This was much needed. No one atleast in India took Play Movies seriously. This is the very first app I disable on any phone. Back in the early days when streaming services didn't existed in India. There was a premium audience paying ₹1000s on DVD and Blu-ray sets. If you don't believe me. Go watch reviews on e-commerce platforms. Amazon.in didn't have everything. Those tv series lover went even to Amazon.com to buy stuff. It sure wasn't cheap. Some series like Friends cost ₹10000. Some only season cost ₹4000 - ₹5000. It's sad that we didn't got TV series for renting when we needed the most. RIP Play Movies. You won't be missed.

They told,it will be updated in few weeks.

Here’s what to expect
Over the next few weeks, the Play Movies & TV app on Android mobile devices will update to the new Google TV app. With Google TV, you'll see a new overall look, including a new app icon, logo, and name, but your favorite features aren’t going anywhere. You’ll also find your previously purchased entertainment in your Library tab.
