Eros Now

As one of India's biggest studios, Eros International — now a subsidiary of ErosSTX — has rights to popular and critically-acclaimed Bollywood movies, but it's not in the habit of keeping them exclusive. Many of its titles are available on other more well-known platforms, and for free elsewhere.

Eros Now also has a habit of overpromising and underdelivering. It has done so repeatedly with originals, announcing a lot more and then realising only a few. It's also dragging its feet on Eros Now Prime, which is meant to have exclusive English-language shows. It was supposed to have launched earlier in 2020 but there's still no sign of it.

Price: Rs. 49 per month, Rs. 79 for three months, or Rs. 399 per year.

Content: The best movies and TV shows on Eros Now are Pather Panchali, Aparajito, A River Called Titas, Satya, Omkara, Mukkabaaz, Jalsaghar, Aligarh, Sonar Kella, Sandhesam, Padosan, and Manichitrathazhu.

Total number of titles: 1,800+

Free with: None. Limited availability with Airtel XStream, JioCinema, and a revolving list of partners.

Apps: Android, iOS, Android TV, Apple TV, Fire TV, Browser, Chromecast, and select smart TVs

Picture: No support for 4K. Claims to offer HDR but no word on supported content or devices.

Sound: Surround sound is available on all supported titles. Dolby Atmos is available on very few titles, that too only with compatible OnePlus TVs.
