With the dawn of the high-speed internet, online streaming services have become the go-to method for users to watch their favourite movies and TV shows. Gone are the times when people would wait in long queues to watch a film or browse hundreds of websites for torrents. Convenience is the strongest suit of over-the-air streaming services. Whether you choose your favourite show on a big plasma screen or a small one while travelling in the metro, these services have made it possible, at a low premium. What’s more, the content available isn’t restricted to a single language either and has something to suit everyone’s taste, from Japanese anime to Hindi films and everything in between. So, here are some of the top services for viewing Hindi movies online:
Hotstar
What started as a small collection of movies has now turned into one of the best services in the country for streaming Hindi movies online. Hotstar is a boon for all movie enthusiasts who love to watch their favourite Bollywood stars on screen. Besides offering some of the best movies and shows, Hotstar also provides a lot of content for free. If you choose to gain access to the premium content, however, you’ll have to shell out just Rs—999/year, which makes this one of the most affordable options as well. There are also many live channels to please all the sports buffs.
Voot
Voot is perhaps the best free Hindi movie streaming site that includes a lot of regional content as well. Users have the option to stream a massive collection of both old as well as new Hindi movies. Apart from Bollywood movies online, you can watch TV shows, news and short films. If you don’t wish to pay any premium, this is perhaps your best option as all the content on Voot is available for free thanks to its ads-based business model.
Zee5
For users wishing to watch Hindi movies online without the hassle of signing up, Zee5 is the option. It has an extensive collection of films, and many of them are entirely free.
You can also watch TV shows, news and other short videos on the website. The user interface is smooth, and content can be streamed without lag even at low internet speeds. If you wish to view premium content, membership plans start from Rs. 49.
Hungama Movies
This website lets you watch the first 10 minutes of a film for free at Hungama Movies after which you have the option to view the rest of the film after subscription. The collection of Bollywood movies online on Hungama is quite vast and includes old as well as new films. The premium subscription starts at Rs. 199/mo.
Netflix
This list wouldn’t be complete without the inclusion of Netflix, one of the most successful online streaming services. Netflix has the advantage of offering exclusive movies and shows, many of which have gone on to win several accolades. If the quality of content is your top priority, and you don’t mind paying a premium, Netflix is the one for you. There’s also the option of streaming content in 4k.
