Youtube has joined hands with Eros Entertainment to offer Bollywood Channel. You can watch trailers of new Hindi movies here. Youtube already has thousands of Bollywood movie clips illegally uploaded by users. This is the first time Youtube has officially forayed into Indian cinema. The terms of the agreement is not known yet. It is not the first time Bollywood movies are streamed on the web. Rajshri films offers Bollywood movies on its website. Users can watch streaming movies for free and download it for a low price. They also offer various documentaries and TV shows. Similarly, Indya.com (Division of Star India Pvt. Ltd.) also offer streaming movies and television shows online at their broadband portal. However, with an abysmal broadband adoption rate in India, I am really not sure whether these companies can monetize successfully at present.
Update: Youtube and Tips Music has joined to offer another Bollywood Channel.
Thanks to Mashable for the Twitter tip.
