Aha appears to have been in a bad spot recently as far as its content lineup goes. The excitement created was not enough to sustain viewership. Here is one thrilling psychological drama that could give the platform the boost it needs: Criminal or Devil, which digs into the intricacies of human nature, testing the audience with a myriad of questions regarding good and evil.
But whatever is popular and licensed under South Indian content, is usually grabbed by Netflix and Prime Video. Thus, the kind of psychological block on the part of the viewer against Aha comes to stay, as they tend to believe that the films and shows that come up in the platform are not that successful or are of a not-so-high level. That is quite a tough situation for the platform to get over since the original productions and regional content form the core for surviving on this platform.
Criminal or Devil might be the new content library for Aha. Its strong cast and a promising plot full of unpredictable twists will attract viewers again to the platform. Criminal or Devil is not just Criminal or Devil, though. Aha needs to be embedded in a broader strategy of diverse and engaging content offerings. It is an extremely niche genre, and the psychological thriller itself has a cult following. It will take more than one hit to turn fortunes around for Aha.
It all lies in quality and variety. The focus of Aha will be on creating unique content to appeal to various audiences. Investments in regional content, innovative storytelling, and high production values will play a crucial role. For this, Aha also needs to listen to its viewers and adapt its offerings accordingly to the audience’s expectations.
Criminal or Devil may be the way forward for Aha but has to deliver a steady flow of content of quality to prove a proper comeback. The show’s success will perhaps ignite the much-needed flame, but sustainable growth will depend on the content that can keep viewers coming back for more. Only time will tell if Aha can regain its ground and win the hearts of its audience once again.
