TV and Movie Streaming Services in India
Well, TV and movie streaming services in India are really very bad considering the average internet download speed and also fewer players to compete with the already established satellite TV services.

Anne Of Green Gables (1985) – A Magical Tale
Based on Lucy Maud Montgomery’s novel “Anne of Green Gables”, this Canadian television drama film is indeed magical with the content and performances of its lead characters.

An Oscar-winning or a Roger Ebert-certified movie always promises a nice time.

The storyline is based on the concept of four human emotions: happiness, pleasure, sorrow, and love that together make up […]
