I haven’t tried Rajshri for a whole movie yet – once I realized how tiny they were, my bifocal-sporting self was sure of a headache.

Have you looked at Jaman.com? They have 80 or so Indian films, I think, including many from the NFDC that aren’t available elsewhere. Three free rentals (to watch on your computer using their player) when you sign up, then $2 or $5 to buy after that. What I like most is that in the player you can turn on a comment feature to leave comments for future viewers and read those from past viewers (which can include the director in some of their international indie films). I watch a lot of my Bollywood by myself, and sometimes the comments make it more fun. (Jaman has movies from various corners of the globe, too, so it’s not just a South Asian site.) Very legit.

Sorry I sound like an ad. (I did used to work for them when they were in beta mode.) I really like it, though, and I’m firmly with you on wanting to look for (and support) legal options.

Pranav, ah! Got it. I clicked on the other option. I agree that Big Flicks option is much better; at least for new movies. I guess, Rajshri is better for old movies that you want to watch but not necessarily buy.

I doubt if rajshri will stream new movies. After all, their biz model revolves around the ‘download-to-rent’ feature.

when you go to bigflicks.com, select broadband..then you’ll be able to browse through all the movies…and then view most of the old movies in their collection.

Pranav, the latest movies may not be for streaming yet but I’m sure with greater demand they might open up that option too. I know the download policy sucks.

I checked out the Big Flicks site but it is based on Netflix model and not for downloads/streaming.

patrix,

online streaming is mainly only for ‘older’ movies. the latest releases are not free.

the amount you pay ($4.99 – $9.99) are not to own the movie — Rajshri labels it as ‘download-to-rent’ movies. the DRM is provided by Brightcove.

Another site is the Reliance owned http://www.bigflicks.com
which follows a similar model too.

Supremus, whoa! Thanks. I’m not really a big fan of ‘illegal’ streaming sites due to bad quality and reliability (Part 1 works but part 2 doesn’t). I rather pay or wait for a good quality print.

Try bharatmovies.com – almost every new release seems to spring up there, and stays there for a while. I think bwcinema.com and bollygrounds.com (the latter one is littered with popups though!) are also decent options to try out. bwcinema.com has probably become our staple diet to check out movies, and at 3.99$ unlimted 3 day trial, doesnt beat it. Of course I am not sure how “legal” they operate though hehe :)
