MUMBAI:
Video on demand service Mela has acquired the streaming
service rights of Sujoy Ghosh's Kahaani.
The
film will start airing on the service from 20 April.
“Mela is thrilled to announce that we have acquired
non-exclusive online rights to the hugely successful
and highly popular recent Bollywood hit, Kahaani. The
film's release on Mela comes a month after its theatrical
premiere in India. We will provide distribution of the
film on the Mela Movies iPad App and Roku channel starting
20 April,” the company said.
The
Sujoy Ghosh-directed film stars Vidya Balan as a 7-month
pregnant woman who travels to Kolkata in search of
her missing husband only to find that everyone she
asks his information from claim that no such person
exists. The film received instant public and critical
acclaim upon its theatrical release on 9 March collecting
praise for its cinematography, originality, screenplay,
and performances.
Kahaani
arrives on the heels of last year's hit The Dirty
Picture that earned Vidya Balan the best actress Filmfare
award.
Mela's services are available worldwide.
