| India, meet the least expensive on-demand video streaming | |
| service you've ever seen. | |
| Ahead of its media event scheduled for later today, Amazon Prime | |
| Video service has gone live in India. The video streaming | |
| service is now listed on India's Google Play Store and Apple App | |
| Store, and supports Amazon India credentials for login. | |
| Amazon Prime Video service is part of its Prime subscription | |
| service in India. Amazon Prime was launched in India earlier | |
| this year and costs Rs 999 ($15) for a year-long subscription. | |
| As part of an introductory offer, Indians can avail the yearly | |
| Prime subscription at Rs 499 ($7.5). | |
| This has made Prime Video the least expensive video streaming | |
| service in India, far cheaper than the offering of Netflix, | |
| which charges at least Rs 500 per month for its service. Amazon | |
| hasn't announced how long it will offer Prime subscription at | |
| the discounted price in India, though the introductory offer is | |
| available today. | |
| Amazon was on a spree lately in India to acquire local content. | |
| Its partnership with major Indian Bollywood studios and | |
| distributors including Vishesh Films, Dharma Productions and | |
| T-Series for exclusive rights for a major chunk of their | |
| respective titles is visible in the catalog. | |
| Several new Bollywood titles including Kabali, Sultan, and | |
| Sabarji are available with Prime Video. Amazon has also scored | |
| several exclusive titles such as Dil Dhadkne Do, Shaandaar, Rock | |
| On!!, Talaash, Yeh Jawani Hai Diwani that were previously | |
| unavailable on any streaming service. | |
| And of course, there's a mammoth of Hollywood content. Classic | |
| titles such as The Godfather, War of the World, Saving Private | |
| Ryan, as well as new titles such as Mission Impossible: Rogue | |
| Nation and Terminator Genisys are available. | |
| Amazon Original Series such as Jeremy Clarkson's new motoring | |
| show The Grand Tour, as well as award winning shows Transparent, | |
| Bosch, Mozart in the Jungle, and Red Oaks are available. Other | |
| popular TV shows such as Seinfeld, Fringe, Person of Interest, | |
| Two and a Half Man, Dexter, Mad Men, NCIS, and Californication | |
| are available too. More interestingly, many of these shows are | |
| offering subtitles in Indian local languages. | |
| Apart from a wider list of titles, Amazon Prime Video is also | |
| offering users the ability to download videos and view them | |
| offline. Last month Netflix too launched the download to view | |
| offline feature but we found out there were only limited titles | |
| available for download. | |
