On 6 January 2016 the online video streaming service Netflix announced that it had launched in 130 countries, including India. If you are curious about the Netflix India service, here is everything you need to know in order to decide whether to sign up.
The Basic Details
What is Netflix?
Netflix is a US based company that provides a subscription-based Internet video service. For a fixed monthly fee, subscribers can watch as many of the videos that Netflix offers as they want.
Why is this a big deal?
Netflix is very popular in the US and it has helped change how people consume video content, shifting viewership away from broadcast and cable/DTH television to Internet streaming video, a phenomenon called "cord cutting". A year before this announcement Netflix was already available in 50 countries and had 57 million subscribers.
What kind of content does Netflix have?
Netflix offers movies, documentaries and TV shows. Netflix also has a separate Kids section offering content for children.
Where does Netflix's content come from?
Much of Netflix's content comes from the USA, but it also sources from the United Kingdom and other countries. Netflix produces its own original content and licenses content from other providers, including premium US networks like Showtime and Starz.
Does it have content from HBO?
No! Netflix and HBO consider themselves to be rivals and it doesn't look like there will be HBO content on Netflix any time soon.
Netflix India Details
Is Netflix India's content censored for nudity, language or violence?
Netflix says that its content is not altered in any way for India.
What do I need to in order to sign up?
You need an email account and, although the service is free for the first month, you must provide details of a credit card. Since many people in India do not have a credit card, this requirement may be a major hurdle to signing up.
What are the pricing plans?
Netflix India currently offers 3 plans: Basic, Standard and Premium.
| Basic | Standard | Premium | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price (Rs/month) | 500 | 650 | 800 |
| HD available | No | Yes | Yes |
| Number of streams | 1 | 2 | 4 |
The number of streams refers to how many devices can be used at the same time. For example, with a Standard plan one person could be watching on a mobile phone while the rest of the family watches something else on a connected TV.
Does Netflix India offer children's programming?
Yes, there are currently 69 movies in the Children and Family category, and 69 TV shows in the Kids section.
What devices can I use?
Netflix is available on a wide variety of devices, including mobile phones, game consoles, Smart TVs and PCs.
