The highest tier Premium plan is priced at Rs 799 per month and streams 4K + HDR content and can be viewed on up to 4 screens at the same time.

It was in October that Netflix had confirmed this event for India. �We think that giving everyone in a country access to Netflix for free for a weekend could be a great way to expose a bunch of new people to the amazing stories that we have. Really creating an event, and hopefully get a bunch of those folks to sign up,� said Greg Peters, Chief Product Officer at Netflix, had said during the quarterly earnings call.
