Voot Select to kick off India’s first OTT-led eight-day film gala this month; Vidya Balan`s Natkhat selected for opening night

Through Vidya Balan’s character, Natkhat champions gender equality
Given that the country witnessed an OTT boom of sorts in the past 15 months, it was only a matter of time before a streaming giant would step up its game and roll out a full-fledged film festival. OTT platform Voot Select seems to have procured a first-mover advantage in this regard as it is set to launch Voot Select Film Festival, a direct-to-web curated cinematic experience. The eight-day movie gala will kick off on July 23 with the Vidya Balan-led short film, `Natkhat`, being the opening presentation.
