MUMBAI, APRIL 1
With kids enjoying a long vacation without annual exams and parents working from home following the nationwide lockdown forced by the coronavirus spread, family entertainment, and edutainment are need of the hour. Keeping all these factors, Amazon Prime Video kicks-off the month of April with the latest, exciting Indian and International titles across genres and languages, says a company release.
Starting April 3, Amazon Prime Video brings to you the mysteries of the universe with its latest 8-part sci-fi Amazon Original Series Tales from the Loop. Adding to the list of Academy Awards winners, Amazon Prime Video will also be premiering the musical-biopic film based on the life of legendary musician Sir Elton John, Rocketman on April 2. The film won an Oscar and a Golden Globe for Best Original Song and received nominations for its music across multiple major film and music awards.
Starting April 4, Prime members across 200 countries and territories can stream the much-awaited premiere of director Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s latest historical romantic drama Shikara. Starring newcomers Aadil Khan and Sadia in the lead, Shikara is the story of resilience in the face of insurmountable odds.
This week, Prime Video is set to take you on a quirky journey with Abhishek, an urban boy who takes up a job as a secretary for a rural panchayat in the upcoming series Panchayat. The eight-part comedy-drama is a classic fish out of the water story featuring a talented cast, including Jitendra Kumar (Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan) as the lead protagonist and Neena Gupta (Badhaai Ho), Raghubir Yadav (Massey Sahib) and Biswapati Sarkar as the warm yet quirky characters working at a local panchayat office. Panchayat will be available to stream globally starting April 3, exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.
Prime members will also be able to stream the digital premieres of the latest Indian titles, including Love Aaj Kal Porshu (Bengali), HIT (Telugu), Trance (Malayalam), Maya Bazaar 2016 (Kannada) and Gidarh Singhi (Punjabi) shortly after their theatrical release.
