The stunning tie-up between ZEE5 and Sony has scored its first home run – in the form of the new Spider-Man movie, ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’! The film is easily one of the most keenly awaited one on OTT in India. Twitter is full of queries from Spider-Man fans, asking where and when will Spider-Man: No Way Home arrive on OTT.

Religious followers of Binged will know that Netflix has a deal with Sony Pictures wherein all Sony Pictures films will stream on Netflix first.

But looks like all deals in India play according to different tunes. Here, the merger of ZEE5 and Sony Pictures takes precedence over all else. Spider-Man: No Way Home will thus stream on ZEE5 in India, and very soon!
ZEE5 has all but confirmed the news, with an enigmatic coming soon post on Twitter today. Check it out –
If things continue in a similar vein, it won’t be long before ZEE5 and SonyLIV beat behemoths Netflix, Prime Video and Disney Plus Hotstar, to become the leading OTT platforms in India. Sooner or later. It is a foregone conclusion.
