territories exclusively on Prime Video.
“We’re passionate about telling diverse and deeply resonant stories,” said Aparna Purohit, Head of India Originals, Amazon Prime Video. “Bandish Bandits is a musical romance about a young couple caught in a fusion of contrasting worlds, traditions and musical gharanas. It’s the first of its genre for Prime Video and we are thrilled to be bringing it to Prime members in India and around the world.” “Bandish Bandits has been a true labour of love and we’re pleased to be bringing it to a dynamic, global service like Prime Video, which champions unique original content from around the world,” said Amritpal Singh Bindra, Producer and Creator, Bandish Bandits.
“While elements of the show are rooted firmly in Indian tradition and values, this is without doubt a modern musical romance that will appeal to a global audience. We can’t wait to take Prime members on a journey of love, differences and discovery, led by the supremely talented Ritwik Bhowmik and Shreya Chaudhry, against a backdrop of soulful music.” “Bandish Bandits is a story about the meeting of two individuals and cultures that are in many ways different, and yet in other ways incredibly similar,” said Anand Tiwari, director, Bandish Bandits. “While each character has a unique and compelling story in their own right, it’s how these stories come together which makes this series so powerful, romantic and real.
I am beyond excited to bring this incredible tale of romance, beautifully told through the musical genius of composers Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, to Prime Video.” Bandish Bandits will join the thousands of TV shows and movies from Hollywood and Bollywood in the Prime Video catalogue.
