Most people are staying indoors due to the coronavirus outbreak and with malls and movie theatres being shut for now, streaming apps have now become the preferred modes of entertainment.
While there is Netflix, Hotstar and Prime Video, there is also YouTube and Google Play that allows you to buy as well as rent movies.
