Today, entertainment has become easily accessible all thanks to a wide range of shows and movies streaming on OTT platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hotstar, Jio Cinema, Apple TV, etc. Now, you can watch anything you like at your convenience anywhere, anytime. Netflix is one such platform that has started offering a wide range of content for Indian audiences in recent times.
Although Netflix has been aggressively targeting the Indian market, it still lags behind platforms like MX Player, one of the reasons being the pricing as MX Player offers all the content for free. To lure Indian consumers, Netflix slashed the prices of its plans last year and also started a mobile-only plan for Rs. 149/month.
Here is the list of all the plans Netflix offers to cater to varied budgets, among which you can choose the one that suits you best.
