Online Movie Rental in India


The online DVD movie rental business in India is on the verge of taking off.
There are several online DVD rental services in India, all running their own delivery systems and logistics.

So lets get started with these sites. India's first online DVD movie rental service Clixflix started in 2004, and was followed by several others like MovieMart, Homeview.In, Madhouse, SeventyMM, CineSprite, CatchFlix and LazyGenie, ... (phew !! I know !!) in no particular order.

Lets start with ClixFlix.com -- It covers the whole of Mumbai and has 7000 members. It offers a choice of 6000 Blockbuster movie titles and its monthly charges are Rs 399 for 6 DVDs or Rs 799 for unlimited nos.

Then comes the SeventyMM.com -- this startup has commenced operations in March 2006. It has raised Rs 100MN in seed funding from Draper Fischer and is unarguably, the best positioned amongst the current lot, to scale operations nationally. At present, it covers only Bangalore. It offers 10,000 titles in nine Indian languages (including English).

Even though it started last year March, its getting the highest traffic (data from Alexa.com) among all these other websites. Good marketing sure can do wonders !!
