App and streaming works good, the player forward and backward skipping is not user-friendly. Prime and hot star keeps deleting movies. Keep a good collection of Malayalam movies to get noticed.

This has the potential to be the next big thing for Malayalam movies, if done correctly. I loved the way the movie playlists are curated and named based on actors and directors with special taglines. But why are those thumbnails made in utterly bad quality? It's hard to even read the tagline properly. One other issue is the login screen. I forgot my password and when I was taken to the reset password webpage, I got a 404 and that page itself does not exist. Hope to see a fix for these soon.
★★☆☆☆
They payment mechanism must be changed charging rs per movie is not affordable to most I think it's best to use the subscription model and maybe an optional pay per movie mechanism.
