahaad with Sonakshi Sinha and Bambai Meri Jaan with Kay Kay Menon. Other major production houses include Yash Raj Films (five films, all licensed), Johar’s Dharma (two originals, three licensed), Abundantia Entertainment (two originals and two co-productions) and Raj & DK’s D2R Films (three originals ).

This is the biggest slate announced by Amazon in one go since India, and there will no doubt be more reveals over the next couple of years. At her “Prime Video Presents India” event on Thursday in Mumbai, Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke said it was part of her effort to double down on investment in local content production from India over the course of of the next five years. However, no concert investment figures were provided. In early 2020, when Amazon founder and then-CEO Jeff Bezos visited India, he essentially said the same thing – that Amazon had “made the decision to double down on our Prime Video investments here in India “.

Among the 58 Indian titles coming to Prime Video, there are 35 series and 23 movies. If you had to break it down further, Amazon announced 18 new original scripted series and four documentary series. Additionally, it renewed three ongoing scripted series and gave us a first look or provided more details for six recurring series and four new series. On the film side, there are 17 licensed films from YRF and Excel Media (five each, as I said before), Ajay Devgn FFilms (four films) and Dharma (three). That leaves six films, including five new announcements, as well as a first look at Ram Setu, directed by Akshay Kumar.

That’s a lot to analyze, so we’ve broken it all down into neat lists below that you can quickly analyze.
