Ratings and reviews

The subscription fee seemed high for me. There is no series which is fully free. They often keep one episode free and the rest are locked. I installed it seeing the ad on Facebook but they never told me anywhere in the ad that I need to buy a subscription. I hope, they will increase their free materials in the early stages.

What stands out is how Bengali it still feels. The silences, the conversations, the emotions..none of it feels diluted for mass appeal. It’s soothing in a way most OTT platforms have forgotten how to be. Also, the subscription price is reasonable. No overpricing. waiting for more contents.

platform 8 is very user-friendly Ott app. we are awaiting more good entertaining content like sorshe phool, payes in form of series or film. More content from regular TV shows should be uploaded. Lots of expectations here for there new release "khanikta premer mato".
