Prime Video partners with Maddock Films for new Indian movie deal

Prime Video has recently signed a multiyear movie licensing deal with Maddock Films, an Indian studio. This deal covers eight upcoming feature films from Maddock Films that will be available on the platform globally and locally across more than 240 countries and territories right after their theatrical release. Among the films included in the deal are Thama, as well as sequels to two more titles in this franchise to be announced soon, Stree 2, Param Sundari, Shiddat 2, and Badlapur 2.

Dinesh Vijan, the CEO and founder of Maddock Films, shared, “We’ve always believed in telling stories that surprise, entertain, and resonate—and in working with partners who share that belief. Prime Video has consistently championed cinema that transcends languages, geographies, and formats. From our horror-comedy universe to our most beloved franchises, our endeavor has always been to create worlds that audiences love to revisit. This strategic long-term post-theatrical licensing deal is a natural extension of our shared vision: to take Indian storytelling to a truly global stage. We’re excited that these films will now continue their journey beyond theaters on Prime Video, reaching an even wider audience across the world.”

Manish Menghani, the director and head of content licensing at Prime Video, India, added, “We are thrilled to expand our strategic collaboration with Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films to continue delivering on our promise of bringing compelling stories to audiences across the world. This multi-film slate not only builds on the unique and wildly popular horror-comedy universe and franchise sequels but also brings in a distinctive blend of creative originality and fresh storytelling that is synonymous with Maddock. We look forward to entertaining our customers with the post-theatrical premieres of some of India’s most eagerly awaited films. At Prime Video, we have consistently worked towards expanding the reach of Indian movies, not just deep within India but also globally by taking them to geographies much beyond the scope of other mediums.”
