In the Basic plan, there is no HD available, and a video can only be watched on a single screen at one time. Nonetheless, Basic plan users will be entailed to unlimited access to movies and TV shows, and they can watch them on a TV, laptop, smartphone or a tablet.

Users opting for the Standard plan will get access to HD prints and will be able to watch shows on two screens simultaneously. Premium plan, on the other hand, gives users access to Ultra HD prints and lets users watch shows or movies on up to four screens simultaneously. As mentioned above, no matter the plan one chooses, you will get the first month free, and will be able to cancel the subscription at any time.

The Indian prices are almost on par with their US counterparts. The one screen basic plan is priced at $7.99 (Rs 533 approximately), the two screens standard plan is priced at $9.99 (Rs 666 approximately), and the four screens premium plan is priced at $11.99 (Rs 800 approximately). US users also get access to a one month free trial.

For those worried about their data usage, Netflix says that movies or TV shows will consume up to 1GB of data per hour on standard definition, and up to 3GB per hour on high definition. Users will have access to all the popular shows like Daredevil, Narcos, Marco Polo and Jessica Jones among others. Netflix is also offering Indian content like movies and TV shows including the likes of Piku, Singh is King, Hate Story among others.

In India, Netflix will have to compete against the likes of Singapore-based Hooq, which was launched in India for Rs 199 per month, Hotstar, Ogle, Big Flix, Ditto TV and Spuul among others.
