The Amazon Prime was launched in July this year. Since then the Amazon Prime Video has been of huge interests. This is the company’s video on demand streaming service. Now the Prime Video apps are available on Android and iOS. One can start using the application if he is already subscribed to Amazon Prime.
If a person has an android phone and has installed and signed in to Amazon app, it is not necessary to sign in to the video app too. It only needs installation and then one can easily watch in the app. The company has not officially released the statement that Amazon Prime Video is combined with Amazon Prime subscription. Due to this Amazon Prime Video has become the cheapest video streaming service. One has many options to watch, even the award winning original shows.
Currently, Prime can be subscribed at ₹499 per year. The full price happens to be ₹999 per year but it is not sure when will this price will be put into effect. The present rate for Amazon Prime Video is ₹50 per month and the full price is ₹100 per month. Compared to Netflix and Hotstar, this is very less. Netflix charges ₹650 monthly while that of Hotstar is ₹190. The Indian Amazon prime account can also be used in other countries for watching Prime Videos.
The users will then get a variety of options to watch for that particular country. Even though the user will have an Indian account of only ₹499, the entire US catalogue of Amazon prime Video can be accessed even though the latter is costlier.
With the Prime Video service, Amazon is competing with IPL for streaming rights. Amazon has tied up with Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and Arka Mediaworks SS Rajamouli for Prime Video. As Amazons Prime Video app has gone alive, they have focused between Hindi movies and their original ones on equal grounds.
Movies like Sultan, Kabali and Raaz are in the top scrolls, while Supernatural and the Man in the High Castle are also available. Usually Amazon picks those shows that feel low in Netflix. For example, Broke Girls and Mike and Molly. Good Wife and Elementary are common in both of them.
Amazon Prime Video has the chance of a tough competition due to price and content and also because many other occupants have crowded the market. Amazon is trying to be more imploring in the country by focusing more on local content than Netflix. The Prime Video will bring an impact on other streaming services and also a platform for competition in the e-commerce company against the local rivals like Flipkart. The Prime Video has brought access to those award winning original shows which could not be watched legally in the country.
