Mumbai: Magicbricks announced its collaboration with OTT major, Amazon Prime Video, for the release of the latest Bollywood flick Gulabo Sitabo, starring Ayushmann Khurana, Magicbricks’ brand ambassador, and the legendary Amitabh Bachchan. This unique partnership marks the first-ever release of a film on an OTT platform, thereby creating history and charting a new normal in the Indian entertainment space. The collaboration would enable both Magicbricks and Amazon Prime Video to leverage interesting and intriguing content across their respective social media platforms.
The much-awaited movie that has already created conversations galore across social media spaces presents a quirky slice of life where Mirza, the landlord, enacted by Amitabh Bachchan and the tenant, Baankey, essayed by Ayushmann Khurana lit up the screens with their sweet and sour relationship, besides bringing alive a motley mix of unique issues and challenges between landlords and tenants. Magicbricks leverages the film’s storyline as it aptly fits the bill with its unmatched ability to enable property seekers in their journey towards their dream home. Be it a wide range of options or sheer credibility and transparency, Magicbricks brings Insanity into a space that has for long been labeled with lack of it. Ayushmann Khurrana endorsing Magicbricks, with his character in the movie being a struggling tenant sets the context right for Magicbricks.

We are extremely delighted to partner with Amazon Prime Video for the first-ever OTT launch of a movie.
