With this, users will be able to experience the tradition grabbing a ticket amid the lockdown!
The platform is excited to possibly transform living rooms to movie houses.
"Amid the nationwide lockdown, the simple joy of going to the theatre with friends and family has been put on hold. As a company that has revolutionised the experience of entertainment in India, it was hence our onus to provide a platform to movie enthusiasts by premiering unreleased movies and re-creating the theatre viewing experience for our audiences," Mr. Hiren Gada, CEO, Shemaroo Entertainment Limited says.
"With a handpicked and exciting mix of Bollywood and Regional movies, ShemarooMe Box Office brings the magic of cinema to millions of viewers across the country," Gada added.
Sharib Hashmi says he is honored that his film, "My Client's Wife" was chosen to be the platform's initial offering.
"I am elated to have my movie premiered on the ShemarooMe Box Office platform for millions of Bollywood fans across the country. My Client's Wife is a story very close to my heart and I feel there is nothing greater than entertaining our audience, especially during these times of uncertainty when cinema may have great relevance in our lives. It gives me immense honour to be associated with a brand such as Shemaroo Entertainment and kick start this journey of ShemarooMe Box Office," Hashmi expressed.
Also lined up to release on Box Office is "Graham Staines, Ek Ankahi Sachhai: The Least of These". Sharman Joshi, part of the globally applauded project, says new ways to connect to audience always fascinates him.
"Streaming will play a big role in show business as we evolve and it is amazing that ShemarooMe is encouraging a diverse range of cinema through Box Office. My film is a heartfelt tale that narrates some very tragic facts, and I am glad it finds place on an incredible platform such as ShemarooMe Box Office," the actor said.
Airlift actor Prakash Belawadi, agrees with his co-star, Sharman.
"It's great that people can still get the big screen experience, and in their homes, thanks to ShemarooMe Box Office. Our film contains some hard hitting facts along with an important message; it is indeed rewarding to know it will finally get out there instead of being lost in oblivion," he said.
