Amazon Launches Prime Video Channels In India

So, if I open the LionsGate listing, it does not show me that the same content is available from another platform where I am already subscribed.

I guess that would be too much to expect.
 
they seem to be keeping them separate apart from search. it should have been separate for search as well.

recommendations on a title seems to be from that specific service only. though i did not check multiple titles.

and because of this feature addition, now all listings on the homepage have prime branding on them. so much idiocy. either keep them completely separate. or merge the services that the user has already subscribed for. this is just like the shit Amazon.in search is these days. you would get everything (ads, completely different brands, completely different products) but the product you want through the amazon service you want it through (prime/fresh/pantry/now/whatever).

gotta love the tiny blue prime sticker on all prime video content.

There are a few content that overlap with other platforms. If a new user sees that the content they want to watch is on other platform, then they may just subscribe. Now we just have to use extra steps to watch content, first confirming if it's available on prime or not.
And yeah, the search on Amazon is just crazy. When I bought the chair a few months back I had to google search because amazon just wasn't showing what I wanted.
 
by the way, are they undercutting the pricing of the services by offering lower introductory price or is it similar to what these services offer on their own platform?
 
I only have Discovery Plus out of these which I got for ₹299. Will know when it expires. I checked Mubi and it costs really high, so trying out the first year isn't bad but there already is enough OTT services. Same with others I guess, a little introductory discount for the first year.
 
Mubi gets highly curated stuff. Definitely worth it if you like offbeat movies.
 
Nothing on Airtel Xstream STB as well.
I too have Discovery+ Annual plan for ₹299.
But I am not sure if its good idea to buy plans from Amazon. I faced lots of issue when I had subscribed Zee5 from Amazon ID, plan never got activated, nor I was able to have that plan on mobile app.
Good thing was Amazon canceled Zee5 plan and refunded amount soon.
