Streaming in June 2021: From The Family Man 2 to Sunflower; A list of Hindi films & web series coming on OTT

Cinema chains across the country are shut more or less for over a year now. Theaters were allowed to open at the beginning of this year but due to a lump in the ticket counts, many Hindi films were not able to make a mark on the box office. Streaming is what driving the content force pretty much around the world now. Some mighty popular films like Toofan were supposed to hit the streaming but the makers backed off considering the sensitivity of the times and chose not to celebrate the film’s release. Several massive projects like Sooryavanshi, 83, and Brahmastra don’t have a theatrical release date yet considering the uncertainty of times. So, here’s a list of all that will keep you binging from the comfort of home.
