This is one of the first channels that we Indians had to get hooked onto to catch out some English flicks. Nowadays though we have options.
Again like all channels in the Star TV group the picture transmission and the sound quality are exceptionally impressive. Add that to slick advertising and chic marketing and what we have is a very successful movie channel. This picture has a well worked out routine. Like Monday for comedies, Tuesday for action, Wednesday for YouPickTheFlick.com and so on. In a month, they show about 4 to 5 new movies.
But the one thing that this channel is guilty of is that it repeats the same movies over a period of time. Other channels do this too but they are not as obvious as in Star Movies. But as viewers I guess we should take that in our stride. Another thing is the large amount of advertisements that you have to view while watching a film. They also cut some scenes maybe due to broadcasting laws set by India, which seriously alter the flow of the film.
The bottom line is that watch this channel for it always has good movies coming up. But the line up of movies to which it already holds the telecast rights are good too.
