It was the fourth most searched show on Google in 2018, said China Internet Report 2019. The report however does not reveal any details about the viewership of the show in the country. The show was also declared as the ninth most searched keyword in India and fourth most searched show in the world, in Google Trends 2018. Motu Patlu is a classic Indian cartoon series on the same lines as Laurel and Hardy.

Interestingly, show is geo-blocked on Youtube. Anish Mehta, CEO Cosmos Maya, had earlier said that the show is their biggest property and they look forward to more viewership in 2019.

Infact, the series’ 21 short Youtube videos have grossed 22 million viewers. And its ‘local’ flavour is the reason for its success. “The content is authentically Indian. The setting is rural India. The stories and characters are local. The more authentically local the show is, the better it travels,” Ted Sarandos chief content officer of Netflix told Business Insider India. If the trend continues, Indian cartoons might give a tough competition to their Japanese counterparts. For decades, Japanese cartoons and characters like Shin Chan, Doraemon, Pokemon and Ninja Hattori have been capturing the minds of children around the world, telling authentic Asian stories. Now, it could be the time for Indian toons.

Motu Patlu cartoon was the fourth most searched show on Google in 2018 in China.

Among the five shows to be released in 2020 are — Mai, Betaal, Bombay Begum, Messy and Masaba Masaba. This comes after it tasted success of some of its Indian content both in the country as well as abroad. The <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/nickledeons-motu-paltu-becomes-the-most-searched-show-in-china/articleshow/70228055.cms">spectacular success of Mighty Bheem</a> in particular is a good reason for Netflix to focus more on creating new shows locally. “The content is authentically Indian. The setting is rural India. The stories and characters are local. The more authentically local the show is, the better it travels,” Ted Sarandos chief content officer of Netflix told Business Insider India on June 18. All for the eyeballs Netflix had about 5% market reach in India, across platforms-- both web and mobile-- according to data from Comscore verified by Business Insider. This is largely because Netflix is the most expensive among all streaming platforms in India. The American video streaming platform has been trying to keep itself “premium” in India and hence the all it’s plans are priced more than twice of what other OTT platforms charge. The basic Netflix plan starts at ₹500 a month, whereas, <keyword id="2739840" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Hotstar">Hotstar</keyword>’s premium membership starts at ₹299 a month. Amazon’s prime membership starts from ₹129 a month — and it has a lot more to offer than just its video streaming platform. Giving in, reluctantly Netflix is eyeing to capture a bigger pie of the Indian OTT market by rolling out domestic contest. Separately, it is also reportedly testing a mobile-only plan that is estimated to be price from ₹250 onwards — half the price of it’s basic plan in India. But with the announcement of 5 new shows, Netflix seems to be hoping that content will win viewers over than just the pricing. Stars in the net Mai is a story of a 47-year-old woman who leads a double life of a don. “This is my second collaboration with Netflix after Bulbul and we are again looking to disrupt the kind of content audiences are consuming,’ said Anushka Sharma. Further it is going to launch Betaal — a story of horror incidents that occurs when a British official unleashes a zombie. Also, following the Amazon’s footsteps, Netflix is also going to roll out Bombay Begum (much similar to Prime’s Four more shots) which is going to tell the story of five urban women. Netflix today announced five new original series across a variety of genres including Young Adult, drama, thriller, horror and comedy. With deadly zombies, scary gangsters and daring friends, these incredibly diverse Indian stories are for mainstream audiences in India and around the world. Netflix’s successful shows Huma Qureshi’s Leila — released on June 14 — made headlines for being one of the few dystopian dramas in India. Further, India’s most favourite Netflix series — Sacred Games— is also said to be a big hit in India and abroad. Sacred Games brought the dark underbelly of Mumbai’s underworld. Infact, a media reported pointed that 2 out 3 people watching Sacred Games were based out of India. Netflix show Mighty Bheem, based on popular Indian show <keyword id="736069" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Chhota-Bheem">Chhota Bheem</keyword> too garnered viewers internationally. Infact, the series’ 21 short Youtube videos have grossed 22 million viewers. And its ‘local’ flavour is the reason for its success.

While Godzilla collected Rs 18 crore nett in <keyword id="3658" type="COUNTRY" weightage="100" keywordseo="India">India</keyword> in just three days and another Rs 5 crore on the first Monday as per industry estimates, all five Bollywood movies released last Friday (May 16) had a slow start at the <keyword id="827271" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Domestic-Box-Office">domestic box office</keyword> and understandably so. For one, the election euphoria is still running high but most importantly, three of the new releases – <keyword id="2218164" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="The-Xpos">The Xposé</keyword>, <keyword id="2248203" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="D-Gangs-of-Mumbai">D Gangs of Mumbai</keyword> and <keyword id="2248206" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="M3-Midsummer-Midnight-Mumbai">M3: Midsummer Midnight Mumbai</keyword> – come with an overdose of vintage masala. Other two of the lot are <keyword id="2248207" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Children-of-War-Nine-Months-to-Freedom">Children of War: Nine Months to Freedom</keyword>, set against the backdrop of <keyword id="73936" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bangladesh-liberation-war">Bangladesh Liberation War</keyword> of 1971, and an animation film for the kids, <keyword id="2248208" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Mighty-Raju-Rio-Calling">Mighty Raju – Rio Calling</keyword>, directed by <keyword id="1093861" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Rajiv-Chilaka">Rajiv Chilaka</keyword> (of Chhota Bheem fame) and <keyword id="2248210" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Anirban-Majumdar">Anirban Majumdar</keyword>. 
 
We were particularly intrigued by The Xposé, a <keyword id="2144245" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Musical-thriller">musical thriller</keyword> directed by <keyword id="304212" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ananth-Narayan-Mahadevan">Ananth Narayan Mahadevan</keyword> and starring <keyword id="8539" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Himesh-Reshammiya">Himesh Reshammiya</keyword> and <keyword id="1089543" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Yo-Yo-Honey-Singh">Yo Yo Honey Singh</keyword>, along with debutantes <keyword id="90343" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Sonali-Raut">Sonali Raut</keyword> and <keyword id="1273210" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Zoya-Afroz">Zoya Afroz</keyword> (<keyword id="2993" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Miss-India">Miss India</keyword> 2013 second runner-up).

 Although the movie hit about 1,000-plus screens worldwide, business had been slow and debut day collections at the domestic <keyword id="25892" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="box-office">box office</keyword> amounted to Rs 2.97 crore nett, as per industry estimates. But the masala entertainer witnessed a decent traction during the first weekend and picked up around Rs 10.97 crore after the first three days. “The Xpose Fri 2.97 cr, Sat 3.43 cr, Sun 4.57 cr. Total: Rs 10.97 cr nett. India biz,” trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted. 
 
Although trade figure puts it to Rs 8.22 crore nett over the first three days, Xposé is a middle-budget movie, costing around Rs 15 crore (production and promotion combined), and according to a statement by producers, they claim to have recovered close to Rs 12.5 crore from the sale of satellite, music, home and overseas video, and other rights, and are profitable post the weekend. This means most of the revenues earned from the theatrical releases will be add to the film’s profit. Collections on the crucial Monday did not disappoint either and stood at around Rs 3.5 crore, as per industry estimates. 
 
Xposé may do even better at the box office, thanks to the thrill factor, although there are too many things happening at the same time and the coherence gets lost, especially in the second half. “It’s a fascinating subject. Right from verbal duels between rivals, to hiring black marketeers to sabotage others’ films, everything has been depicted,” <keyword id="303" type="POSITION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Director">director</keyword> <keyword id="68758" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="ananth-mahadevan">Ananth Mahadevan</keyword> told the Times of India (he himself plays a director in the movie). “The audience will have fun guessing which stars have inspired the sequences.”

In other words, D Gangs reminds you of The Great Gatsby, but the box office reception has been extremely poor – around Rs 65 lakh on the opening day and a little over Rs 2 crore after the first three day. And fourth day collection dipped further to a paltry Rs 40 lakh.

But in spite of funny cops, paranormal touch, ‘hot’ love scenes and unpredictable twists and turns, this flick didn’t sizzle at the domestic box office and managed a paltry Rs 70 lakh on the opening day. Total collections after the first three days amounted to Rs 2.25 crore, again putting a big question mark as to the fate of the movie. First Monday collections were no better and amounted to just Rs 56 lakh.

<ul><li>The global streaming giant Netflix has just launched its Hindi-language interface in India. </li><li>Netflix localisation card may be coming in a little late with its primary competitor, <keyword id="2976376" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Amazon-Prime-Video">Amazon Prime Video</keyword>, who launched Hindi user-interface nearly two years ago. </li><li>Netflix continues to lag behind Hotstar, JioTV, and Amazon Prime Video when it comes to capturing the market share in India. </li></ul>Netflix may have a fine collection of original Hindi content, like the record-breaking Sacred Games, but you still needed to know English to make your way around the platform. In a move to expand its footprint and reach a bigger audience, the video streaming behemoth is now eliminating the language barrier by launching a Hindi user interface. But it has come about two years too late.One of Netflix’s primary competitor’s in the India market, Amazon Prime Video, introduced its Hindi user interface way back in 2018, as did JioTV when launched in 2019. Surprisingly, homegrown Hotstar, which has the most amount of Hindi content, does not offer a Hindi-language interface. But that hasn’t stood in the way of its success. Hotstar has captured nearly one-third of the market share in India, followed by JioTV. Global companies lag with Amazon Prime Video at 10% of the market share in India and Netflix only at 5%. <div type="image" title="snapshot-1596801651366" msid="77414297" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;India&amp;#39;s OTT market share among video streaming apps&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Netflix may not be able to boast about numbers, but its exclusive content generation does set it apart from the crowd. After the success of Sacred Games, Netflix has been doubling down on its bet in India with indie films like Bulbbul, Choked: Paisa Bolta Hai, and Mighty Little Bheem. Next week on August 12, the video streaming platform is set to release another 17 new titles, including Ludo, A Suitable Boy, and the much-awaited movie Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl. Pricing continues to be a pain point Other than language, the other main barrier for Netflix in India has been its subscription price point, which is relatively higher than its competitors. It already tried to address the issue by launching a ₹199 per month mobile-only subscription. It’s also reportedly working on a new ₹347 per month plan for all devices, not just mobiles. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none; width: 468pt; table-layout: fixed;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Platform </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Monthly subscription rate </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Netflix </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">₹ 199 mobile-only (₹499 for single screen across all devices) </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Amazon </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">₹ 129 </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Hotstar </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">₹ 299 single screen </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">JioTV </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">NA — comes bundled with JioFiber </td></tr></tbody></table> In comparison to Netflix’s current basic monthly subscription at ₹499 for a single screen, the new plan will be 30% cheaper. Even then it won’t be as cheap as Amazon Prime Video’s ₹129 per month subscription of Hotstar's ₹299 monthly rate. With the price-conscious Indian consumer, it’s too early to say if adding the appeal of localisation will be enough to get more users onboard.
