In a welcome move, Netflix India has slashed the prices for various plans offered to Indian viewers. The move from Netflix comes at a time when several netizens have raised their voices against the OTT giant for charging Rs 799 for 4K plans. Moreover, other OTT platforms like Amazon Prime Video and Disney+Hotstar are providing 4K plans to users for a very less rate compared to Netflix.

Netflix has reduced the price of its much popular Rs 199 plan to Rs 149. In this plan, viewers can watch movies on mobile phones at 480 pixels on two devices. This plan has huge popularity among young audiences in the nation who use smartphones to enjoy movies and shows.
