The Bollywood Distribution Landscape — What Independent Artists Need to Know

Why JioSaavn and Gaana Matter More Than Spotify for Bollywood

For Hindi film music, JioSaavn is the dominant platform — it hosts India's largest Bollywood catalogue and has 150M+ active users. Gaana, owned by Times Internet, is the second most important. Any Bollywood release strategy that skips these two platforms misses the core Hindi music audience in India. Most global distributors (DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby) do not distribute to JioSaavn or Gaana. Western Beats includes both by default.

Jio Caller Tune — A Revenue Stream Unique to India

Bollywood songs are the most popular caller tunes in India. Every time a Jio subscriber sets your song as their caller tune (Hello Tune), you earn a royalty of approximately ₹1.50–₹3.00 per subscriber per month. With 450M Jio subscribers, even a fraction setting your song generates meaningful income. Western Beats distributes CRBT at no extra cost — most global distributors don't offer this at all.

Rights — What Independent Bollywood Artists Must Have

To distribute Bollywood music through Western Beats, you must own or have licensed the master recording rights and composition rights. If you wrote the music, arranged it, produced it, and recorded it — you own it. If you are a playback singer, you need a written agreement with the composer. Western Beats does not distribute music where rights are disputed. For guidance on music copyright in India, see our complete guide to music copyright India.
