From some freshly brewed content to the return of some widely loved series,Dharmatic Entertainment has a busy year ahead.
Mumbai, 3rd March, 2021: Dharmatic Entertainment is all set to unleash 5 new web
shows/films for Netflix audiences across the world. With a successful collaboration in
the past with Netflix in fiction (Guilty starring Kiara Advani) and in non-fiction (The
Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives), Dharmatic Entertainment, the digital arm of
Dharma Productions, is all set to entertain the audience with a buffet of tasteful & fresh
OTT content.
Dharmatic is looking to release 5 diverse new properties:
Fiction :
Dharmatic dives into the world of anthologies with its first one titled Ajeeb Daastaans,
which brings together four Dharma directors from diverse backgrounds. Shashank
Khaitan, Raj Mehta, Neeraj Ghaywan & Kayoze Irani come together to explore complex
human emotions in these wicked and twisted short films. The star cast includes Jaideep
Ahlawat and Fatima Sana Shaikh (Majnu), Nushhratt Bharuccha and Abhishek
Banerjee (Khilauna), Konkona Sen Sharma and Aditi Rao Hydari (Geeli Pucchi), Shefali
Shah and Manav Kaul (Geeli Pucchi).
When Shakespeare famously asked “what’s in a name?” he couldn’t have imagined that
the answer someday would be Meenakshi Sundareshwar! Starring Sanya Malhotra
and Abhimanyu Dassani, the film is set in Madurai, and explores young romance which
begins where most love stories end. Directed by debutant Vivek Soni, the film has
music by Justin Prabhakaran.
Dharmatic is also excited to bring to audiences Madhuri Dixit Nene’s much talked about
OTT debut! Her first show, Finding Anamika, is an intriguing family drama set in the
world of showbiz. Written by Sri Rao, directed by Bejoy Nambiar and Karishma Kohli,
expect to see Madhuri Dixit Nene as you have never seen her before.
Non-Fiction :
In Searching for Sheela, we see Ma Anand Sheela, former close aide of Osho return
to her home country after 35 years away and the release of the Netflix documentary
series Wild, Wild Country. This thoughtful documentary explores whether she returns as
a conquering pop culture icon or a ‘criminal’ still up for scrutiny.
Diving into the lives of those much talked about wives yet again, The Fabulous Lives
of Bollywood Wives will return for a second season with even more drama, even more
glamour and some surprising new twists. Maheep Kapoor, Seema Khan, Neelam
Kothari Soni and Bhavana Pandey will be back, more fabulous than ever!
Dharmatic is excited to open 2021 with new stories, new characters and new
adventures to keep the popcorn coming for millions of Netflix users.
Release dates for shows to be announced soon.
