Amitabh Bachchan’s ‘Gulabo Sitabo’ Bows on Amazon Prime as India Embraces Streaming Era

You're getting toilet paper and baker's yeast delivered to your house during the pandemic, why not get some entertainment delivered by Amazon while you're at it? Only this doesn't come in a box that you have to spray down with Lysol every time it arrives on your doorstep, your neighborhood bandits can't steal it, and you can feel a little less guilty that a warehouse worker didn't risk their life to get it to you.

The streaming services are attempting to make the best of this pandemic situation. With people stuck inside and production on films and TV series seemingly on hold, for the time being, streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV+, Disney+, and Amazon are doing everything in their power to make sure they have content to push out to the masses.

Amazon Prime Video is providing even more options for what to watch during the summer of quarantine by adding even more shows and movies to its library. This June on Prime is all about movies, with buzzy recent movies like the blockbuster mystery comedy-thriller Knives Out (June 12), gator horror flick Crawl (June 18), and the controversial Daniel Radcliffe-led action movie Guns Akimbo (June 27) coming online, along with classics like Dirty Dancing and The Natural (June 1).  

At the end of a long day, there’s nothing quite like curling up on the couch and diving into a show with enough episodes to get you through the rest of the tiring week. While countless streaming platforms attempt to entice audiences with binge-worthy originals and classic favorites, few have as many surprising gems as Amazon Prime Video.

How are we all doing on the series front?

As in many other countries around the world, India's cinema industry faces an uncertain and precarious future as a result of lockdowns caused by the novel coronavirus pandemic. India's estimated 9,500 screens have been shut for over two months now and with the lockdown still in effect, there is no clear picture as to when cinemas will reopen.

If you're not out making the most of your now-unlimited daily exercise allowance, why not make the most of the latest releases on these go-to services?
