Do you know that over 30,000 movies are made every year worldwide? And of these over 2000 are from India alone! Most of these movies, more than 90%, never see any distribution! We are not talking about just indie movies, but even mainstream cinema with top notch cast and crew (e.g. I Am Kalam, Rann) and regional movies made by successful directors (e.g. Masala Café) never make it beyond a few cities in India. More than 50% of the earnings for Hollywood movies comes from overseas collections, compared to a meager 7% for Bollywood films. Gigaplex intends to change all that.

Gigaplex is a distribution platform for movies with over a billion screens worldwide. The Gigaplex team travels 9 months in a year to bring edgy, offbeat and acclaimed movies to their audiences in over 94 countries. We believe that all great movies touch human emotions and tell stories that transcend cultural, regional and language boundaries. Filmmakers take incredible financial risks to bring their talents to the screen to see it all vanish when these movies are rampantly pirated even before they hit the silver screen! Gigaplex intends to help these talented story tellers to monetize their efforts by making it easy for people to choose to watch it on Gigaplex legally than watch a shoddy pirated print illegally obtained from a local store or from bit torrent sites.

Our goal is to make it drop-dead simple to discover, rent and watch these great movies from anywhere in the world using any device, any time. Gigaplex movies are available on all iOS devices, Android devices, Barnes & Noble Nook  and now on tablets, laptops and desktops via Gigaplex on Facebook.  Yes, you can watch movies right on Facebook and share your thoughts with your friends instantly. Gigaplex has invested significant effort in creating a seamless delivery and e-commerce platform to allow users worldwide to instantly watch movies with just a few clicks. The entire transaction is transparent – so content owners can see exactly how their movies are doing in any market at any time! This is especially important for movies that are screened for the first time, the premieres, where there is no data to draw from.

Starting in November of 2012, Gigaplex is introducing a new feature, Gigaplex Premieres, exclusively on Gigaplex on Facebook. We are bringing 4 brand new movies never before released in the US (or anywhere else outside India). All with English subtitles. 

The first one to premier on Nov 2, 2012 is the superhit Malayalam action thriller, Hero, starring the amazing Prithviraj and stunning Yami Gautam. With amazing stunts and lilting music by Gopi Sunder, this is a real treat for the movie buffs.

On Nov 9, is another Malayalam megahit, Vadhyar, starring Jayasurya as a young man forced by circumstances to teach at a government school. Directed by debutant Nidheesh Shakthi and soulful music by Manoj George and Gautham.

On Nov 23, we have the critically acclaimed Tamil film, 18 Vayasu, starring new comers Johny and Gayathri. The highlights of this dark thriller are excellent acting and some amazing stunt sequences never before seen in a Tamil film.
