Bangaloreans – get movie info on your mobile (mvies.in enters Bangalore)

I introduced mVies.in to readers of this site and I am glad to announce that mVies.in has launched it’s Bangalore edition (you hear it here first!).Indian startups, mvies.in

“mobiSolv, the company behind http://mvies.in mobile application today announced the availability of their application for Bangalore. mVies.in is a mobile solution that provides the most accurate movie information on Mobile Phones. Earlier the application covered only Delhi and Mumbai, but now it would also cover Bangalore, the silicon valley of India.

It is widely known that Bollywood has been seeing sagging revenues for some time because of various reasons.

The application is a boon for movie buffs who want movie related information and have earlier resorted to newspaper and phone calls. mVies.in provides all the movie show timings and cinema hall information right on your mobile phone. It even allows you to make phone calls for reservation without typing the phone number.”

I strongly see a need for such kind of service in each and every Indian city. Indian entertainment industry (analysis here), apart from serving the millionaire stars and actors needs to be delivered thru’ several other means/services.
Infact, I’d rather say that a directory service is what I need – i.e. listing of the following:

  • current movies running in the theatres (with details of ticket prices)
  • click-to-call feature for all the theatres, across all metros.

What do you say? What other Bollywood-centric services do you need?Advanced ticket booking?
