However, there are those who are in need of an alternative option that will enable them to experience all the feels of watching a movie and be satisfied by it.

"We are now contending with a fickle-minded audience. The pandemic has given birth to an abundance of content and through the advent of OTT platform services, viewers are now spoilt for choice; where to watch; and when to watch. By offering a more diverse line-up of movies, we hope to provide a free TV alternative for everyone," he added.
