Kochi: In an era of piracy which poses a significant worry for many film producers, three cinema buffs here have come up with a novel platform for watching latest movies online, that too legally.
Xincoz Labs, which has launched the portal Reelmonk.com, said its aim is to take Malayalam films to viewers' homes the very day they release in the country.
"Through Reelmonk, film producers can release and promote their movies across 2.5 million screens of Indians across the globe. They can also see how their movies are performing on a daily basis on a transparent dashboard," it said.
Reelmonk.com is the brainchild of three 22-year-olds from Kochi -- Blaise Crowly, Vivek Paul, Gautham Vyas -- and is promoted by Konglo Ventures.
"We are set to launch on July 20th with 15 movies for users to download, including 'Nee-Na' by Lal Jose and 'Njan Steve Lopez' by Rajeev Ravi.
"An idea that originated over a midnight phone call with a friend is today ready for launch after a long and exciting journey that was full of challenges, setbacks, straight out crashes and amazing moments to cherish," said Crowly, CEO of Reelmonk.com.
