Armed with local content as well, HOOQ will launch its service in India in June. After Thailand and Philippines, India will be HOOQ’s third market launch.
Subscribers can either stream or download from a catalogue of over 5,000 Hollywood movies, TV series and shows from Sony Pictures, Warner Bros, Disney, Dreamworks and Miramax.
The content includes movies like ‘Harry Potter’, ‘Spider-Man’, ‘Iron Man’, ‘Pulp Fiction’ and TV series like ‘Nikita’, ‘The Shield’, ‘Friends’, ‘Lost’ and ‘Grey’s Anatomy’.
In addition, HOOQ will also offer a range of over 10,000 Indian film and TV favourites.
For the same, it has partnered studios like Yash Raj Films (YRF), UTV Disney, Rajshri, Reliance, Shemaroo, Sri Balaji, AP International, Whacked Out Media and over 50 other studios. Initially, the major focus will be on movies.
Customers can watch local high-grossing films like ‘Chennai Express’, ‘Vishwaroopam’, as well as classic films including ‘Ek Duje Ke Liya’ and ‘Andaz Apna Apna’.
HOOQ is in talks with Indian and Hollywood studios to add more content. HOOQ CEO Peter Bithos said, “We are very excited to bring to Indian consumers the ultimate ad-free video-on-demand service at an amazingly low price.
HOOQ will offer India the largest and best catalogue of Hollywood and Indian content of any service available today.
We’ve built our service knowing the constraints and infrastructure issues faced by customers every day.
We have designed our service specifically for the challenges of India and other countries like it.”
He added that HOOQ offers features to ensure an uninterrupted viewing experience, including a custom setting for quality preference, a bandwidth indicator to assess internet connectivity, and adaptive streaming to maximise available bandwidth.
