fastfilmz – an app that is a 100% dedicated to regional
movies, now has over 70 Telugu titles including Gopala Gopala, Drushyam and
Kick 2 to name a few, marking its entry to the Telangana and Andhra Pradesh
markets. The company is redefining movie watching for India’s film-crazy fans,
powered by the world’s fastest video compression technology: V- Nova Limited’s
Persus Technology. The app offers unlimited downloads at affordable data costs
as low as Rs 30 a month i.e. Re. 1 a day! Within two months of its launch, the
fastfilmz app is now one of the top-rated movie-watching apps on Google Play. fastfilmz subscribers can share full movie downloads between
each other in under 1min and using Zero data. The newly patented technology uses
an encryption key to prevent piracy.
fastfilmz is co-founded by Harvard and Kellogg alumni and
previous employees of McKinsey & Company in the UK - Dominic Charles and
Karam Malhotra – co-CEOs and co-Founders, fastfilmz. The company has been
funded by multiple angel investors from the USA and Europe.
The fastfilmz app is designed for the common man in India
who loves regional cinema but cannot afford high data charges, an expensive
smartphone or even movie tickets on a regular basis. On the other hand, the
subscription cost for this app starts at Rs 10 per week and only Rs. 30 per
month. The payment model has been simplified by the company to appeal to the
end-consumer, where the amount will be deducted from the talk-time and does not
involve the hassle of having to pay by a debit/credit card or even a mobile
wallet.
fastfilmz has exclusively partnered with V-Nova for its Persus
Technology – the world’s fastest video compression technology. V-Nova Limited
is a London-headquartered software company providing advanced video compression
technology and software solutions. By uniquely enabling SD quality video
distribution at sub-audio bit-rates (i.e., < 128 kbps), V-Nova Persus allows
fastfilmz to provide quality video streaming over the 2G networks that 70% of
India’s consumers use for Internet access.
“We are very excited
about our new offerings for the Telangana and Andhra Pradesh markets. While
conducting our market study, we noticed that the regional movie consumption is
as large as Bollywood. However, not all regional movie consumers have access to
fast networks and affordable data to watch movies on their smartphones. This is
where fastfilmz makes the movie-watching experience a lot more accessible and
affordable”, say Karam Malhotra & Dominic Charles, Co-CEOs and Co-Founders,
fastfilmz.
The content on the fastfilmz app will be refreshed on a
weekly basis; two of the famous Telugu hits, Bengal Tiger and 1-Nenokkadine,
will be up on the app very soon.
