Post the introduction of HostStar in our lives, everything changed. We now watch Live Streaming of Cricket Match on our phones and prefer watching all our favorite TV shows of Star Plus, Life Ok, Star Bangla (and all the Star Related) channels on a mobile app. After all, there’s less advertisement and we can watch these shows anytime, anywhere irrespective of what we are doing.
Post HotStar, we saw SonyLIV – a mobile app of Sony Entertainment, and now comes another Company with their own ‘Video On Demand’ Platform. Yes, I’m talking about Viacom18’s multilingual Voot!
Colors TV, MTV – TV Serials Is Available on Voot
You can watch all the MTV and Colors TV shows on Voot. Interestingly, not just the current serials, you get to watch all the past serials as well.
So, if you are eager to check what happened in Bigg Boss 7 and simply want to watch the entire series all over again, Voot obliges with the same.
Voot Offers You 6 Languages
Hindi, English, Bangla, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada – You can watch content in these 6 languages on Voot. However, you’ll have to select the language options (in Settings) to watch serials in other languages apart from English and Hindi as the content of other languages are hidden.
Voot Kids for Kids Entertainment
The Video on Demand platform has a separate section for kids. It has a range of videos of different cartoons and shows. Interestingly, Voot is not only restricted to Nick characters like Motu Patlu but also has shows based on external cartoon characters like Chhota Bheem.
There are also bedtime and folk stories for the kids. The collection section has activities for kids where they can learn about DIY, Recipes etc.
Parents can keep a pin protection for this section to ensure the children just watch the Kids content and not just any other show.
Voot Movies
The Collection of Movies are Good. You’ll find some of the latest releases too. Besides, if you are a movie buff and are always looking to see cliche movies from 90s, Voot should be your rescue. NRIs can finally relax!
Is Viacom18’s Video on Demand Platform User-Friendly?
Choose Genre to See What You want
Unlike Hotstar, you will first have to login here. Once that is done, it takes you to the platform where you have different sections. You can watch the shows based on the genres. For instance, if you hit Crime section, you’ll get 4 shows – Byomkesh, Code Red, MTV Webbed Season 1 and MTV Webbed Season 2. Drama will have all your regular serials like Swaragini, Naagin and History will have Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat. Depending on the genres, you’ll get what you want.
Add Favorites
In case, if you watch a show regularly, simply follow the show and it will come in your favorites list. This will make your life easy. You can simply select Favorites and get on to your episode directly in simply 3 or 4 clicks.
The Good Thing about Viacom18’s Mobile App
You do not have to wait for the channel to upload their serial on Youtube. You can simply watch it on Voot. However, like HotStar, the serials gets uploaded only in the morning of the next day, that means you can watch March 29th’s episode only by March 30th’s morning. But, you can be assured of the upload, as Voot will have all the episodes.
As of now (not sure about future) there is only 1 advertisement and that too in the start, this means you can watch the show peacefully without any distraction.
The Not So Good Things about Voot
When you click any episode, the platform takes time to start. However, once it gets started, it goes on and on, without any disturbance. Also, the recent episode section, though is aligned date wise, do not have Dates on it. So, if you are watching 6 – 7 episodes back to back, you’ll have to keep a tab or might have to open the videos and check for the dates. This can be troublesome if your mom is watching the shows back to back as she’ll need your help.
Overall Feeling – Finally, an On Demand Platform for Colors TV! After all, it is one of the most watched channels. Moreover, the channel usually delayed uploading episodes on Youtube.
You can download Voot from Google Play Store
