Bigflix Vod gets rebranded to MyBigFlix.com
MUMBAI: With an objective to give personalised movie-watching experience a whole new dimension for users across the world, video-on-demand website bigflix.com has changed its name to MyBigFlix.com.
With a KPMG research report on video-on-demand and streaming media consumption stating that the consumption of on-demand media is on a constant rise and will continue to do so, BigFlix.com has created a more personalised connect with its users with MyBigFlix.com.
Speaking on the rebranding, MyBigFlix.com business head Murtuza Kagalwala said, “We are very glad to have taken this step to re-brand our broadband website to MyBigFlix.com, where it‘s all about my movies. The team has been constantly observing user-behaviour with regards to movie entertainment watching habits on the internet and concluded with interesting key inferences.”
“Another interesting report by KPMG says that digital media consumption jumped pretty dramatically from 6 hours and 14 minutes to 7 hours and 28 minutes over the last six months (Sept 2009 to March 2010), says Kagalwala.
Those who preferred online viewing were a vast majority at 93 per cent who cited the availability of on-demand content as the reason they watched TV shows online. Also the ability to get content free was the second-most important reason at 80 per cent and the convenience of watching their factor anytime they want, at 73 per cent. “We at, MyBigFlix.com will have much more for our users to make it more personal in the coming months and take movie watching experience to a whole new level,” added Kagalwala.
Movies is all about one‘s preference and video-on-demand is about what consumers want when they want to consume, hence MyBigFlix is all about making this available for its existing and new users.
There is a special feature, Playlist which allows the user to add his favourite content be it TV shows, movies, music videos, trailers from over 2000 movies and more than 100 television shows from MyBigFlix.com content catalogue.
The website currently has 10 million visitors month-on-month across the world of which 5 to 6 million visitors are from India with an average time spend of 110 minutes per-user per-month.

Dhurandhar 2 hit by YouTube leak amid record box office run
Cam-rip surfaces online but blockbuster streak continues at record pace
MUMBAI: It has been a dramatic week for Dhurandhar: The Revenge. Even as the espionage thriller smashes box office records, a piracy scare briefly threatened to steal its thunder after a full-length version surfaced on YouTube.
The leak emerged on March 30 via a channel titled “A2z movie”, which uploaded what appeared to be a cam-recorded print of the film. Clocking in at nearly three hours and 49 minutes, the footage was reportedly blurry but complete enough to spark spoilers and fan outrage online.
Soon after, users on X began flagging the issue, explicitly naming the “A2z movie” channel in their posts while tagging the film’s makers and urging swift legal action. Fans of director Aditya Dhar and lead star Ranveer Singh were particularly vocal, helping the issue gain rapid traction.
Within hours, the video was taken down, likely through a mix of platform detection systems and intervention by producers Jio Studios and B62 Studios.
Despite the leak, the film’s theatrical run remains virtually unshaken. As of March 31, the sequel has raked in an estimated Rs 872.17 crore net in India, with worldwide collections soaring to Rs 1,392.23 crore. Its Hindi opening day alone brought in Rs 102.55 crore, setting a new benchmark.
In a notable milestone, the film has matched Pushpa 2 as the fastest Indian release to cross the Rs 1,000 crore mark globally, achieving the feat in just seven days.
Interestingly, the version leaked online is believed to be an earlier cut. Midway through its theatrical run, the makers issued revised prints after eagle-eyed viewers spotted a fleeting editing error involving a cameraman’s reflection. The corrected version now plays across cinemas, adding an unusual twist to the film’s release journey.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, the high-stakes sequel stars Ranveer Singh alongside Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal and Sara Arjun. The film has drawn praise for its scale and action sequences, though some critics have pointed to its intense violence and layered political themes.
For now, piracy may have made noise, but it has not slowed the juggernaut. If anything, the episode underlines the film’s cultural grip, proving that even a leak cannot derail a box office storm already in full force.
