A very quick review of Netflix's India offering, comparing it with the choices for Netflix streaming in the USA.
- The selections are very different, of course. For example, the Indian selection does not have "Who framed Roger Rabbit", many of the genres in http://ogres-crypt.
com/public/NetFlix-Streaming- Genres.html are just missing in the Indian version. (link removed when Blogger unpublished this post) - There are around fifty Indian movies (only) - youtube's selection is much wider for Hindi movies.
- Ditto for documentaries, eg. BBC documentaries.
- If you want to switch countries using a VPN like PureVPN, you can't use Firefox's Private Mode - Netflix doesn't work well with Private Mode. (link to quora page removed when Blogger unpublished this post - https://www.quora.com/Why-doesnt-Netflix-allow-you-to-watch-movies-with-Chromes-incognito-mode ) You have to clear the website preferences using History -> Clear Recent History -> Time Range to Clear -> Everything -> Details -> Cookies, Cache and Site preferences (for Firefox).
Edit: 15 Jan.
As of now, if you connect to a US VPN, you can access all the US titles even if your Netflix account is from India.
This page (link removed when Blogger unpublished this post - http://www.finder.com/in/netflix-india-vs-netflix-us-titles-list ) has a comparison of titles available in India vs US - two and a half pages of titles available in India, eighteen pages of titles available in USA with maybe a page or so available in India but not available in the USA.
Edit: 7th Nov 2022 - Blogger unpublished this post saying it violates community guidelines. Removing links and asking for a review. In what way does this violate community guidelines, I wonder.
