Mohammed Hussain, a Mumbai-based stand-up comedian and writer, is celebrated for his engaging storytelling and observational humor, delivered in Hindi with a blend of anecdotal and dark comedy. Born in Karnataka to a Gujarati family, Hussain has been a staple in India’s comedy circuit since 2017, collaborating with giants like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hotstar on sketches, live shows, and promotional campaigns. His YouTube channel, Officiallysane, showcases his stand-up performances, including viral bits like his humorous take on trekking to Everest Base Camp. In 2023, Hussain launched his solo show Shaadi Shud I?, a witty exploration of marriage and relationships inspired by his own journey—engaged at 19 and married at 25 after a nine-year relationship. Expanding his creative range, he joined comedians Mohammed Anas and Vineeth Srinivasan in September 2024 for Reel-ing It In!, a live sketch and parody experiment. Beyond comedy, Hussain’s three-year stints as Zee Entertainment’s Assistant Sales Manager and a scriptwriter at Insider.in highlight his versatility. In a candid 2021 interview with National Herald, he voiced concerns over India’s socio-political climate impacting artistic freedom, even contemplating a move to Canada. Addressing fan queries, Hussain humorously tackles topics like Ramzan’s patience paradox, intra-community dynamics (referencing unedited YouTube cuts), potential collaborations with his wife beyond reels, and modern arranged marriage advice—playfully nodding to peer Mohammed Anas’ role as a “Vijaykar” (matchmaker). With sharp wit and relatable narratives, Hussain continues to push boundaries, making him a must-watch in India’s evolving comedy landscape. Explore his work for laughs, insights, and a fresh take on life’s absurdities!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

About a month ago, news broke about Reliance's plans to merge Disney+ Hotstar with JioCinema after their Star-Viacom18 merger. While the merger is pending approvals from the Competition Commission of India, data from Google Play Store data shows Disney+ Hotstar had over 500 million downloads while JioCinema had over 100 million downloads.While the idea makes sense from a consumer's perspective who has to deal with too many subscriptions and too many choices, things don't quite add up from a strategic perspective for Reliance.Tune in.DAYBREAK UNWIND RECOMMENDATIONS for "favourite murder mystery."Snigdha: We Have Always Lived in The Castle by Shirley JacksonRahel: Nancy Drew by Carolyn Keene (The Phantom of Venice)Devansh: Blood on the Tracks by Shūzō OshimiVenkat: Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya, 2019 (movie)Vaidehi: Glass Onion: A Knives Out MysteryRohith: Jane Jaan, 2023 (movie)Ashish: Sharp Objects by Gillian FlynnHari: Dial M for MurderDaybreak is now on WhatsApp at +918971108379.

In this episode, Sanjeet and Amartya welcome Devi (@film.trance) back to talk about two new Malayalam movies recently released on OTT: Jithu Madhavan's high-voltage action-comedy "Aavesham" (on Amazon Prime Video) and Girish AD's tender rom-com-drama "Premalu" (on Hotstar). Both films serve up narratives that are largely popular in the Indian cinematic landscape but feel unique because their screenplays are shaped by rich characterizations, not elaborate plots. In "Aavesham," Fahadh Faasil's electric performance lights up the screen; "Premalu" is a carefree, almost experiential story of burgeoning youthful love. Interestingly, both films are produced by Faasil. We discuss how his productions' stamp on contemporary Malayalam cinema makes them feel refreshingly unique.

Disney+ Loses 1.3 Million Subscribers After Price Increases More Than 25 Percent

Real News Now Podcast

Disney enthusiasts worldwide, feeling the pinch of rising costs, have been increasingly opting out of the favorite family streaming service, Disney+. Over the final quarter of 2023, the platform experienced a significant subscriber leakage of 1.3 million users globally, largely attributed to a substantial surge in subscription fees. A closer look at the North American market reveals a concerning picture. With over 400,000 Disney+ consumers departing from the platform, this period registered the highest ever domestic churn rate since its inception. The scenario marks a serious setback for the media giant, which had been channeling billions into expanding its streaming services, hoping to turn a profit. Disney+, only four years in operation, has seen its domestic subscriber count stuck at approximately 46 million for the last year. For a fairly new venturer in the streaming market, this stagnation in customer figures create a significant concern. Disney raised the service's monthly charges recently, from $10.99, hitting $13.99 - a sharp 27 percent escalation. This follows an earlier price adjustment in 2022, when the cost rose to $10.99 from the initial $7.99. Hence, Disney+ subscribers have experienced their monthly expenditure increasing by a whopping 75 percent in under two years. The new pricing system was fully put into effect as of October. In an industry-wide strategy, Disney is nudging its loyal users towards its ad-supported model, priced at $7.99 - the previous cost of a Disney+ ad-free subscription. It certainly makes financial sense for the studios. The revenues produced by commercials, layered atop of the regular subscription fees, provide a significant boost to their earnings. Even after the recent hit, Disney+ continues to command a noteworthy count of 111.3 million users globally, barring HotStar patrons residing in India. Yet, the media service remains at a significant distance from Netflix, the frontrunner in the sector, flaunting around 260 million customers. In an announcement made on Wednesday, Disney revealed that the final quarter of 2023 engulfed the company in a $216 million loss across its streaming platforms including Hulu, alongside Disney+. The financial downturn, however, shows signs of abatement in comparison to previous quarters, where losses exceeded a billion dollars. The year 2023 wrapped up on a sour note for Disney. With an unusual number of box-office underperformances and persisting trials in the streaming sector, the entertainment behemoth was unable to bounce back from a challenging 2022. The year 2023 also witnessed an immense trim in the staff at Disney, shedding a monumental 7,000 positions across its global workforce. The sweeping layoffs point towards an attempt by the company to stabilize its financial base amidst its turbulent times. Despite these setbacks, Disney has shown resilience. In the face of fluctuating economic conditions and increased market competition, the company is actively investing in strategies to increase cost-effectiveness and customer retention. Countering the recent subscriber exodus, Disney is carving a new path to cater to its diverse customer base. Its shifted focus towards a more ad-funded model suggests a strategic maneuver to balance customer affordability and company profitability. Armed with its vast library of diverse content, the entertainment juggernaut remains a prime player in the streaming landscape. Despite the troubling subscriber numbers in the short term, long-term potential still remains robust, with an aim to attract new users and reactivate past subscribers. The streaming giant's current approach showcases its ability to navigate rough waters and strategize accordingly. Consequently, by repackages its subscription models and adding a user-friendly ad-supported format, Disney aims to ensure its stronghold in the digital streaming industry. The road ahead will be challenging, but if any entity has the historical resilience and creative prowess to pivot successfully in the face of adversity, it's Disney. As it ambitiously grapples with these challenges, Disney is intensely focused on retaining its spot in the fiercely competitive entertainment industry.

Ever since, Sony Liv's subscriber base grew from 18 million to over 33 million.With good original stories and unique non-fiction shows, alongside a strong partnerships strategy, Sony has been able to close the gap on market leaders such as Hotstar. Zee meanwhile has a formidable arsenal of regional content.The combined strengths of the two platforms, Sony and Zee, could turn out to be a serious threat to other OTT giants.

On October 14, a Saturday, Disney Hotstar set a world record: it saw the highest number of simultaneous viewers tune in for any format of cricket ever. The ICC World Cup match between India and Pakistan was streaming and it drew in 35 million viewers.A week later, on Sunday, it broke that record too with the India-New Zealand match when 43 million viewers tuned in. The timing of this couldn't be better for the OTT giant which lost 21 million subscribers since last year when it lost the rights to IPL. Ever since Disney Hotstar executives in India were on a mission to prove to their California headquarters that its OTT business in India could be turned around. But just a day later after hitting 43 million viewers, on October 23, Bloomberg reported Walt Disney may sell a controlling stake in the Disney Star business to Reliance Industries. While nothing about the deal is final yet, it does make one wonder about the timing of it all.What is in this deal for Reliance and more importantly is it enough for Disney to hold on to Hotstar for now?Tune in to find out.RecommendationDisney+ Hotstar's last danceDaybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

In The New Screen Ecology in India: Digital Transformation of Media (British Film Institute, 2023), Smith Mehta takes a deep dive into the world of social media platforms and their impact on contemporary film and television production, arguing that they have fundamentally shifted the creator dynamics of these industries. Through first-hand research with creators, platform and portal executives, and intermediaries such as talent agents and multi-channel networks, Mehta develops the concept of the 'new screen ecology'. He reveals how the Indian screen industries are affected by the social relations between these agents and how industrial practices are blurring the amateur-professional divide through creator and content interdependencies. Mehta goes beyond theoretical analysis by interrogating the production practices of 13 different platforms and portals, including Hotstar, Netflix, YouTube, and TVFPlay. He analyses the extent to which they benefit from the lack of censorship and restrictive industrial practices that are characteristic of traditional media structures. By doing so, he provides a unique and insightful examination of the dynamics of digital transformation in the screen industries in a region-specific context.
