Contributing to the Make-In-India story, entertainment destination BookMyShow has rolled out ‘BookMyShow Stream’, a home-grown transaction video-on-demand (TVOD) streaming platform. 

With more than 600 movie titles and 72,000+ hours of content, BookMyShow Stream will feature a handpicked, specially curated library of some of the best, celebrated and award-winning films and content from around the world along with India that users can rent or buy and watch. With more than 22,000 hours of content being exclusive to the platform at launch, BookMyShow Stream will feature multiple marquee premieres every Friday.

BookMyShow Stream is a data-rich offering that focuses on relevant and targeted content for consumers across specific film categories such as Premieres, Exclusives, World Cinema, Missed in Theatres, Festival Favourites and dedicated Bundles and has been built on the back of over 21 years of consumer understanding and data insights on user behaviour and preferences garnered on the platform.

BookMyShow Stream will be home to Christopher Nolan’s Tenet, the Gal Gadot-starrer Wonder Woman 1984 and Horror fantasy The Craft: Legacy, giving Indian cinephiles an opportunity to catch these blockbusters that they missed in theatres. Besides these, films such as Alone, Yes God Yes, The Peanut Butter Falcon, The Guilty, Les Miserables, Unhinged and acclaimed Russian Sci-fi thriller Coma, from premium Independent studios, will premiere exclusively on BookMyShow Stream.
