OTT Lovers May Not Like These Shivaji Comments
Shivaji feels that the real experience of cinema comes from watching it on the big screen.
By: Priya Chowdhary Nuthalapti | 4 Sept 2026 9:25 AM ISTActor Shivaji has made interesting comments about watching movies on OTT platforms. His remarks about OTT and the experience of watching films in theatres have now attracted attention among movie lovers.
Shivaji said that watching a movie on OTT is very different from watching it in a theatre. He said that OTT has become a convenient option for people who have a lot of free time or prefer staying at home. People can watch movies whenever they want without going outside. They can also pause the movie, take breaks and continue watching later.
Shivaji feels that the real experience of cinema comes from watching it on the big screen. He added that cinema is not just about watching a story. It is also about enjoying the atmosphere, sound, visuals and emotions created by the film.
He said that a good movie can make people forget everything around them for some time. The theatre environment plays an important role in creating this feeling. The big screen, powerful sound and audience reactions together can make the movie more exciting.
Shivaji also said that watching a movie at home cannot always give the same feeling as watching it in a theatre. Even if people watch the same film on a television or mobile phone, the experience may not be equal to the theatrical experience.
He believes that the excitement of watching a movie in a theatre is something special. The reactions of the audience, the sound system and the big screen can give viewers a different kind of energy. This is why many movie fans still prefer theatres even though OTT platforms have become very popular.
At the same time, OTT platforms have changed the way people watch movies. They offer convenience and allow viewers to watch films from the comfort of their homes. However, Shivaji's comments highlight the difference between convenience and the traditional cinema experience.
