Guys, I’ve mentioned my favourite movie app ‘MUBI’ many a times before. Yes, there’re plenty of options with Netflix, Prime and Hotstar, but you won’t find there what you get at MUBI. MUBI focuses on two kinds of movies - parallel cinema from film festivals worldwide, and classics from the best directors. And with a dose of quality documentaries at times. These include new and old movies from across the world. With 30 well-curated movies at any point in time. one movie leaves every day and a new one gets added. That also keeps you eager and earnest!
Some of the best movies I have seen over the last two-three years have been on MUBI. While these may not be the movies that entertain you the most (some do), these are generally the films that stay with you for a long long time! This is wholesome consumption that has the potential of forming us.
And now for the surprise! So far, MUBI had only international films. And understandably so, some of you aren’t yet into non-Indian content. But now, MUBI has added another tab , you guesses it right, Indian movies! So, now you get a choice of 30 Indian movies along with 30 international films! And one new film each getting added every day. And I am getting them under the same subscription (which is under Rs 2500 per annum).
The Indian collection is again a mix of old and new movies, mainstream (classics) and parallel cinema. It’s possible that you’ve seen a lot of them (I have), but there are always 5-10 movies in the current 30 that one hasn’t and are (more than) worth the subscription!
So, if you’ve gotten over the charms of Netflix/Prime (as an early Indian subscriber I got over it pretty soon - still view good stuff like Modern Love, but rationalise it), try creating some time to cultivate the MUBI habit. This is one habit you will not regret forming! I think they have a free trial period too so you can try before you buy.
Another nice feature is the MUBI website where fellow movie watchers from across the world give their ratings and reviews on each film that’s currently on show. And boy, those reviews are many a times a crash course in movie appreciation (especially for the international movies). Tells you that these are some seriously knowledgeable movie buffs.
If any of you are already enjoying MUBI, do comment with your feedback. Enjoy!
The following are the Indian movies currently on MUBI - so you get an idea. And remember, the earliest movie leaves every day and a new one gets added! (And just in case you wonder, I don’t get anything from MUBI in return for this. This is what happy customers do willingly for your product/brand)
