I subscribed to these shit people and got into troubles in life. I paid them joining fee and one month advance fee totalling Rs.1200. I queued up few movies but recd. none until 3 weeks. So i called and they said they will send them. after 2 months i got fed up with these fake promises and so i tried to cancel my membership. I never got any movie from these scoundrals in 2 months and later they agreed to refund only 1000 bucks and not 1200. I thought let me get rid of these and loose 200 but its been 6 weeks and i have not recd. my money back even after calling them almost daily since last 2 weeks. On the top of it i get mails from them saying my payment is due so i know what now these cunning people have planned is to keep me continued like this for another few months and then settle my account by paying nothing. Best of luck to all thinking to subscribe.</p> <p>Prashant Agarwal</p> Hi readers, Pls. dont get disguised by this fraud article. I subscribed to these shit people and got into troubles in life.

There were delays in delivery and the call centre were not at all helpful. Their website is often down. Over one of the long weekends, their shop was closed!! Most of the public would like to utilize the long weekends to see movies. They did not even send a confirmation (email or by post) when i closed the account. They have not returned the 999 that they asked to deposit, and they have also not collected the DVDs back. Finally, I landed up paying thousand bucks for two DVDs, which (even new original ones) would have costed 4-500.</p> <p>I sincerely hope, their management sees this, and works on it to improve the service.</p> I opened an account with Seventymm.com. their service is really bad.
