The 10 Best Movies to Watch on Amazon Prime Video in India

Amazon Prime Video, or simply Prime Video, is Amazon's television and movie streaming service. Amazon launched Amazon Unbox, an online movie rental, and download service, in 2006, shortly before Netflix introduced online streaming. This was before the Prime Video we know today. You can stream up to three titles at once from the same account with Prime Video. Most other video streaming services allow for several streams to be active at the same time. You can also use Amazon Prime Video Coupons to save more.

Amazon created Amazon Instant Video in 2011 to improve the Prime subscription service, giving Prime subscribers access to 5,000 streaming movies and TV shows. In 2015, Unbox was shut down, and Amazon rebranded its streaming service as Amazon Prime Video. In 2016, it became available as a stand-alone service, separate from Amazon Prime. Let us take a look at the ten best movies to watch on Amazon Prime:

1. Inception (2010) (8.8)

Director: Christopher Nolan

Stars: Leonardo DiCaprio, Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Elliot Page[a], Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Tom Berenger, Michael Caine

Genre: Science/ Fiction

Inception is not only one of the most innovative films in recent memory, but it is also utterly captivating. The chases, the accidents, the blasts, the extractions, the interrogations, the heartbreak, the longing, and the despair all take place in the world of dreams, just as they did in The Matrix. After Shutter Island, Leonardo is on a roll, scoring another high. A special mention goes to cinematographer Wally Pfister, who blends the real and the unreal with such deftness that you never get lost and are always mindful of the slick terrain you're walking on. Go ahead, be enthralled, and test your mental limits.

2. The Matrix (1999) (8.7)

Director: The Wachowskis

Stars: Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving, Joe Pantoliano

Genre: Science-Fiction

Warner Bros.' The Matrix, a cyber sci-fi blowout with mind-blowing visual effects and advanced comic book storytelling, will open with a bang and have a wide-open month to become early 1999's biggest hit. Young and mature males will be lining up for a technologically stunning film that advances the genre and features crowd-pleasing performances to go with the regular scenes of gunplay and crime, according to word-of-mouth. Larry and Andy Wachowski, who made an excellent debut with the small-scale, tightly wound Bound, deserve credit for crafting a brain-twisting, eye-popping thriller.

3. Interstellar (2014) (8.6)

Director: Christopher Nolan

Stars: Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain Bill. Irwin Ellen Burstyn Michael Caine

Genre: Science and Fiction

"Interstellar," an exhilarating slalom through Christopher Nolan's enormous imagination's wormholes that is both a science-geek fever dream and a formidable examination of what makes us human, goes to infinity and beyond. As visually and conceptually bold as anything Nolan has done before, the director's ninth film is also more emotionally accessible than his coolly intellectual thrillers and Batman films, touching on timeless topics including parental sacrifices for their children (and vice versa) and the world we will leave for the next generation to inherit.

4. Udaan(2022) (8.6)

Director: Vikramaditya Motwane

Stars: Rajat Barmecha, Ronit Roy, Aayan Boradia, Ram Kapoor, Manjot Singh, Anand Tiwari

Genre: Drama

Udaan is unorthodox Bollywood at its most biting. The film is a moody, introspective, and unique look at adolescent angst, a subject that has never received the attention it deserves in Hindi cinema, which has largely relegated the 16-year-old tale to teeny-bopper rolls-in-the-haystack romances. Udaan, a film from the Anurag Kashyap school of cinema, has the edgy feel and bittersweet emotional heart that India's neo-wave cinema is known for. No, life isn't always a happy-ever-after, and families that eat together don't always stay together. There's a lot of grit under the surface, and that's where all the real drama happens.

5. Asuran(2022) (8.4)

Director: Vetrimaaran

Stars: Dhanush, Manju Warrier

Genre: Period Action

We were always on the edge of our seats thanks to the confident storytelling (there isn't a single wasted moment), good filmmaking (Velraj's cinematography, in particular, is a highlight), and excellent performances. Dhanush, who is fantastic in this film, gives another standout performance for the director. The actor convincingly portrays the physicality of a 40-plus man when playing a character who is older than his actual age. His limbs dangle loosely, his walk is a little slower and unsteady, and his voice has the tremors that come with age. This can be considered one of his best results.

6. Mad Max: Fury Road(2015) (8.1)

Director: George Miller

Stars: Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, Hugh Keays-Byrne, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Riley Keough, Zoë Kravitz, Abbey Lee, Courtney Eaton

Genre: Action

When it comes to crash-and-burn chases featuring cars that look like they were forged in the Devil's backyard, Fury Road is a relentless, action-packed attack with not a nanosecond to spare. The cinematography places you right in the middle of the action, almost putting you in the middle of every insane twist and turn in a chase as characters scramble and the battle over, under, above, and in front of flat-out bizarrely pimped out vehicles. Some of the scenes are simply bizarre. The attention to detail, on the other hand, is outstanding. On the other hand, the relentless assault on the senses will divide audiences – you'll either hate it or love it. That's what there is to it. This could be the ticket if you're looking for a big-screen thrill ride this summer.

7. Nipah Virus (2019) (7.9)

Director: Aashiq Abu

Cast: Revathi, Kunchacko Boban, Tovino Thomas, Parvathy Thiruvothu, Soubin Shahir, Indrajith Sukumaran, Madonna Sebastian, and others.

Genre: Thriller

When the deadly Novel Coronavirus epidemic hit India, the critically acclaimed Malayalam medical thriller Virus was all over the news. The film, which was released in July of 2019, was inspired by the deadly Nipah Virus, which ravaged Kerala in 2018. Nipah Virus is the Telugu title for the film, which had its digital premiere on Aha on December 4th.

This movie became popular amid COVID 19 outbreak and is available on other OTT platforms like Aha. You can also check out other top telugu movies on Aha. The Nipah Virus put humanity to the test. The director's thought process in creating an emotional thriller that confronted this greatest foe must be admired. Except for a few sluggish spots, the film is very gripping. Those who enjoy emotionally medical thrillers should check out Nipah Virus. The film will leave an indelible impression, particularly now that the world is at the mercy of the Coronavirus pandemic.

8. Ak Ayyappanum Koshiyum (2020) (7.9)

Director: Sachy

Stars: Prithviraj Sukumaran, Biju Menon, Gowri Nandha, Ranjith

Genre: Action Thriller

Jakes Bejoy's music adds to the film's natural feel by mixing well with Sudeep Elamon's visuals, confirming Mohandas' refreshing art direction, which captures the greenery, sun, and shadows of Attapadi. It's worth mentioning the folk elements in the BGM. Aside from a well-written script with engaging character development, the casting is a plus. Though Prithviraj and Biju Menon make spectacular debuts in the new decade, Ranjith gracefully brings Kurian John to life. Kannamma is played by Gowri Nanda, who is a powerful character. Kalanilayam Rameshan, Anil P Nedumangad, Sabumon Abdusamad, Dhanya, and Anu Mohan have also distinguished themselves with their roles.

9. Apocalypto (2006) (7.8)

Director: Mel Gibson

Stars: Rudy Youngblood, Raoul Trujillo, Mayra Sérbulo, Dalia Hernández, Jonathan Brewer

Genre: Epic Historical

"Apocalypto" is a film about the Mayan civilization's collapse. It tells the tale of Jaguar Paw, whose small village is invaded by a group of hunters from a neighboring metropolis, whose duty it is to pillage small defenseless communities while searching for "volunteers" for their "most dangerous game": the sacrificing practices that the city's leaders use to entertain the masses. And, on the whole, it's a pretty good performance. At least among journalists, there is a propensity to regard Mr. Gibson as either a monster or a genius, a false dichotomy that he often promotes.

10. The Conjuring (2013) (7.5)

Director: James Wan

Stars: Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Ron Livingston, Lili Taylor

Genre: Supernatural, Horror

Director James Wan pulls all the right strings to construct such a tense and unsettling atmosphere that the film, like evil spirits, feeds on your fear. The Conjuring isn't particularly 'different' in terms of concept, with haunted homes, eerie cellars, possessed dolls, cold and lonely nights, paranormal phenomena, and exorcism. While the setting and plot are familiar, it's the straightforward execution that sets it apart. Much to our delight, director James Wan's (Saw, Insidious) direction defies the tired horror movie clichés that have led most people to dismiss the genre. There are no cheap thrills, over-the-top sound effects, obnoxious camera angles (found footage style), excessive gore or visual grossness, or aping a cult horror classic.

Other Popular Shows

More than 200 Amazon Original Series are available on Prime Video, which is more than Hulu's 100 or so and less than Netflix's few hundred. The critical acclaim that Amazon's Original series has received is impressive: In recent years, shows like The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The Boys, Fleabag, A Really English Scandal, Good Omens, The Man In The High Castle, Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, Transparent, and Mozart in the Jungle have all been nominated for or won Emmy awards. These shows are usually available for a full season at a time on the website.

Conclusion

Amazon Prime Video has a growing library of original content as well as a good selection of movies and TV shows to watch. Subscribers can now download the 4K content for offline streaming. Additionally, Amazon offers a large selection of TV shows and movies for rent or purchase. However, it does not have as many high-quality shows as the top services, and third-party content tends to disappear.
