In a dizzyingly crowded content space, Yoodlee Films’ first two web shows have made it to the Top 5 list of India’s most watched shows by Ormax Media. While, ‘Hunter- Tootega Nahi Todega’, an action thriller staring Suniel Shetty garnered over 2.5 million views and counting and was in the Ormax list of top five shows between March 27 and April 2, ‘United Kacche’, staring Sunil Grover, a slice-of- life comedy was in Ormax Media’s list between April 3 and April 9. Both shows belong to contrasting genres but exemplify Yoodlee’s commitment to tell inventive, creative and brave stories across formats.
Siddharth Anand Kumar – Sr. VP – Films & Events – Saregama India Ltd is understandably thrilled with the success of the shows and says, “Both ‘Hunter- Tootega Nahi Todega’ and ‘United Kacche’ are shows of completely opposite genres. We tried to do something different in both shows as we worked on them simultaneously which was a great challenge. They tell compelling stories that are entertaining and also have substance. As a production studio, we have always tried to colour outside the lines and give the audiences something unexpected and refreshing It’s really encouraging for us that both the shows have received a good response from the audience.”
