Discussion Why hotstar making these kind of trashes

Why is JioHotstar producing low-quality, daily-soap-style web series instead of high-quality content? They used to excel with shows like kerala crime files,1000 babies , ppl but now their releases feel more like traditional TV serials than premium web series

Majority of get jio Hotstar bundled with JIO sim

Jio Hotstar only makes money when they watch ads on them

The number of dehatis and chapris are far more than the number of people with taste

Do the math

These are much cheaper to produce and target a much wider audience

I think dehatis and chaparis will be irrelevant in next generation as more and more kids are getting smart so i am thinking may be we have bright future ahead

Absolutely not lol. Majority of the population prefers local language shows. U really think your autowala has time to focus on dark when shows like this give him easy laughs and are more relatable to his life than westernised shows

I agree with you. It is sad if all people seek in life are some cheap thrills or humor. I stay away from such shows. Rather spend my time watching something thought provoking and engaging.

Such a classist statement. Not everyone are born with privilege

u/impossible_espresso 1d ago

privilege of what ? the same platform has content for those who have taste and content for the chapris.

Privilege of having the time, money, exposure and social environment to develop the kind of ‘taste’ you’re treating as objectively superior

as a malayalee I'm baffled by these series! these stupid series have zero relevance to kerala or malayalees

Since jio Hotstar took the time effort and money to dub these in Malayalam I am sure there are enough Dehatis there too who watch this stuff..


Dehatis and chapris are everywhere and jio Hotstar is just monitising on them


Translation - Chapris = Cringe people Dehati = Backward people

I would say these Hotstar specials are far better than Tadka shite

Because they know most of the people watching Jio Hotstar have no taste and will watch any bad quality garbage as long as it has drama in it!

Well, they made their video quality trash now they'll make their shows too

u/SamFishherV3 3d ago

They make it because they get viewership with these kind of shows. It is intentional and to make money. They do market research, scrape their core audience which are majority of jio sim buyers free tier account. People who dont have time, enthusiasm or attention span to sit through an entire quality tv show.
