Bollywood fans are about to get a new way to enjoy their favorite films—by playing them. Global mini-game platform PlaysOut has joined forces with Eros Now, one of India’s biggest entertainment companies, to transform iconic movies and characters into interactive, mobile-friendly games.
The two companies plan to blend Bollywood’s storytelling with PlaysOut’s mobile-first gaming technology, letting audiences step directly into the action. It’s an approach that moves beyond traditional viewing and into a more immersive, participatory experience.

By embedding these games directly into Eros Now’s app, fans won’t have to leave the platform to play. This integration is part of what the companies are calling the “Eros IP Mini-Game Matrix,” a hub where users can revisit classic moments and explore new story twists—only this time, with control in their hands.
Jassem Osseiran, co-founder of PlaysOut, believes the shift is part of a bigger industry change. “Fans no longer just watch. They play. They explore. They engage. That’s the future we’re building with Eros Now,” he said.
The project also comes at a time when India’s mini-game market is booming, with annual growth projected at over 20%. By tapping into that momentum, PlaysOut and Eros Now are positioning themselves to capture both local and global attention.
Industry watchers say the combination makes sense. Bollywood’s reach is massive, and when paired with a gaming format that is lightweight, easy to access, and designed for repeat play, it creates new ways to connect with audiences who crave interactive entertainment.
PlaysOut’s technology is built to scale, which means more films, more characters, and potentially entire cinematic universes could become playable worlds in the future. For Eros Now, it’s also a way to extend the life and cultural impact of its IP beyond streaming, bringing fans back again and again for new experiences.
With this partnership, Bollywood isn’t just on screen anymore—it’s in your pocket, ready to be played anytime, anywhere.
