It has been almost 2 years now and I have been watching a movie almost every second day. That is close to 300 movies in the last 2 years. I have suddenly become an expert in movies thanks to Bigflix. Initially there was a lot of trouble with the delivery, but constant complaining ensured that action was taken and now it has become a well oiled machinery.
For someone who likes watching Hindi English, Tamil, Bengali, French all kinds of films; BigFlix is a boon. Though I would have spent over 6000 Rs on rentals over the last two years, given the fact that I would typically invest Rs 500-1000 every month on buying DVDs - this has still worked out cheaper.
However the things that you will not get with Bigflix is
New films will take 3 months after being released on DVD and before they are delivered to you. This is in spite of regular queuing
Some films which are released on Moser Baer are not available on BigFlix at all. So you will not get Wednesday, Tahaan, Delhi 6 and many such films even 1-2 years after their DVD release. This is a big negative
The international films collection excludes quite a few classics
So if you are only looking for watching new films - this is not the service for you. But if you are a genuine movie buff who likes movies of all languages and vintage, you cannot not have BigFlix. All the competing services are way too costly in comparison.
