The streamer has made a film about the lockdown in India due to COVID-19 pandemic. Titled, Home Stories, the movie will feature four short stories featuring Arjun Mathur, Apoorva Arora, Veer Rajwant Singh, Imaad Shah, Saba Azad, and Tanmay Dhanania. Now, there are two very interesting things about this film apart from being set during the lockdown.

Now, coming to Netflix's decision to launch the film online. As per a report, video streaming in India is touted to become a market worth $5 Bn by 2023. Of course, anyone would want to tap into this potential. Netflix's plans in India are not exactly pocket friendly. There is an economical mobile-only plan to attract the audience. So, all this is part of a grand scheme to make the best out of the Indian market.
