Google Play Movies now in India

Google Play Movies are finally in India, about a month after Books were introduced in the Indian market. A Google Play support document mentioned the development.

Google Play Movies offers the ability to rent and purchase movies. Google has also rolled out the service in Mexico, in this round. Both Hindi and English films are available on the Store at the time of writing this post. Some HD titles are also available. One can rent movies for as low as Rs.50 and buy them for a minimum of Rs. 190. 



The movies section has been made live on the web version of Google Play as well as on the mobile version. Users can install the Play Movies app on their Android device to download, watch and manage movies they've purchased or rented.
Movies can be streamed over Wifi or 3G via the Play store on the device or on a computer by visiting play.google.com/movies. Users can also download movies to their Android device for offline viewing via the Play Movies app.

Update: Google has also introduced rentals and purchases for films on YouTube in India. Users can rent a movie for 30 days but once they start playing a movie they need to view it within 48 hours. If they purchase a movie they can view it as many times as they like. Interestingly, Google has also enabled syncing of movie purchases between Google Play Movies and YouTube.
