Chhath is a culturally rooted, family-driven Bhojpuri feature film that premiered on 24th October 2025 on Waves OTT. Directed by National Award winning filmmaker Nitin Neera Chandra and produced by iconic actress Neetu Chandra Srivastava, the film stands as a powerful tribute to Bihar’s cultural heritage.


Shot entirely in Bihar, Chhath stars Shashie Verma (Govind), Deepak Singh (Mohit), and Meghana Panchal (Nilanjana) in pivotal roles. Set against the sacred backdrop of Chhath Puja, the narrative unfolds within a traditional Kayastha family gathered to celebrate the festival. Beneath the rituals and festivities, simmering tensions surface when Mohit, who returns from the United States after many years, discovers that an illegal hospital has been constructed on his ancestral land. The situation escalates when he learns that the rental income has been collected by his uncle Govind without his knowledge turning a festive reunion into an intense moral and familial conflict.


Chhath is further elevated by a powerful and soulful soundtrack, featuring iconic Chhath anthems by some of India’s most revered voices Late Sharda Sinha with the timeless classic Kelwa ke Paat Par, Kailash Kher lending his spiritual depth to Hey Dinanath, and Sunidhi Chauhan bringing contemporary grace to song Chhathi Maiya making the film’s music both culturally authentic and emotionally resonant.

Upon its release, Chhath quickly surged to the #1 trending position on Waves OTT, where it remained a top chart-leader for several consecutive weeks. The film’s impact extended beyond digital success when it earned a nomination at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI), Goa, becoming one of the very first Bhojpuri films to be screened under the Indian Panorama at the 56th IFFI, a landmark achievement for regional cinema from Bihar.

For Chhath, Quanton Media was entrusted not merely as a promotional partner, but as a strategic growth consultant responsible for shaping the film’s digital journey from launch to long-term visibility. Our approach was rooted in one core belief: A culturally rich story deserves a culturally intelligent strategy.


 1. Strategic Positioning & Narrative Framing


Rather than marketing Chhath as just another regional release, we positioned it as a cultural milestone, a film that celebrates Bihar’s heritage while addressing contemporary family conflicts. This ensured emotional resonance with both regional and diaspora audiences.

2. Platform-Specific Launch Strategy


Understanding Waves OTT’s audience behavior was key. We designed a platform-first release strategy that:


• Maximized early traction

• Triggered algorithmic visibility

• Sustained viewership beyond opening-week hype


This helped Chhath organically rise to the #1 trending position and maintain its chart leadership for weeks.

3. Content & Creative Amplification


We curated and deployed high-impact creatives and narratives that aligned with:


• The ethos of Chhath Puja

• Family-driven storytelling

• Bihar’s cultural identity


Each creative asset was designed to build recall, not noise.


4. Momentum Building Beyond Release


Success doesn’t end on release day. Our post-launch strategy focused on:


• Sustaining conversations

• Reinforcing credibility through festival recognition

• Converting audience interest into long-term visibility


This consistent momentum played a crucial role in Chhath’s selection at the Indian Panorama, IFFI Goa, extending the film’s relevance far beyond OTT charts

The Outcome: Impact Beyond Numbers
